MIAMI -- Christian Yelich reached 20 home runs in a season for the first time in his young career with the Miami Marlins.Yelich hit a solo home run off Max Scherzer in an 8-3 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.The 24-year old outfielder had not hit more than nine home runs in a season before this year. He has a .299 average and a career-high 95 RBI.There is still room for him (to grow as a hitter), Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. That was one of the first true pull homers weve seen from him that he gets the ball up in the air he hits it clean and gets the right angle. Its coming. Hes only going to get better. Crossing those barriers, you start to know you can. To double (his homer total) in one season, your mind goes `I can do that.Tom Koehler (9-12) allowed four runs -- three earned -- in four innings for the Marlins. They had won three in a row to stay in contention for the second wild card spot.It kind of leaves us in the same spot, Mattingly said. It wouldve been nice if we could have won and cut a game off. Hopefully the Dodgers win tonight.Scherzer (18-7) strengthened his case to be the NL Cy Young Award winner. He pitched 6 2/3 innings to tie for the National League victory lead with 18.When we needed shut-down innings I was able to go out there and put up zeroes when we really needed it and it helped get the offense going, Scherzer said.Scherzer allowed three runs and struck out eight to push his major league-leading total to 267. Hes tied for with Chicagos Jon Lester for the most wins in the NL.He should be in strong consideration for a Cy Young, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. I talked to him earlier and I gave him a number and said lets win six or seven of them and he said, `I want to win all of them. Thats the attitude you want and thats the attitude that he carries and the guys love playing behind him.Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run homer and Trea Turner also homered for the Nationals.We got some good offensive days out of some guys especially after our offense was a little sleepy the last couple of days, Baker said.Washington ended a four-game losing streak and lowered their magic number to two to win the NL East over the New York Mets with a chance to clinch on Friday at Pittsburgh.Ive never been a part of anything like this, but its exciting, Turner said. Every game means something even down the stretch playing for home-field advantage or whatever it may be. Its exciting and I enjoy it.Yelich hit a solo home run and Derek Dietrich hit a two-run homer to chase Scherzer in the seventh and cut it to 6-3.Prior to the home runs allowed by Yelich and Dietrich, Scherzer had only allowed two hits.Obviously there in the seventh-of course Im frustrated about that, Scherzer said. You cant walk away from an outing like that feeling great when you give up two home runs especially when your last pitch is a home run. But youll beat yourself up and drive yourself crazy if you try to sit here every single start worrying about the negatives. This start had way more positives and thats what Im going to focus on.Wilson Ramos had an RBI double and scored on a sacrifice fly in the eighth to extend the Nationals lead to 8-3.Washington scored its first run when Koehlers pick-off throw to second went into centerfield and Yelich was unable to field it cleanly allowing Danny Espinosa to score.Zimmermans three-run homer, his 15th, to left field gave the Nationals a 4-0 lead in the fourth.You cant really afford to spot Max a 4-0 lead, Koehler said. More times than not he gets four runs, hes not going to give it back.Jayson Werth had an RBI single and Turner hit his 12th home run for a 6-0 advantage.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: RF Giancarlo Stanton was held out of the lineup after starting and homering in the last two games.

When youre leading a game that youve controlled the majority of and it ends up being two each, have you got that little bit of extra to dig out what you need? Ultimately we did, and I think that speaks volumes of the squad. Norwich boss Alex Neil was euphoric after late win I said before were up for the fight. We went through a real poor run of results then in the last three games weve put two wins and a draw together. I said four or five weeks ago theres always a team that puts a run together to get out of trouble. Weve made a good start to that but weve got crucial games coming up.The result lifted Norwich four points clear of the drop zone, with six games left to play - although Sunderland (in 18th) and Newcastle (19th) both have a game in hand on them.Neil hopes, however, that the dramatic late win at Carrow Road will help to galvanise his squad during the run-in.It gives us a real shot in the arm and it gives the squad a bit of belief in what were doing, he said. Weve got a really good spirit, were fighting and were ready for the scrap.Its just about us continuing to do what weeve been doing.dddddddddddd Martin Olsson scored a late winner for Norwich in their clash against fellow strugglers Newcastle United Match-winner Olsson, meanwhile, also believed it was a huge victory for his side.It was a big game, he told Sky Sports.
