BY THE NUMBERS
98
Years since a major
league player, who
happened to be Babe
Ruth, last earned a win
on the mound, hit a
home run and played the
outfield in the same
game. Cincinnati’s
Michael Lorenzen did all
of those things
Wednesday in an 8-5 win
over the Phillies.
QUOTABLE
“30/100 is a huge
accomplishment.
As a kid, it’s
what every hitter
dreams about —
can I get to 30
and 100?”
— Gabe Kapler , Phillies
manager, after OF Bryce
Harper recorded his 100th
RBI late Tuesday night
against the Reds. Harper,
who hit his 30th home run
Monday, is the first
Philadelphia player to
reach both milestones in
the same season since
Ryan Howard in 2011.

nationalsScherzer encouraged
after his latest outingMax Scherzer wasn’t circling the
mound like he usually does. His face
wasn’t twisted into a scowl. His steps
didn’t make it seem as if he wanted to
punch holes into the Nationals Park
grass.
Not this time. In the fourth inning
of a critical start Tuesday night,
Scherzer paced toward the rubber
and flipped a fresh ball from his
glove to his right hand. He wasn’t in a
particular rush. He had just given up
a two-run homer to Joe Panik, which
punctuated a four-run inning for the
New York Mets, the biggest stain on
Scherzer’s final line.
The Washington Nationals
eventually beat the Mets, 11-10, with
the largest ninth-inning comeback in
franchise history. But what still
mattered most for the Nationals was
how Scherzer performed and then
how he felt afterward.
Scherzer was lights out for five of
his six innings, allowing no runs, no
hits and a lone walk outside the
fourth. His arm and body felt good
once all the work was through. Ye t
those four runs on five hits in the
fourth invited questions that will be
tough to untangle: Was that inning
just a regular lapse in a regular start?Or was it connected to Scherzer’s
recent injuries, the ones that have
turned his summer into a test of
patience and his ability to heal?
The 35-year-old ace didn’t express
much cause for concern.
“It was definitely a step forward. I
felt like I was able to start bringing
some intensity to the pitches,
especially getting six innings,” he
said. “There was a lot of good in this
start. In the fourth, [I] ran into kind
of a buzz saw. They were able to get
on some pitches and get a rally going.
“Obviously, there’s things I can
sharpen up as I continue to ramp up
intensity and everything follows suit.”
The Nationals need Scherzer, their
ace, at 100 percent. He has been
steadily rebuilding his workload over
the past two weeks since he returned
from the injured list. He threw
90 pitches against the Mets in his
longest outing since July 6. He felt
that this outing set him up to throw
100 pitches or even a bit more when
he faces the Braves in Atlanta on
Sunday.
“I was able to start throwing
pitches at 100 percent, start letting it
eat,” he said. “Really started throwing
some fastballs and really stepping on
some fastballs and stepping on some
off-speed pitches, as well. So for me,
that was picking up the intensity on a
per-pitch basis. It was definitely
higher tonight than it was in the past
two starts.”
