Stupid Humbug Stat Tricks - 'Scherzer nice way to start a career' edition

Diamondbacks pitching prospect Max Scherzer made his major league debut last night, relieving in the third inning of Arizona's 6-4 loss to the Astros. He retired all 13 batters to face him, seven by strikeout.

Going back to 1956, Scherzer's debut outing is the longest without allowing a baserunner. Here is the list of those retiring at least seven batters:

What, more reasons to believe that Arizona has great young talent, even ones they didn't trade away for Dan Haren?

Happy Monday...
