Max Scherzer gives his take on Alejandro Kirk's first stolen base and the heartwarming gesture from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. afterward

Having played for a total of seven franchises so far and won pretty much every award there is to win, Max Scherzer has seen it all at the big league level. On August 15, Scherzer experienced another unique moment, as teammate Alejandro Kirk stole a base for the first time in his career.

Appearing on Tuesday's episode of "Blue Jays Today", Scherzer shared his feelings about Kirk's memorable moment. Further, the 41-year-old starter commended superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s sweet gesture towards his teammate soon after.

"That was unbelievable. Not only that, but for Vladdy to have the wherewithal after the game to grab the base and go give it to him. That moment was all-time. We watched him go through the high-five line with a base."

"After a comeback win as well. I think that's the story of our season right now. Anything can happen, and even [Alejandro] Kirk can steal a base," Max Scherzer said [15:34]

In addition to the famous stolen base, Alejandro Kirk played an instrumental role in helping the Blue Jays come from behind to beat the Texas Rangers 6-5 on Friday. Enjoying a monster night at the plate, Kirk ended the night with a home run and four RBIs to his name.
