Adam Greenberg Makes Return to MLB

Marc Serota/Getty Images(MIAMI) -- Mike Greenberg made his return to Major League Baseball Tuesday night when the Miami Marlins signed him to a one-day contract.

The contract was a second chance for a player who never got much of his first chance.

Greenberg was last in the majors with the Chicago Cubs in 2005, but in his lone plate appearance he was hit in the back of the head with a fastball, a moment that put a huge damper on his career.

In his at-bat against the New York Mets in the sixth inning, the 31-year-old struck out on three pitches pinch-hitting against New York Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.

"It was magical," he said. "The energy in the stadium was something I never experienced, and I don't know if I will ever experience it again. You could just feel the genuine support. It was awesome."

Greenberg was last in the majors in 2008 with the Los Angeles Angels.  He played in independent baseball leagues from 2009-2011.

Freeman Blasts Braves Into Playoffs

Scott Cunningham/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- The Atlanta Braves clinched a playoff berth Monday night, when first baseman Freddie Freeman blasted a two-run walk-off home run, giving the Braves (89-65) a 5-4 victory over the Miami Marlins (66-88).

Last season, the Braves had a 8 1/2 game lead on the St. Louis Cardinals, the morning of September 6, but they posted a 9-18 record in September and ended up missing the playoffs.

"There was never any doubt," Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said of making the playoffs. "We knew that last year was somewhat of a fluke."

Chipper helped make sure it was a fluke. He started off the bottom of the ninth with a double, and scored the tying run on Freeman's blast.

Besides making the playoffs, the Braves made some history. For the 22nd consecutive time, the Braves won a game that pitcher Kris Medlen has started. That ties the Braves with the New York Yankees, who won 22 straight games between 1950-53 when pitcher Whitey Ford started.

Marlins' Manage Ozzie Guillen Not Worried About His Job Security

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Earlier in the week, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reported that Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen might be fired at seasons end. Although, Guillen doesn't seem too concerned about those reports.

"Ha. Ha. Ha," Guillen said when asked about the report. "That's the last thing going through my mind every day, if I'm going to have a job next year. I'm going to have a job. I don't know if it's managing the Marlins, but I will have a job. I don't know if it's managing in the big leagues, but I will have a job."

Guillen's first season with the Marlins has not gone how many predicted. The team formerly known as the Florida Marlins opened up their new ballpark this season in hopes of drawing a new generation of fans to see the team. This season, the team ranks 18th in Major League Baseball in attendance which is lower then they had hoped for.

Over the offseason, the team went out and signed players like Jose Reyes, Heath Bell, and Mark Buehrle. The team's offseason spending didn't turn out that well.

The team is in last place in the NL East division and have the 27th ranked offense as well as the 20th ranked team ERA.

Braves Win 21st Straight With Medlen On the Mound

Tony Firriolo/MLB Photos via Getty Images(MIAMI) -- Kris Medlen continues to be a good luck charm for the Atlanta Braves. The 26-year-old pitcher threw eight-innings of shutout ball, as the Braves (88-64) won their 21st straight game that Medlen has started, this time beating the Miami Marlins (66-84), 3-0.

The 21 straight victories by a team when a certain pitcher starts is the best since the New York Yankees won 22 straight between 1950-53 when Whitey Ford started. Medlen's streak began in 2010.

“It’s awesome,” Medlen said. “My wife’s told me and a couple of people have said some of the names I’m being mentioned with. Whitey Ford? Come on. Don’t even say it…. Anytime you can get mentioned in the same sentence as guys like that, it’s really cool. I just try not to get too ahead of myself, just focus on the goal at hand, which is trying to make the playoffs.”

With the win, the Braves magic number is five to clinch a Wild Card spot.
