WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals media relations staff put out a list on paper this past week of Max Scherzers accolades this year in effort to drum up support for a possible National League Cy Young Award.It was a long list.The right-handed starter, who won the Cy Young with the Detroit Tigers in 2013, will aim for his 20th win of the season on Sunday in the regular-season finale against the Miami Marlins. He has struck out at least 10 batters in a game 13 times this season and leads the NL in strikeouts with 277.The St. Louis native fanned 20 batters on May 11 against the Detroit Tigers and nine times in the last two years he has taken a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He got his 19th win on Tuesday when he beat the Arizona Diamondbacks.Thats what were playing for, Scherzer said of the home-field edge, which the Nationals wrapped up Saturday. I know the 19 wins, yada, yada yada, but the most important thing is the team wins. Would love to have Game 5 here at Nationals Park facing the Dodgers. In a short series, home-field advantage matters.But Scherzer has a penchant for giving up homers -- he has allowed 29 -- and several Marlins have gone deep against him.Justin Bour is hitting .190 in 21 at-bats against him with a homer. Dee Gordon is batting .292 in 24 trips with one homer. Outfielder Christian Yelich, closing in on 100 RBI for the season, is hitting .333 with two homers in 15 at-bats against Scherzer. Marcell Ozuna has two homers against the pitcher in 19 at-bats and is hitting .263.Scherzer will aim to be one of the few pitchers to get his 20th win on the final day of the season. One pitcher who did that was Scott McGregor, who won his 20th on the last day of the 1980 season for the Baltimore Orioles against the Cleveland Indians.On the last regular-season game for the Nationals in 2014, Jordan Zimmerman threw the first no-hitter in franchise history, against the same Marlins. Yelich made the last out of the game as his liner was caught in left center by Steven Souza Jr., then the Washington left fielder.Scherzer is 19-7 with a 2.82 ERA this season for the Nationals. He will also be making a tuneup for Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 7 against the Dodgers, though Washington -- as is custom -- had not made an official announcement for its rotation.The Dodgers have announced their first three starters will be Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda.Washington secured the home-field edge in the NLDS as the Dodgers lost Saturday and Washington won 2-1 over Miami.I feel great any time you get home-field advantage, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. You get the first two games here and it could be very important. Its not necessary, but Id rather have it here than to travel out there.The Marlins starter will be right-hander Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.15 ERA), who is no stranger to the Nationals. He is 4-8 with a 4.18 ERA in 13 career starts against Washington, including 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA in four starts this year.Bryce Harper has owned Koehler, with an average of .367 against him with an amazing six homers in just 30 at-bats. Ben Revere has also done well against the Stony Brook product, with an average of .440 in 25 trips.Koehler was part of a rotation that included Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident Sept. 25. They spoke about fatherhood just days before the pitcher died.That was the last time we talked, Koehler told a Florida paper. He was wishing me luck and excited about my daughter being born, not because he had to. He didnt have to come up. He truly cared about it. That was something special. Alex Delvecchio Jersey .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- White Sox closer David Robertsons sixth blown save in the 11th inning cost Chicago a victory a few innings later.Lorenzo Cains two-out single in the 14th inning scored Christian Colon from second base, and the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox 3-2 on Wednesday night.Tim Anderson delivered a run-producing single with two outs in the 11th to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead, but Robertson failed to hold it.Ive got to be better, Robertson said. Ive got to be able to pick these guys up and end the ballgame. Its what we need.Robertson, who has blown saves in the first two games of the series and has a 15.43 ERA this season against the Royals, walked Hosmer to lead off the bottom of the 11th. Dyson sacrificed him to second and Salvador Perezs double scored Hosmer.Its frustrating, Robertson said. Guys did a great job of coming back there, in the 11th inning, and then I just, I came in and I screwed it all up. I really needed to get it done right there.I didnt make enough pitches. I left balls over the plate. When you walk the leadoff guy, hes going to score. Im frustrated with myself. More frustrated that I let the team down. We really needed this one. We all needed it. Ive got to be better.Anderson, who had struck out four times, hit a soft liner over the head of first baseman Eric Hosmer to score Todd Frazier.Colon opened the 14th with a single and Paulo Orlando sacrificed him to second. Cain laced a single to center to score Colon, ending the 4-hour, 34-minute game, the longest by the Royals this season.Dillon Gee (4-5), the eighth Kansas City pitcher, struck out three in two perfect innings to pick up the victory. Matt Albers (2-5) was charged with the loss.Jarrod Dyson led off the 13th inning with a triple, but the Royals failed to get him home. Dan Jennings struck out the next three batters: Drew Butera, Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar.After the triple, it seemed like Jennings reached back and got a little something extra, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Hopefully we could have gotten a little momentum out of that.But it took another inning. Fourteen pitchers combined to throw 424 pitches. There were 25 hits and 25 runners stranded.White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana limited the Royals to four hits and one run over 7 1/3 innings.ddddddddddddHe was pulled after Orlandos double in the eighth inning. Nate Jones replaced him and on his first pitch yielded an RBI double to Cheslor Cuthbert. It was Jones seventh blown save of the season.Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy, who has a 0.93 ERA in his past three starts, held the White Sox to one run and six hits over 6 1/3 innings. Kennedy is 0-3 with five no-decisions since a June 26 victory over Houston.The Royals have scored a total of nine runs while Kennedy was on the mound in his past eight starts.J.D. Shuck, who hit .083 over his previous eight games, homered on a 2-0 pitch in the third, the only run Kennedy allowed. That was the White Sox only extra-base hit along with 12 singles.Orlando had two outfield assists. He threw out Omar Narvaez at the plate in the seventh when he attempted to score from second on Shucks single to center. In the ninth, pinch-runner Carlos Sanchez tried to take second on Tyler Saladinos fly out to deep right-center, but Orlando threw him out.QUICK EJECTIONWhite Sox pitching Don Cooper was ejected by plate umpire Pat Hoberg five pitches into the bottom of the first inning for arguing balls and strikes.HAWK ABSENTKen Harrelson, who is in his 32nd season in the White Sox television booth, will miss all six games of this Kansas City and Miami road trip due to illness.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: INF Brett Lawrie (strained left hamstring) has resumed swinging a bat. He looks much better from where he was, Ventura said. Its another step in the right direction for him, but, we dont know exactly how thats going to go.Royals: LHP Mike Minor, who has not pitched in the majors since Sept. 23, 2014, with the Braves and had surgery in 2015 to repair a torn labrum, is rehabbing with Triple-A Omaha. He likely will not rejoin the Royals until September, when the hope is he could make some starts.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP Miguel Gonzalez is 0-1 with a 3.65 ERA in two starts this season against the Royals.Royals: LHP Danny Duffy is 4-0 with a 3.67 ERA in nine home starts this season.
