My guy is still going strong!

Max ScherzerThe Texas Rangers' ace starting pitcher made his season debut on Sunday and was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did the veteran make a spectacular return, but he also made some incredible history in the process.

In a game against the Kansas City Royals Three-time Cy Young Award winner He allowed just one hit over five innings, throwing a total of 57 pitches and striking out four. Additionally, the 39-year-old also pitched five no-hitter innings. (Related article: Mets' Edwin Diaz ejected before game begins for excessive possession of adhesive substance)

Scherzer's stellar performance led the Rangers to 4-0 shutout victoryand it also became his own record.

Mad Max struck out four batters, tying him with the legendary Greg Maddux for 11th-most strikeouts in major league history with 3,371.

I'm happy for Max Scherzer, but as an Atlanta Braves fan, it's a little bittersweet to see him surpass Greg Maddux.

He was one of our GOATs!

Plus, my latest bet is for the Rangers to completely fail (on the offensive side)…

I'm just saying (LOL).
