David Wright Goes to Bat for the First Time in Over Two Years

David Wright’s stomach churned so much Friday night as he waited for his chance to hit, he braced for the worst: an on-deck-circle puking.

It was the bottom of the fifth inning at Citi Field, and Wright was receiving a standing ovation as he prepared for his first major-league at-bat in 28 months. This was the same kind of ovation he had received an inning earlier when he initially appeared on deck.

“I really felt butterflies that I had never felt before,” Wright said after the Mets’ 8-1 loss to the Marlins. “I think I was pretty close to throwing up on deck. I know I dropped my bat, and I never just let the bat fly. I had to walk a couple of steps to pick the bat back up.”

Max Scherzer Reaches 300 Ks, 18 Wins

WASHINGTON -- The crowd at Nationals Park hung on every pitch as they sensed it was near, clapping and chanting along, "Let's go, Max! Let's go, Max!" On the mound, Max Scherzer was as focused as ever on pitching himself into the record books once again. He was locked in a 10-pitch battle with Marlins outfielder Austin Dean as he channeled the energy from the crowd and the moment to fire fastballs in the upper 90s.

After Dean fouled off four straight pitches in the seventh inning of the Nationals' 9-4 victory over the Marlins, Scherzer threw one of his nastiest sliders of the night to record his 300th strikeout in the season. Scherzer became just the sixth pitcher since 1990 to record 300 strikeouts in a single season, joining Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale.

After reaching the 300-strikeout plateau, Scherzer was showered with a standing ovation not only by the crowd of 26,483 fans in attendance, but by the entire Nats dugout and bullpen. He received a bottle of champagne, which he was still carrying around after the game and drinking straight from the bottle to celebrate his latest achievement.

Sean Newcomb pitched six scoreless innings and Ender Inciarte slugged a two-run homer as the Atlanta Braves held on to beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park.

Miami had just one hit -- a double by Brian Anderson -- entering the ninth. But after singles by Starlin Castro and J.B. Shuck, Justin Bour hit his third pinch-hit homer of the season, cutting Atlanta's lead to 4-3.

Braves reliever Jesse Biddle allowed the two singles before making way for Arodys Vizcaino, who gave up the upper-deck homer by Bour. However, Vizcaino retired Miami's final three batters to pick up his seventh save of the season.
