Scherzer Burned By KC Second Time Around
The second time around for Max Scherzer against the Royals was not kind, as the righty yielded an RBI double to Billy Butler and a two-run homer to Jose Guillen in a 10-5 Tigers loss Monday afternoon at Comerica Park.
The loss ended the Tigers' four-game winning streak and halted what had been Detroit's best start to a season since 1985.
Both Scherzer (0-1) and Royals starter Luke Hochevar picked up no-decisions in their previous matchup last Wednesday in Kansas City, neither of them allowing a run during their outings in a game that went into extra innings. Scherzer admitted Monday that he has had problems in his young career when facing the same team in back-to-back starts, with the second matchup almost always rougher than the first.
