WASHINGTON - It's a classic case of addition by addition.
The Atlanta Braves got Nick Markakis back on Friday. In related news, they just became an ever more dangerous October out.
Playing in his first game since suffering a fractured wrist on July 26, Markakis was all over the place. Facing Nationals ace Max Scherzer in the second inning, he lined a single to center field. In his next trip against the three-time Cy Young winner, Markakis laced a double to center and came around to score the Braves' first run of the game.
