Scherzer Shatters Strikeout Record at 42 | MLB News

Max Scherzer just etched his name in baseball history, passing Gaylord Perry for ninth on the all-time strikeout list with his 3,535th K — and it came during a dominant 10-strikeout game against the Mariners. At 42 years and 34 days old, he’s now the oldest pitcher ever to record at least 10 strikeouts while allowing one hit or fewer — joining only Nolan Ryan in that elite club. With 115 career games of 10+ strikeouts (second only to Ryan and Randy Johnson), Scherzer continues to defy age, finishing his outing with four runs lead and just one baserunner allowed — a reminder of why he’s among the game’s all-time greats.
