Max Scherzer certainly earned this high-five and hug from catcher Wilson Ramos after becoming the fourth pitcher to strike out 20 batters in a nine-inning game.

2. Cold shower for Scherzer
When do you not mind having buckets of ice-cold Gatorade dumped over your head? When you've just made baseball history.

3. Thor's hammer
Hitting two home runs in a Major League game is impressive. Doing so when you happen to be a pitcher is on another level. The Mets' Noah Syndergaard showed the guys on the mound can rake, too.
