WASHINGTON (AP) â With a bottle of bubbly at his feet and a baseball with the inscription â300 Ksâ in a case in his locker Joey Gallo Jersey , Max Scherzer allowed himself a moment to consider what heâd just accomplished.âIt was something I dreamed of, reaching this mark,â Scherzer said, âbecause I know how hard it is to consistently go out there and strike guys out.âScherzer became the 17th pitcher since 1900 to strike out 300 batters in a season, reaching that milestone by fanning 10 in seven innings Tuesday night during the Washington Nationalsâ otherwise meaningless 9-4 victory over the Miami Marlins.âA big number,â Nationals catcher Matt Wieters said, âwhen youâre talking about strikeouts.âScherzer (18-7) lowered his ERA to 2.53 by allowing one run in seven innings as he bids for a third consecutive NL Cy Young Award; he also won the 2013 honor in the AL for Detroit. He threw 70 of his 100 pitches for strikes, gave up five hits and didnât walk a batter.The righty reached 300 by getting Austin Dean to whiff on an 85-mph slider at the end of a 10-pitch at-bat for the second out of the seventh. Scherzer pumped his fist while much of the announced crowd of 26,483 â including his wife, Erica May-Scherzer â joined players in the home dugout and home bullpen by saluting the ace with a standing ovation.âI definitely wanted to do it here at home,â said the 34-year-old Scherzer, who is currently slated to make one more start, in Sundayâs season finale at Colorado. âThe fans â unbelievable support.âThey would chant, âLetâs go, Max!â They would rise and cheer when he had two strikes on a hitter. They would emit a collective âAwwwwwwwâ when a pitch near the plate was ruled a ball â or even when a pitch resulted in any sort of out that wouldnât add to his strikeout total.Sweating profusely on a muggy, 78-degree evening, Scherzer had all of his repertoire working, from the 97-mph fastballs he threw past Lewis Brinson for strikeouts in the fourth and seventh innings http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-nomar-m...ara-jer sey , to the 84-mph changeup that JT Riddle missed for a K leading off the game.As is Scherzerâs wont, he stalked around the grass after strikeouts.Asked whether he considered pulling his famously intense pitcher before No. 300, Nationals manager Dave Martinez laughed.âI value my life,â Martinez joked. âHe was going to get 10 today, somehow.âScherzer now has 10 strikeouts or more in a majors-high 18 of his 33 starts in 2018, and 82 such games for his career.He got Dean by throwing fastball after fastball with a full count, then getting him to chase a slider.âThatâs probably where you can see Max has become a more complete pitcher than he was earlier in his career,â Wieters said, âwhere he was able to go with the slider and execute it and realize that with where that fastball was starting, (Dean is) going to be way out in front of it.âDeanâs take?âHeâs the best pitcher in baseball,â the Marlins rookie said.The case certainly can be made. This is, after all, a guy with two no-hitters and a 20-strikeout game on his resume, along with the Cy Youngs.Scherzer entered Tuesday ranked No. 1 in the NL in eight significant statistical categories, including strikeouts, strikeouts-to-walks ratio (5.69), opponentsâ batting average (.188) and innings pitched (213 2/3). He was also tied for No. 1 in two others: wins and quality starts (27).The expectation is that Scherzer and New York Mets starter Jacob deGrom are the main Cy Young contenders in the NL. DeGrom is 9-9 with a 1.77 ERA and single-season records of 23 consecutive quality starts and 28 starts in a row allowing three or fewer earned runs.âThereâs more to pitching than just striking guys out,â Scherzer said Ferguson Jenkins Jersey , âbut also, it is a big reason why you can have success.