20 strikeouts for Max Scherzer. That's just amazing. There's some kid out there now that just became a lifelong Nationals fan. I say this because I knew I would be a lifetime Cubs fan after watching Kerry Wood strike out 20 Astros.
8 different Tigers faced Scherzer wrath. Only Victor Martinez figured out Scherzer enough to not strikeout. He actually had 3 hits.
Scherzer only threw 119 pitches. 9 innings. 20 strikeouts. 119 pitches. 96 for strikes, 23 balls. No walks. Just a masterful game.
Scherzer becomes the 4th pitcher to throw a 20 strikeout game. The last since Randy Johnson in 2001. Juiced up Roger Clemens is the only pitcher to throw multiple 20 strikeout games with 2.
