DETROIT -- Artie Lewicki doesn't pitch like former Tiger Max Scherzer, but he sounds like him. He might think through a game a little like him, too.
As Lewicki discussed his Major League debut and his challenges in the Tigers' 7-6 loss to the Royals on Monday, it sounded like Scherzer was back in the home clubhouse at Comerica Park -- analytical, competitive and a bit perfectionist, all with a bit of pace in his speech.
"I feel like I'm definitely more than capable of going out there and giving quality outings," the University of Virginia product said after five runs over as many innings.
