TORONTO — It wasn’t the return Max Scherzer and the Toronto Blue Jays wanted. In his first game in 47 days, the 41-year-old starter allowed five earned runs in 3 1/3 innings pitched, pushing his season ERA over 10.The results haven’t been there for Scherzer this year amid an injury-filled and inconsistent campaign. The Jays have other starting options coming, but with a future Hall of Famer on the roster, the Jays aren’t quick to jettison a legend. Scherzer has been great for Toronto before, and the Jays express trust that he’ll find that form again. We’ll see if he can.“You want to try to see what it looks like when he gets some consistent work and kind of evaluate it then,” manager John Schneider said. “I think he’s earned that. I think that’s the reason why we signed him back. You don’t make any knee-jerk reactions after an outing after a month plus off.”Scherzer’s Wednesday start began with fanfare. On five pitches, he struck out Philadelphia Phillies leadoff man Kyle Schwarber for his 3,500th career strikeout, becoming the 11th pitcher ever to reach the milestone. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took off his glove and kick-started a standing ovation. The video board highlighted the accomplishment, and the crowd roared. There wasn’t much cheering after that.
