Not lost in the career-high 40th home run by American League batting leader Miguel Cabrera, a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth to highlight the team's 12-2 win, was the injury to Max Scherzer, who left the game in the bottom of the second inning after 44 pitches.

 

Scherzer, the American League leader in strikeouts with 224, had an MRI during the game for right shoulder fatigue. The team announced that the MRI showed no structural damage and Scherzer would not throw for two days before being re-evaluated.

 

"I noticed it in the first inning, but I didn't have any pain in my shoulder," Scherzer said. "My arm was dead. I was able to finish the first inning. I went out for the second inning and my arm felt good, at least to start the inning. By the end of the inning the pain in the (Coco) Crisp at-bat -- I really ran out of steam. My arm wasn't healthy enough to keep going. I felt weakness in my delt (deltoid)."

 

If Scherzer, arguably the team's best pitcher the last month, should have to miss a start, left-hander Drew Smyly would likely be the substitute starter.

 

"The MRI was fine. You could see the inflammation in the deltoid, so it's treating it and trying to get the inflammation out," Scherzer said. "I might be able to make my next start."

I think the medical term you're looking for is acute maturbatitis.

With the way Leyland rides him and Verlander, this doesn't shock me.

It all depends on technique.

Noticed that Scherzer has one blue eye and one brown eye. Never saw that before.

Stone usually brings it up every time he starts

And then Hawk says he looks like a young Max Patkin, the "Clown Prince of Baseball" and they throw up images to make a comparison.

 

Or he just does that because they're both named Max.

A very groovy mutation.

You should look at more Mila Kunis

That movie is so underrated - better than The Avengers.
