A look at what’s happening around the majors today:BRONX
BOMBERSThe New York Yankees take aim at baseball’s single-season home run
record
Jake
Marisnick Jersey , a day after tying the mark of 264 set by the 1997
Seattle Mariners. The Yankees connected four times Friday night in Boston, with
Aaron Judge hitting the homer that matched a Mariners club that included Ken
Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Jay Buhner and Edgar Martinez.The Yankees are the
only franchise with more than 15,000 home runs, nearly 1,400 more than the
second-place Giants, according to baseball-reference.com. They can add to their
total and set the record at Fenway Park when they face ex-Yankees starter Nathan
Eovaldi.OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAINDavid Wright will start at third base for the New
York Mets against Miami in his farewell game before a sellout crowd at Citi
Field. “It’s going to be a sleepless night, I know
that
Joe
Jimenez Jersey ,” Wright said Friday. “I’m just trying to enjoy it, but
tomorrow is going to be surreal for me.” Longtime teammate and friend Jose
Reyes, perhaps also nearing the end of his career, will play shortstop alongside
Wright. “I think he’s hitting leadoff and I’m hitting third. It’s like
Old-Timers’ day around here, so it’ll be nice,” Wright said. “It’s going to
bring back obviously a lot of memories.”The Mets captain finally made it back
into a major league game Friday night, grounding out in his first plate
appearance in nearly 2½ years as New York lost 8-1 to the Marlins. Unable to
overcome all the injuries, the 35-year-old Wright said he expects this weekend
to mark his final appearance in the big leagues.GETTING CLOSEKris Bryant and the
Cubs can clinch their third consecutive NL Central crown — and home-field
advantage throughout the NL playoffs — with a win over St. Louis and a Milwaukee
loss to Detroit. Chicago, with a one-game lead in the division, sends
left-hander Cole Hamels to the mound at Wrigley Field. Miles Mikolas
(17-4

2.94 ERA) looks to win his fifth straight start for the Cardinals, clinging to
fading wild-card hopes following four losses in a row. “Clearly the back is
completely against the wall,” St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said.Up in
Milwaukee, left-hander Wade Miley (5-2) tries to pitch the Brewers to their
sixth consecutive victory. Both the Cubs and Brewers are assured at least a wild
card.MOUNTAIN WESTThe Rockies try to move closer to clinching their first NL
West championship when they host Washington. Colorado locked up at least a wild
card Friday night by beating the Nationals at Coors Field for their eighth
straight win. They hold a one-game edge over the Dodgers for the division lead —
Los Angeles is two games ahead of St. Louis for the second NL wild card with two
to play. David Dahl homered for the fifth game in a row to extend the Rockies’
winning streak. Next, Jon Gray (12-8, 4.91 ERA) starts for Colorado vs. Stephen
Strasburg (9-7, 3.77). Health permitting, L贸pez is a true building block for
Miami’s pitching staff."WhiteFanposts Sections News &

L贸pezSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsNot too many people smile more than Marlins
pitcher Pablo L贸pez. He is one of the brightest young faces in the organization,
and that enthusiasm for the game is one reason why he has already emerged as a
huge fan favorite entering his age-23 season.How did he get here? Traded from
Mariners to Marlins on Jul.

going through his fair share of struggles which is to be expected from a young
pitcher. His year also ended early, as he was placed on the disabled list in
September with a right shoulder strain.However, L贸pez did have plenty of
promising moments that left fans and the Marlins front office alike excited for
the future of the young Venezuelan.Not only is L贸pez a promising young pitcher,
but he prides himself on hitting as well. Don’t be fooled by the 3-for-16
(.188)—Don Mattingly thought highly enough of his approach to use the lefty bat
off the bench as a pinch-hitter...twice! I would look forward to more good
at-bats from him along with his continued improvement on the mound.Steve
Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsPablo was a fast riser through the upper levels of the
minors, forcing his way into the Marlins rotation plans with a 12-start stretch
of dominance at Jacksonville and New Orleans to kick off last season. There will
be growing pains as his young career continues to develop, but he has given no
reason for us to doubt that he will eventually put it all together. The 2019
season will be a big one for many people in the organization as the Marlins
continue their pursuit toward sustainable success. Even if the losses pile up
again in a tough NL East, Pablo L贸pez figures to be a bright spot.
