In the second inning against Minnesota, Scherzer reached behind his back to catch a grounder hit by Twins second baseman Edouard Julien. The right-hander had his back to home plate after delivering the pitch when he made the snag with his glove hand. After snaring the grounder, Scherzer calmly threw to first base for the out.
