Max Scherzer struck out 10 batters against the Orioles on Monday night, improving to 10-0 in the process.
Scherzer 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.
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.
"He's at the top of his game pretty much," Jim Leyland said.
