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.

Did Max Scherzer really punch Blue Jays teammate Eric Lauer after Thursday's win over Detroit? Here's the truth.

Scherzer (1-1) yielded three runs on three hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out 11 and taking a loss against Detroit. Scherzer had one hiccup in the outing, and it resulted in a three-run shot by Gleyber Torres in the third inning.

Toronto Blue Jays lefthander Eric Lauer continued his breakout campaign, pitching eight innings of one-run ball to help power his club to an 11-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. And he did it while pitching with a fat lip.

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 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.
