All players, managers, coaches and umpires will wear No. 42 on Thursday to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day, marking the anniversary of the date the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer made his Major League Baseball debut and broke the sport’s color barrier in 1947.

Scherzer will make his Nationals-record sixth opening day start April 1, facing the New York Mets in Washington. The original lineup released by Washington before the game featured a designated hitter; that was revised to include Scherzer batting for himself. DeGrom struck him out, part of his 4 2/3 scoreless innings with three hits and five Ks. YANKEES 8, BLUE JAYS 3Gerritt Cole struck out eight in five innings, allowing one run in his fourth spring start for New York.

Back in his comfort zone Friday night, the New York Mets outfielder took a starring role in a Subway Series instant classic. We all were extremely happy to just be back on the field and be back playing baseball, Smith said. Smith, a 25-year-old Black man, cried Wednesday night reflecting on a recent shooting by police of a Black man in Wisconsin. 42 for the second game only. Inspired by the emotional comments from the usually upbeat Smith, the Mets staged a walkout protest against racial injustice with the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.

Washington Nationals' Max Scherzer (31) delivers a pitch during the first inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2020, in New York. But he also looked healthy all the while a wonderful sign for the Washington Nationals. Scherzer showed no effects of hamstring trouble, navigating heavy traffic early for his first win this season, and Trea Turner hit a record-breaking leadoff homer to help Washington beat the New York Mets 2-1 on Tuesday night. Scherzer lasted six innings and threw only 45 pitches over his final four to finish with 105. The Mets hadn't announced a starter to replace Michael Wacha, who went on the injured list Sunday with shoulder inflammation.

Not for sign stealing, especially because I suspect a lot of these holier-than-thou opposing teams are going to be tugging their collars when MLB's final report comes out. Nevertheless, in 2017, Manfred warned all MLB teams not to engage in "electronic sign stealing" or face the consequences. It's as idiotic as being caught filming an opposing team's sidelines from yet *another* team's press box. That is, until he started the hashtag #cancelhouston and encouraged his Twitter followers to suggest punishments for the cheating Astros. Seeing our baseball team win its first championship barely eight weeks after we were nearly washed into the Gulf was an incredible feeling.

The Astros on Thursday traded veteran outfielder Jake Marisnick to the Mets for a pair of prospects. The move was made to clear room in an already crowded outfield for youngsters Kyle Tucker and Myles Straw, who should make the big league roster in 2020. Ideally, the Astros would like to move Josh Reddick, but his $14 million contract makes that difficult without the Astros agreeing to absorb some of that salary, so Marisnick was dealt. The Mets are hoping Marisnick will perform better at the plate if he is given more opportunities. For the Astros, it reduces their glut of outfielders and adds a couple of prospects to their already deep minor league roster.

Earlier this season Greinke had a no-hit bid earlier this season against Washington broken up in the seventh inning. Greinke was the first Houston pitcher to have a no-hitter broken up in the ninth inning since Mike Scott in 1988.

EMBED >More News Videos Astros, Angels rush to defend teammates after Marisnick hit by pitchHOUSTON, Texas -- Jake Marisnick has lost his appeal of a two-game suspension resulting from a violent home plate collision with Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy on July 7.Lucroy, who was carted off after the collision, suffered a concussion and a broken nose on the play that Marisnick later called "a split-second decision at full speed. "Joe Torre, MLB's chief baseball officer, said July 11 that he thoroughly reviewed the play from all angles. While acknowledging he didn't believe Marisnick intended to injure Lucroy, Torre said the actions warranted discipline because they violated MLB rules designed to protect catchers from that type of situation.Marisnick also was fined by Major League Baseball for the play. He will miss games against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday and Wednesday.Since the play, Marisnick has talked with Lucroy and apologized.

Marisnick was calledHOUSTON - The Houston Astros will be without outfielder Jake Marisnick for the next two games after his two-game suspension and fine were upheld, according to the Major League Baseball Players Association. Marisnick had appealed the suspension and fine when it was handed down on July 11.

The 2-game suspension & fine for #Astros Jake Marisnick (from collision w/ Angels Lucroy) have been upheld, per MLBPA. Ramirez was suspended for three games and Angels manager Brad Ausmus was suspended for one game.

Jake Marisnick has been through a tough week, but maybe he and the Astros reached a turning point Wednesday night. It was where the ball struck on the shoulder just below his head that caused the outcry. He told his team to go back in the dugout, patted Pujols on the back. When he got to the dugout, Marisnick got a long hug from Josh Reddick. It must have felt like a relief after a long, difficult week for both him and his team.

Cole struck out 11 over seven innings, Marisnick had three hits amid a chorus of boos and the Astros got back on track with an 11-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Marisnick has tried to stay above the fray though and is 5 for 7 in the past two games. After having a team meeting following Tuesday's loss, the Astros played one of their better all-around games of the season. ...

Marisnick is currently appealing his suspension.Marisnick attempted to shrug off the heavy boos that greeted his every move at Angel Stadium. I think that's a question for him, if it was intentional or not. I'm not the one throwing the baseball," Marisnick continued.Ramirez, one of the Angels' most effective relievers, repeatedly insisted the whole thing was a misunderstanding. ''Angels manager Brad Ausmus agreed with his pitcher that the high and inside pitch to Marisnick was not intentional. That's not the right way to do it, even if you're allowed to do it, which you apparently are nowadays.''

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Angels pitcher Noe Ramirez and manager Brad Ausmus were each suspended for their roles in hitting Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick during Tuesday night's game. In the sixth inning, Ramirez threw an 89 mph fastball that hit Marisnick in the upper back. Major League Baseball on Wednesday suspended Ramirez three games and Ausmus one.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - JULY 16: Jake Marisnick #6 of the Houston Astros is hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of the MLB game against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 16, 2019 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by VictorANAHEIM, Calif. - The Houston Astros expected the Angels to retaliate against Jake Marisnick in his first game versus Los Angeles since his violent home-plate collision with catcher Jonathan Lucroy. But both teams were preoccupied by the moment when Ramirez (4-1) drilled Marisnick between the shoulder blades with a 1-1 pitch in the sixth. Marisnick ran over Lucroy while trying to score in Houston nine days ago, leaving Lucroy with a concussion and a broken nose. Shortly after Ramirez hit Marisnick, a verbal confrontation broke out between Pujols and several Astros in the dugout, including Lance McCullers Jr. and Justin Verlander.

I think that's a question for him, if it was intentional or not. ''Angels manager Brad Ausmus agreed with his pitcher that the high and inside pitch to Marisnick was not intentional. If they're going to hit guys, they need to hit guys the right way. That's not right. That's not the right way to do it, even if you're allowed to do it, which you apparently are nowadays.''
