Detroit Tigers: Scherzer Strikes Out 20 to Top Tigers 3-2

Things went from bad to worse for Detroit Tigers fans on Wednesday Night.

Former Ace Max Scherzer, who infamously turned down the Tigers 6-year, $144 million dollar contract extension in 2014 after becoming one of Major League Baseballs best pitchers while with the Tigers, faced his former team for the first time since leaving for the Washington Nationals and the $210 million he ended up receiving.

What he ended up doing was making Tigers Owner Mike Illitch yet again regret that decision to try and skimp out on his 2013 Cy Young Award Winner, and struck out an MLB Record 20 batters, something that had only been done by two other pitchers in the history of the game over a 9 inning game before Wednesday Night.
