Didn't you quit on this team after the KC series? I had a feeling a lot of the posters who gave up on the season after the KC series would be right back here Saturday/Sunday.

Good win tonight, Scherzer looked great, as he has for quite some time now. Tigers are dangerous if they can make the playoffs with JV, Scherzer, and Fister.

Cabby .14 points away from 1000 OPS. Might seem not important but I'd love if he went .1000 OPS for 3rd year in a row.

Max Scherzer's Streak Unmatched by Any Pitcher in Tigers History
From Elias: Max Scherzer won his fifth straight start, holding the first-place White Sox scoreless over eight innings and striking out nine as the Tigers beat the Sox again, 5-1. Not only has Scherzer won five straight starts, but in each of them he has averaged more than one strikeout per inning and in none of them did he allow more than two runs. No other pitcher in Tigers history has won five straight starts with those accompanying statistics; and over the last 10 seasons, Scherzer is just the third major-leaguer to do it, joining Mike Mussina (in April and May of 2003) and Zack Greinke (in April and May of 2009, a streak of six such starts).
Scherzer compiled an ERA of 7.77 in April, followed by 4.04 in May, 3.86 in June, 3.62 in July and 2.25 in August. He's the only major-league qualifier this season whose ERA decreased in every calendar month from May through August--and with eight shutout innings on Saturday, he might maintain that ERA progression in the regular season's most important month.
