Mizzou Baseball in the Majors

■ Kudos to St. Louisan Max Scherzer (stltoday.com)

He's rolling for the Detroit Tigers. After going to the minors for a couple of weeks in May to sharpen his mechanics, Scherzer has been outstanding, going 7-5 with a 2.35 ERA, and 100 strikeouts in 95 innings. In his most recent start, Monday, Scherzer pitched shutout innings to beat the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. His parents were there to see it. Great stuff.
