Scherzer dazzled in his Dodgers debut after being acquired from the Nationals in a blockbuster deal before the July 30 trade deadline. The three-time Cy Young Award winner struck out 10 and allowed two earned runs over seven innings in a win against Houston. He did it Sunday night in a win at Wrigley Field, then kept connecting Monday night at Target Field against the Twins. Guerrero has 35 home runs, second in the majors to Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani (37). Springer on Monday became the first Toronto player to win consecutive AL player of the week awards.
