Max Scherzer aims to stay hot as Tigers try to stretch winning streak to seven.
Max Scherzer's ERA has been falling for most of the season. But he has been especially effective for the past month or so.
Scherzer will try to keep that hot streak going this afternoon when the Detroit Tigers play the second game of their three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Scherzer is 3-2 with a 2.45 ERA in his past five outings, which have all been quality starts. Scherzer struck out 41 in 33 innings in those five starts and has seen his ERA fall from 5.88 to 4.72 during that stretch.
Scherzer is 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA in three career starts against the Orioles. Jim Thome is 6-for-13 with a home run in his career against Scherzer, while Adam Jones is 5-for-9.
No current Tigers hitter has ever faced left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, who will start today for the Orioles.
Ramon Santiago is starting at second and hitting second against the left-hander, with Ryan Raburn starting in right field in place of Brennan Boesch. Quintin Berry is starting in left field and batting ninth.

I know he has struggled this season but why take Boesch out after he had a good game?

 

[manchild98]

Prince knocks in Jackson with a 2 out opposite field double. 1-0. 64th rbi.

 

[biggunsbob]

That a boy!!!!

What the hell kinda slide was that?

3.0 on the Richter scale.

 

[gotime909]

Big hit for Prince, but that was pretty reckless baserunning. Damn lucky it wasn't even a average throw into second. 1-0 though!!

Loading as many RH hitters against Chen as possible.

Berry would probably get sat if we had another RH OF'er.

 

[manchild98]

Max is getting hit early. Thome doubles and drives in a run. 1-1.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why not pitch carefully to the Tiger killer??? Makes no senses.

 

[gotime909]

Jesus Ramon, you had time!

Raburn almost with the assist to a homer.

Good thing that right field wall is high.

He looked like a ballerina on that play. Pathetic.

Scherzer is not hitting any of Gerald's targets today, and his mistakes are costing us.

Yeah, I noticed one pitch where Laird was set up waaaay outside to a RH hitter and Max came in on him.

 

[gotime909]

Chen is leaving a lot of pitches up and we're just missing them. Hopefully we can make him pay soon.

 

[biggunsbob]

I hope this is not another national TV stinker brewing....

ugh
