In Monday night's game, the Blue Jays lost the game—and Cody Ponce. It was a tough and trying night for the bullpen.

That's why last night, John Schneider needed Max Scherzer to deliver. And it quickly became clear that the pitcher was in top form.

That's exactly what happened, in fact. After all, MadMax stepped up for his team to secure the win against the Colorado Rockies.

In a 5-1 win, the starter (who had also had an excellent spring training) was able to deliver a quality start. Over six innings, he allowed just one run.

And since the bullpen held strong, it helped the team immensely.

It wasn't a spectacular victory full of twists and turns. But five guys stepped up to drive in a run each, and the team got 14 hits.

The Blue Jays got back to their usual ways and played a solid game of baseball. And it all started with the veteran who took the mound to set the tone with a strong performance.

This afternoon, the Blue Jays will try to win the series against Colorado. After that, they'll head to Chicago for the White Sox's season opener tomorrow afternoon.
