    Max Scherzer is feeling the pressure these days.

    The Detroit right-hander is unbeaten this year, but with every turn through the rotation, it seems at least one of his teammates is reaching a new level.

    "We feed off each other, but we've also pushed the bar so dang high," Scherzer said. "Everybody wants to try to match that."

    Scherzer struck out nine in seven innings, and Victor Martinez homered and drove in three runs to lift the Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. Miguel Cabrera had three hits for Detroit, along with his major league-leading 66th RBI.
