Scott hit an opposite-field, first-inning grand slam to left and added a three-run shot to right in the second. He came in with a .185 batting average, two homers and six RBIs.
Scherzer yielded 12 runs, 11 earned, on nine hits in 2 1-3 innings. The right-hander had a 10.38 ERA this spring.
Scherzer is scheduled to pitch Sunday in New York and has been chosen to start the home opener against Kansas City on April 8.
