It was the three-time Cy Young Award winner's first game action since back surgery in mid-December. Scherzer struck out four without a walk while throwing 32 of his 52 pitches for strikes Wednesday night for Round Rock. Jason Martin and Cole Tucker hit solo homers for Salt Lake, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.
