FACTS/FLUKES: Scherzer, Corbin, Suarez, T. d'Arnaud, Gyorko

Scherzer keeps mowing them down ... Max Scherzer (RHP, WAS) continues to rack up the strikeouts, as he's amassed a major league leading 181 of them through 21 starts. Oddly enough, he's served up 22 home runs, tops in the National League. Is there any reason for concern?
