Gratitude for another Max performance
Scherzer K's 9 Phillies in 4-2 win. He now has more strikeouts than any other active pitcher in the game.
Max Scherzer now has 3,241 career strikeouts.
Think about that.
While watching Scherzer strike out nine Philadelphia Phillies today, it struck me how rare that statistic is. Scherzer and teammate Justin Verlander are No. 1 and No. 2 among active pitchers on the all-time strikeout list and the only two active pitchers to have 3,000+ strikeouts.
