Former Prospect Tim Clubb Named MVC Pitcher of the Week Again

Scherzer Sets Team Record In Debut

PHOENIX -- The Houston Astros got six runs in a hurry, just in time before Arizona's young Max Scherzer made a perfect major league pitching debut.

Geoff Blum doubled in three runs and the Astros handed the Diamondbacks only their third home loss in 13 games his season, 6-4 on Tuesday night.

The hard-throwing Scherzer, Arizona's 2006 first-round draft pick out of the University of Missouri and Parkway Central High, relieved Diamondbacks starter Edgar Gonzalez in the third.

Scherzer retired all 13 batters he faced, seven by strikeout, with a fastball that reached 98 mph on the Chase Field radar gun.

It was the most strikeouts ever by an Arizona pitcher in his first big-league game.

"I was so anxious to get out there, so prepared to finally make my major league debut," he said. "I'm just happy to go out there and get it out of the way. I felt comfortable out there, not nervous at all. I just tried to go out there and do my thing."


Houston manager Cecil Cooper was impressed.

"You've got a guy throwing 98 and he had a nice slider to go with it," Cooper said. "He kept the ball down, and when he needed that extra he went and got it. That's a pretty good arm there. I'm just glad we got six and didn't need any more."

Arizona manager Bob Melvin brushed off questions about whether Scherzer would join the rotation.

"We'll take a look at it later," Melvin said.

Scherzer was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2006 major-league draft.

In 23 innings with Triple-A Tucson this season before his call-up, Scherzer struck out 38 and walked three, allowing three earned runs.
