When Toronto Blue Jays starter Eric Lauer appeared with a busted lip before cameras last week, none were to surprised when he accused teammate Max Scherzer of giving him “six stitches” for messing with him on his start day. The unwritten rule stands across the game: DO NOT talk to the starting pitcher on his start day.

The Toronto Blue Jays are rolling, and they're keeping things light by pranking the media at the expense of Max Scherzer.

Max Scherzer had one of his best outings of the season Sunday against the Tigers, notching 11 strikeouts in 7.0 innings before the Blue Jays' bullpen collapsed.

Max Scherzer broke his silence on Eric Lauer's explanation for having a fat lip when appearing in front of the media a couple of days ago.

Scherzer spoke out on Friday in defense of Marco Rocco, a 12-year-old Little League player in New Jersey. A judge recently lifted a suspension against Rocco, who was suspended earlier this week for flipping his bat in celebration.

The Blue Jays won the opening game 4-1 behind a four-run fifth inning to extend its home winning streak to 11 games and five consecutive over the Yankees. New York is now 2-4 over the last six games, while Toronto has won four straight out the break.
