Jacob deGrom struck out 10 over eight scoreless innings against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, lowering his ERA to 1.70 on the season.

deGrom also recorded the 1,000th strikeout of his career when he punched out his final batter, Ozzie Albies.

"I'm really excited with how the night went," deGrom said. "I had the goal to get to that tonight. It was a lot cooler to get my 1,000th strikeout on my last pitch of the year than my first batter next year."

The New York Mets right-hander is a candidate for the National League Cy Young award.

He has just 10 wins, but finished with a record 24 quality starts.

Max Scherzer recorded his 300th strikeout of the season Tuesday night as the Washington Nationals faced the Miami Marlins.

"I definitely wanted to do it here at home," said Scherzer, who is scheduled to make his final start Sunday at the Colorado Rockies. "The fans, unbelievable support. When they're standing on their feet, going crazy, it just gives you an extra adrenaline boost, and you just want to go out there and accomplish that. It was an amazing feeling to have the fans behind you and the respect that they gave."

Scherzer's 10 strikeouts marked the 18th time he has tallied double-digits this season, the most in the Major Leagues.

He becomes the 17th pitcher since 1900 to fan 300 batters in a season and the fifth since 2000, joining Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale.

Manny Machado hit one of three home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday to give the team a National League-leading 222 on the season and break the club record of 221.

"We have great hitters here," Machado said. "We're all confident. We know the team we have."

The Dodgers hit 221 home runs last season.

With the home run, Machado also notched the first 100-RBI season of his career.

With Luke Voit's home run in the second inning on Thursday night, the New York Yankees now have 12 players with 10 or more homers this season.

It marks the first time in Major League history a team has had a dozen players with double-digit home runs.

"It's still pretty cool to be a part of that," Voit said. "It's something to kind of take a positive from that game. No one else can say that they did that."

The previous record was 11 shared by the 2015 and 2017 Astros, the 2016 Twins and the 2004 Tigers.

In addition to Voit, Giancarlo Stanton (35), Aaron Judge (26), Didi Gregorius (26), Miguel Andujar (25), Aaron Hicks (24), Gleyber Torres (23), Gary Sanchez (16), Brett Gardner (12), Greg Bird (11) and Neil Walker (10) also have double-digit home runs.

The Baltimore Orioles lost to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, dropping their record to 43-107.

With 12 games to play, the Orioles have tied their franchise record for losses. The mark was previously set in 1988.

The Orioles are 60 games out of first place in the American League East.

Christian Yelich made history on Monday night when he hit for the cycle against the Cincinnati Reds for the second time this season.

The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder is the first player in Major League history to hit for the cycle against the same team twice in one season.

He's just the fifth player ever to have two cycles in a season. His first cycle came on August 30.

"There's been so many great players to play this game," Yelich said. "It just shows how freaky, I guess, that is. A lot of luck goes into that. It's hard enough to get four hits in a Major League Baseball game, yet alone have them all be the right ones and the right sequence."

Yelich is batting .500 (24 for 48) with seven homers, 17 RBIs and 12 runs against the Reds this season.

J.D. Martinez has a chance to make Major League history over the final month of the season.

Martinez could finish the season as baseball's overall leader in batting average, home runs and RBI. The last player to lead Major League Baseball in all three categories was Mickey Mantle in 1956.

An American League or National League triple crown is rare as well. It has been achieved just 16 times since the RBI became an official statistic in 1920.

Through Thursday's action, Martinez ranked second in batting average (.330), tied for first in home runs (41) and first in RBI (122).

The Boston Red Sox are the fastest team to reach 100 wins since 2001 after they beat the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0 on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox became the first team to clinch a playoff berth on Tuesday. They reached the 100-win mark in their 146th game. The 2001 Seattle Mariners reached 100 wins in their 140th game and went on to win a major-league-record 116 games.

Boston hadn't won 100 games in a season since 1946 when Ted Williams led the way to 104 victories.

Trevor Story made Major League history on Tuesday night with a first-inning double against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It was Story's 40th double of the season and it resulted in his 100th RBI. He is the first primary-position shortstop to reach 40 doubles, 30 home runs and 25 stolen bases in a season.

The Colorado Rockies star also joined Alex Rodriguez as the only primary-position shortstops to have 30 homers, 100 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in a season since 1920.
