00:00Blue Jays ace refused to exit game. He made the right call.
00:05Thursday night's Game 4 was vintage postseason baseball.
00:08Full of tension, big moments, and one very fired up 41-year-old Max Scherzer refusing to back down from anything.
00:14Let's set the stage because this one wasn't just another game in the series.
00:18It was the pulse check for the entire Blue Jays postseason run.
00:22Coming into Game 4, the Blue Jays faced immense pressure.
00:25After losing the first two games at home, they rebounded with a Game 3 win in Seattle.
00:30However, a 3-1 series deficit loomed, making this non-elimination game feel crucial.
00:36Manager John Schneider entrusted Max Scherzer, the seasoned warrior who had battled injuries.
00:42On Thursday night, Scherzer delivered a performance reminiscent of his prime, defying doubts with renewed vigor.
00:48Scherzer wasn't just decent, he was dialed in.
00:51By the fifth inning, holding a 5-1 lead, he sliced through the Mariners' lineup like a man on a mission.
00:57Drama unfolded with a runner on first, forcing Schneider to approach the mound.
01:02Scherzer stood his ground and won, striking out Randy Aro Zrena with a wicked off-speed pitch to escape the inning, stomping off in classic Mad Max fire.
01:12He ended up going into the sixth before finally handing it over, but by then the Jays were up 5-2, and Scherzer was lined up for the win.
01:19Toronto's offense added crucial runs, achieving an 8-2 win, leveling the ALCS at two games each.
01:26If the Jays triumph in this series, Scherzer's fierce performance in Game 4 will be remembered as pivotal.
