Max Scherzer maintained his perfect start to the season by securing a 10th straight victory in pitching the Detroit Tigers to a 5-1 triumph against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday.
Scherzer blew through the Orioles lineup with 10 strikeouts, allowing one run in six innings, as he drew level with St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright (10-3) on 10 wins for the campaign.
He is, however, the first starter to open a season 10-0 since Roger Clemens completed the feat for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1997. Clemens added one more victory to that tally before losing his first decision of the season against Seattle.
