New Nat Papelbon saves Scherzer's 11th win

Zimmerman, in his third game since returning from the disabled list, launched the deciding home run -- his sixth of the season -- in the second inning off Marlins starter Dan Haren. It was the 21st homer surrendered this season by Haren, who took the loss despite working six innings of four-hit ball.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Scherzer dominates: Scherzer regrouped from his subpar effort to lower his ERA to 2.22. The righty coaxed inning-ending double plays out of Jeff Mathis and Christian Yelich in the fifth and sixth, respectively.
