Scherzer Wins 10th Game As Tigers Topple Jays
Max Scherzer doesn't feel any different on the mound.
His manager and teammates see an air of confidence in the Detroit right-hander, one that's turned him into a consistent winner.
Jhonny Peralta and Gerald Laird each homered, Scherzer became a 10-game winner for the first time and the Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 Thursday.
Scherzer (10-9) gave up six hits in eight innings. He walked one and struck out eight.
"You can see him on the mound, he has a mound presence that is saying 'Hey, I'm doing pretty good and I feel pretty good about myself,"' Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "You'd be a fool if you can't see that."
Third baseman Brandon Inge has noticed the change in Scherzer.