âRENDON AND HARPERNationals 3B Anthony Rendon hit a three-run shot in the first inning off Jeff Brigham (0-4), increasing his season totals to 24 homers and 90 RBIs and extending his streak of reaching base to 33 straight games. Rendon added an RBI double in the seventh, when Washington batted around and tacked on six runs. ⦠Bryce Harper scored twice to surpass 100 runs for the season; he already had a career-best 100 RBIs and more than 100 walks. Harper can become a free agent in the offseason, so Wednesdayâs series finale could be the 2015 NL MVPâs last home game at Nationals Park.UP NEXTThe Nationals will give 26-year-old RHP Kyle McGowin his first start in the majors Wednesday. Miami will start LHP Wei-Yin Chen (6-11, 4.66 ERA). DENVER â After flourishing during a demanding portion of the schedule, the Colorado Rockies have their sights trained on October but canât look past the lowly San Diego Padres in a three-game series that starts Tuesday.Left-handers Tyler Anderson (6-5, 4.39 ERA) of the Rockies and Robbie Erlin (2-3, 3.33) of the Padres will oppose each other in the opener.The Rockies (68-56) are coming off a 5-1 road trip that concluded with their first four-game sweep in Atlanta in franchise history and gave them eight wins in their past nine games.Article continues below ...The series with the Braves also ended the Rockiesâ National League-record tying stretch of 46 consecutive games against teams with a winning record. The 1926 Philadelphia Phillies went 15-31, and the 2012 Braves went 22-24 in similar stretches. The Rockies were 30-16, a spree that enabled them to go from 6 1/2 games behind to a half game back in the NL West. The Rockies are the only team in the NL West never to have won the division.Coloradoâs surge coincides with remarks that third baseman Nolan Arenado made to The Athletic in late June. Speaking for himself and his teammates, Arenado said, âIâm tired of coming to the ballpark and losing. We work too hard as a group to experience that. Iâm not saying I go home questioning, like, âI donât like this place.â I love it here. But yeah, I want to win. And the more we lose, the more I â if you lose all the time, nobody wants to be there.âAfter the Rockiesâ win Sunday that completed their four-game sweep in Atlanta http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-jason-g...lli-jer sey , Arenado dismissed the notion that anything he said factored into the teamâs subsequent success.âTalking doesnât get it done. Itâs the way the guys are playing,â Arenado told reporters. âEverybodyâs contributing â the starting pitching, the bullpen, the defense, the offense. I think the offense can probably do a little bit better job, but weâre finding a way. And our pitchers are keeping us in games.âAnderson gave up a career-high nine runs in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in Houston and lost 12-1. He has gone seven straight starts without a win and is 0-2 with a 5.67 ERA in that stretch. But he has a 1.35 ERA in his past five home games.Anderson is 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA in three starts against the Padres this year and 2-1 with a 2.27 ERA in six career starts against them.Erlin is 1-0 with a 2.81 ERA in three starts since going into the Padresâ rotation. He received a no-decision Wednesday in San Diegoâs 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, allowing two runs in six innings. Erlin is 3-2 with a 6.18 ERA in 11 games (four starts) against the Rockies and 3-1 with 7.88 ERA in seven games (two starts) at Coors Field.The Padres (49-78) have the worst record in the NL and third worst in the majors. They concluded a 3-7 homestand Sunday and have played better on the road (26-35) than at home (23-43). They are 12-30 since July 1 and havenât had a three-game winning streak since June 2-4.The Rockies and Padres last played May 15, and since then the Padresâ bullpen has undergone immense change. Right-handers Robert Stock, Trey Wingenter and Miguel Diaz and left-hander Jose Castillo are now in the San Diego relief corps and all can reach the high 90s.âItâs nice when we can throw a fastball behind in the count and say, âHere you go, hit it,'â Padres catcher Austin Hedges told MLB.com. âI donât care who you are, if know a fastballâs coming, itâs still not easy to hit a 98 mph fastball. It definitely gives us more to work with.âItâs different. A lot of guys weâve had the last couple years have been more off-speed stuff, command guys. Theyâve got to pitch a little bit more. These guys maybe donât have to pitch as much. Itâs just, âHereâs my best stuff.â When you execute that around the zone, you get a lot of strikeouts.â
