Max Scherzer allowed four runs and four hits in five innings in the 500th appearance -- and 491st start -- of his career Wednesday against the Orioles in Baltimore.
Just how many more he makes is now the question.
Scherzer said after the game that he'll likely have something to say in the next couple days about his future.
The 42-year-old right-hander said he hopes he can come back on short rest to pitch again Sunday in the season finale for a Blue Jays team that officially was eliminated from the postseason race after dropping Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader to Baltimore, 4-2 -- a year after winning the American League pennant.
Scherzer dropped to 3-9 with a 6.14 ERA.
