Dbacks 2, Nationals 4: Welcome to the Big Leagues, Kid

By the time I tuned in, the Diamondbacks had already stuck Max "DeadHorse.gif" Scherzer for two runs, so I had to figure out how they got here. Jean Segura wasted no time getting the team on the board. He took the first pitch Scherzer gave him deep for his eighth lead off home run of the season. He also became the 104th player to hit 20+ this season. That breaks a record set back in 1999. Interesting that an offensive record broke in the Steroids Era gets broken now, when pitching is generally acknowledged to be on the upswing.
