DETROIT - Max Scherzer has shrugged off the significance of his undefeated start, saying records are fluky statistics for pitchers and that hes simply playing for a good team. When the Detroit Tigers right-hander found out he is the first to accomplish a couple feats since Rogers Clemens and Pedro Martinez, though, it knocked Scherzer off his humble script. "That tickles me when you say those type of names," he said. Scherzer improved to 10-0 and struck out 10, Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Detroit beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Monday night. He became the first pitcher to begin a season 10-0 — with all decisions coming in starts — since Clemens went 11-0 for Toronto in 1997, according to STATS. And Scherzer is the first to have at least six strikeouts in his first 14 starts in a season since Martinez did it in 2001 with Boston, STATS said. "Hes at the top of his game pretty much," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. Scherzer allowed one run and seven hits in six innings. Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 24th homer in the second, but struck out with the bases loaded in the fifth and the Orioles down by two runs. "He was just coming after me," Davis said. "Of course, when youre throwing 96, 97, 98, that helps." Jake Arrieta (1-2) allowed five hits on 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings, and was sent to Triple-A Norfolk after the game with a 7.23 ERA. "Stuff has never been an issue with Jake, its just command," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. With two on and none out in the fifth, Arrieta struck out Cabrera on a wild pitch that allowed two runners to get into scoring position. Victor Martinez hit a sacrifice fly and Jhonny Peraltas RBI single to give Detroit a four-run cushion in the fifth, chasing Arrieta. Scherzers start ended after finishing off the sixth inning with two strikeouts, giving him at least 10 in a game for the fifth time this year. Scherzer lowered his ERA to 3.08 this season for the AL Central leaders. He is the second pitcher in Detroit history to start this strong since 1909, when George Mullin was 11-0 with one victory as a reliever, the Elias Sports Bureau said in information provided by the Tigers. Drew Smyly followed with three hitless innings for his second save. "We got (Scherzers) pitch count up and got him out of there," Showalter said. "But Smyly is a good one, you can see why theyre so high on him." Detroit began the game leading baseball with an average of 5.72 runs per game at home and almost scored that much through five innings. Austin Jackson led off with a single and scored on Cabreras seemingly effortless swing, an opposite-field drive that cleared a high wall in right-centre for his 19th homer to make it 2-0. "I watched the replay on video a couple times and by his swing, you think it might be a fly ball to right field," Arrieta said. "But with the strength he has in his swing, a swing like that on that ball ends up in the seats." NOTES: Detroit put RHP Anibal Sanchez (shoulder) and C Alex Avila (left forearm) on the 15-day DL and recalled OF Avisail Garcia and C Bryan Holaday from Triple-A Toledo to take their roster spots. The Tigers plan to call up LHP Jose Alvarez to start in place of Sanchez on Thursday at home against the Boston Red Sox. ... The Orioles are planning to start LHP Zach Britton in place of ailing RHP Jason Hammel on Tuesday night against Detroit and RHP Justin Verlander. ... Orioles Miguel Gonzalez left the team Monday to be with his wife, who is expecting their first child, but Showalter said the team might not put him on paternity leave. Ray Nitschke Packers Jersey .

Quarterback Darell Garretson already has something that Oregon State lacked at the position at this point last season: Experience.The transfer from Utah State who sat out last season will lead the Beavers when they visit Minnesota on Thursday night. Dont expect him to be rattled under the lights on national television, coach Gary Andersen said.Hell be in the moment. He loves football. He loves the games. Thats what he works so hard for, Andersen said. And I think that -- I hope that -- it will be a calming feeling for some of the younger players who may be in the position to have a little more nerves than youd want them to have.Freshman Seth Collins, as well as redshirt freshmen Marcus McMaryion and Nick Mitchell, all saw time at starter for the Beavers last season. None of them had played a snap in a college game.Mitchell has since transferred. Collins announced that he was leaving, too, but then returned to Oregon State and will play at receiver this season. McMaryion remains, and looks to be Garretsons backup heading into this season.The Beavers finished 2-10 last season, not entirely unexpected after the teams overhaul in Andersens first year after Mike Riley departed for Nebraska.A year ago right now the quarterback situation was just so experienced that kids hadnt been in that spot, Andersen said. To have Darrell, the position hes in, where hes been in big games. Hes played in big venues on the road. Hes one of the quarterbacks who has gone in and beaten BYU at their stadium. Thats hard to do. Not a lot of QBs have success there.Garretson passed for 2,586 yards and 18 touchdowns in two seasons at Utah State before he transferred to Oregon State in June 2015.He was requiired to sit out a season under NCAA rules but that gave him time to study the Beavers offense that was installed under then-first-year coach Andersen.ddddddddddddThe redshirt year was hard, but I got to work on a lot of stuff, got to work on certain things you normally wouldnt be able to work on during the season. The year off was beneficial, for sure, he said at the start of fall camp.Garretson emerged in the Beavers spring game and Andersen named him the starter shortly thereafter, clearly defining his role going into fall camp.Its a good feeling to have a guy thats been in the moment, Andersen said. And like Ive said, theres nothing like reps. Theres nothing like game reps, theres nothing like practice reps to get you in a position to go. This team has definitely accepted him as the quarterback and their leader. Im excited to see him play. Hes produced pretty well when hes been in there and hell have high expectations of himself, no doubt.The Gophers went 5-7 last season before beating Central Michigan 21-14 in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit. Minnesota earned a bowl berth because there werent enough eligible FBS teams to fill the spots.That season was marked by the departure of coach Jerry Kill because of health reasons. Tracy Claeys, an assistant under Kill for 21 years, took over as head coach.Minnesota will be led by fifth-year senior quarterback Mitch Leidner, who threw for 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while running for six more scores last season -- despite struggling with a foot injury that required surgery following the bowl game.
