For a fan base that hadnt enjoyed relevant October baseball since the Joe Carter home run in 1993, winning cures everything. (Well, nearly everything.) This franchise improved quite a bit in The Mags Ultimate Standings, up to the middle of the pack in the sport.Whats goodBeing among the top 10 in baseball for title track drives the overall ranking to a large degree, and wins are generally the result of talented players. With defending AL MVP Josh Donaldson delivering another sensational season, plus plenty of power behind him in the lineup (Edwin Encarnacion, Michael Saunders, Troy Tulowitzki) and breakout pitching performances (Aaron Sanchez, J.A. Happ), the Blue Jays were expected to contend. With good players (ranked 50th, up 44 spots) come wins, and with wins comes bang for the buck (51st).Whats badStadium experience and affordability continue to rank poorly, and though that isnt entirely surprising, its not like the fans arent coming to the games (Toronto averaged 41,880 fans per game, third in MLB). Sorry, fans who ranked stadium experience just 100th overall: A domed stadium is simply a necessity for where the Blue Jays play their home games. Of course, ticket prices arent cheap, but at least the Jays are likely to send you home with a win. Its noteworthy that the only two other MLB stadiums worse in stadium experience were Oakland and Tampa Bay, but again, few in those places would care if the teams were winning. Rogers Centre is what it is -- good enough to host October baseball.Whats newInterestingly enough, while Blue Jays fans complain about their stadium and always will, the fan relations part of the experience has vastly improved (up 35 spots this year, to 67th overall). Manager John Gibbons also took a big jump up 28 spots. The former big league catcher who enjoys starting a bit of trouble on the field is, to fans, someone theyd like to have a beer and catch a game with. Of course, these jumps are just natural occurrences from a long-suffering franchise getting back to winning. Gibbons might or might not be a championship-winning manager, but the fans like him.Next: Boston Red Sox | Full rankings Adidas Stan Smith Baratas .

PHOENIX -- Stephen Strasburg even gave himself a little offensive support in picking up his major league-leading 15th win Monday night.Strasburg made it look easy on the mound and the Washington Nationals did the same with the bats, collecting 19 hits. Anthony Rendon drove in three runs, Daniel Murphy went 3 for 3 and the Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-1.Strasburg (15-1) allowed a run and three hits in six innings, striking out six and walking two. He also had three hits and an RBI.You tell yourself theres a lot of game left and you just have to go out there and do your job, Strasburg said of the early offense. I try and be aggressive every time.Murphy raised his NL-leading batting average to .355 before exiting the game in the top of the fifth inning after he doubled in a run. Murphy was back in the Nationals starting lineup for the first time since last Friday, when he left due to hamstring tightness.Manager Dusty Baker said Murphy had to do a lot of running, so he took him out with game well in hand.He scored from first, then he had to run on the double, then he scored from second, Baker said. So that was enough running for the night. Were trying to keep him for the remainder of the season.Murphy seemed to understand.I do what the skipper says, Murphy said. Less second-guessing that way.Rendon had two hits and is batting .333 with 12 RBI and four doubles since July 16. Wilson Ramos also had three hits and two RBI, and Bryce Harper scored three runs.Arizona starter Archie Bradley (4-7) was roughed up for eight runs and 12 hits in 3 1/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.The Nationals jumped on Bradley in the first inning, loading the bases with a one-out infield single by Jayson Werth and walks to Harper and Murphy. Rendon followed with a sacrifice fly, and Ramos, Clint Robinson and Danny Espinosa had RBI singles to make it 4-0.Werth reached base for the 34th straight game.That was just a head-scratcher, Bradley said. You really toss that one out the window and move on. It was one of those outings you can get too deep and overthink it in what went wrong and why, and then just end up losing your mind.The Diamondbacks run caame in the bottom of the inning.dddddddddddd Jean Segura led off with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on Paul Goldschmidts grounder.Rendon had a two-run double in the second to push the Nationals lead to 6-1. Washington scored three runs in the fifth and five in the eighth.New Washington closer Mark Melancon, acquired from Pittsburgh in the days leading up to Mondays trade deadline, made his Nationals debut in a mop-up role, pitching a scoreless ninth inning.Same stuff we saw on the other side, Baker said of Melancon. We know he throws strikes, we know hes tough to hit.DIAMONDBACKS STAND PAT ON DEADLINE DAYArizona made a couple of deals before Mondays deadline, but nothing on the final day although contending teams expressed some to a lot of interest in young pitchers, according to chief baseball officer Tony La Russa. The problem was that everyone they were interested in were guys we wanted to keep, La Russa said. There wasnt anything that was close to making sense based on how we evaluate our club.La Russa said over the rest of the season, hed like to see how the players respond to the adversity of a losing record. Arizona is 43-63 after Mondays loss. To me, the most pressing issue is the spirit and the toughness not to give into our record, he said.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: INF Ryan Zimmerman has a sore wrist and is day-to-day after X-rays didnt reveal anything broken.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke will pitch for Triple-A Reno in Salt Lake City on Wednesday as he continues to move toward a return from a left oblique strain. ...
