Sep 29, 2018 10:22 PM

Mets third baseman David Wright returned to the starting lineup for the first time since 2016 on Saturday, playing four innings against the Marlins and leaving to a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Citi Field.

The team captain went 0-for-1 with a walk against the Marlins and was removed after two plate appearances as planned. On defense, he handled a one-hopper to third base with no problem.

Longtime White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson worked his final game Sunday, closing out a colorful TV career after three-plus decades in the booth. The White Sox paid tribute to Harrelson with a couple videos, and he fought back tears throughout the ninth inning of a 6-1 loss to the crosstown Cubs.

"I've enjoyed it. Very much, I have enjoyed it," Harrelson said moments after Matt Davidson struck out swinging for the final out. "I've loved it. I will never forget it."
