Max Scherzer's dog got way too excited about his 20-strikeout game

Max Scherzer tied the MLB record with 20 strikeouts against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night, and afterward he said it hadn't sunk it yet. But when it did, he said, it really would be something, because he knows the elite company he joined.

Apparently, so does Scherzer's dog, who got way too excited about it all.

So that was an exciting game...looks like the dogs even started the celebration early! #Surreal #Natitude pic.twitter.com/CUeR49idD9

Scherzer's wife, Erica, was just as proud but much less messy.

The Detroit Tigers, meanwhile, must feel more like this.
