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.

Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer off ex-Tiger Max Scherzer and the Tigers beat the Blue Jays, 10-4, to snap a 6-game skid.

Featured in this week’s MLB Power Rankings, the Blue Jays keep on rising, Aaron Judge is hurting, the Tigers are slipping, the Mariners make the first big move before the trade deadline, Emmanuel Clase is probably not on the trade block anymore, rookie slugger Nick Kurtz has perhaps the best game by a hitter in MLB history, and much more:

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.

Max Scherzer will celebrate his 41st birthday Sunday, on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays, facing the Tigers at Comerica Park.
