Max Scherzer Got Run Out in the Third and the Twins Just Took the Series From Toronto
The Minnesota Twins came out swinging early and didn't let up. Max Scherzer couldn't get out of the third inning as the Twins chased the Blue Jays starter and took the series. That's the kind of statement baseball teams make when they show up ready to play from pitch one.
Scherzer's Early Exit
Scherzer hit the mound for Toronto with the series on the line, but Minnesota had other plans. The Twins got to him quick and forced him out of the game before the third inning was even over. When your ace is done before you've played a quarter of the ballgame, that's a problem. That's a really big problem.

The Twins' aggressive approach paid off. By getting Scherzer out early, they flipped the momentum completely in their favor. Toronto couldn't recover from that early punch, and Minnesota walked away with the series win. This is what happens when a team comes ready to work from the first pitch.
The Blue Jays will have to regroup and figure out how to get their ace some better support and earlier run production. For now, the Twins head home with a series victory and the kind of confidence that comes from beating a team at full strength.
