Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has defended Corey Norman in the wake of his NRL ban, saying it wont affect contract negotiations with the wayward five-eighth.Norman was effectively rubbed out for the rest of the season when he was suspended for eight games for a string of off-field incidents including his conviction for drug possession.However Arthur described the 25-year-old as a good person, despite his mistakes, and said they wanted to wrap him up long-term.Hes remorseful but the thing is Coreys a good kid, Arthur said on Friday.Hes made a silly decision and hell learn from it but were here to support him over the next seven weeks and we want him to be at our club long-term.Norman was fined $20,000 and stood down after a string of off-field incidents including being warned by police about consorting with known criminals, appearing in a sex tape he forwarded to teammates as well as making a video in which an elderly man appears to do cocaine.Norman was in career-best form before his suspension and will not take the field again this season unless the Eels qualify for the finals - an unlikely prospect following their 12-point penalty for salary cap rorting.Normans contract negotiations have stalled, after the five Eels officials at the centre of the salary cap saga were banned and the NSW government this week sacked the club board.Arthur said the club did not have a problem with the severity of Normans punishment and was committed to helping him work through his problems.Were here to promote good footballers but were also here to make them better people, thats our job as a club and my job as a coach, Arthur said.I really like Corey, Ive got a lot of time for him and he is a good person.Hes just made a silly decision.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Washington Nationals continue to get a great return on the enormous investment they made in right-hander Max Scherzer before last season.Scherzer, signed to a seven-year, $210 million free-agent contract in January 2015, has been an All-Star each of his first two seasons with the Nationals.This year he is 14-7 with a 2.92 ERA while leading the National League with 227 strikeouts.He has been particularly effective of late, going 5-1 with a 2.36 ERA over nine starts heading into his outing against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, in the middle game of a three-game series.The 32-year-old Scherzer spent five seasons with the Detroit Tigers before signing with Washington. He made the American League All-Star team the last two seasons with Detroit and earned the Cy Young Award in 2013, when he went 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA.Last year he went 14-12 with a 2.79 ERA for Washington, and fashioned a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 20. He led the National League in starts (33), complete games (four) and shutouts (three).He added a 20-strikeout game against the Tigers on May 11 of this season. In 27 starts for the National League East leaders Scherzer has fanned 10 or more 11 times.He stuck out exactly 10 his last time out, while pitching eight shutout innings in an eventual 4-0 victory over Baltimore. He allowed two hits and didnt walk a batter.He had it from the opening pitch, Washington manager Dusty Baker said to MLB.com. Thats what aces do. He shut down a very high-powered offense.

In his career has gone 6-1 with a 2.36 ERA against the Phillies.Right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (9-12, 3.87) is the scheduled starter for the Phillies, who were blanked 4-0 by Tanner Roark and two relievers in Mondays series opener.Eickhoff is 3-0 over his last four starts, despite a 5.04 ERA. His last time out he beat the Chicago White Sox, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out two. He didnt walk a batter.He has not faced Washington this season, but beat the Nats in his only career start against them, going seven innings and allowing two runs on five hits. He struck out 10, which matches his career high, and walked one.He will be looking to follow the lead of rookie right-hander Jake Thompson, who allowed two runs on seven hits over seven innings Monday. It was far and away the best outing to date for Thompson, who tweaked his delivery after pitching to a 9.78 ERA over his first four major league starts.It was night and day from my performance my first four that Ive had, he said. Its kind of a relief. It feels a lot better.Roark was even better, though, pitching seven shutout innings to improve to 14-7. His strong showing came after a rare poor outing his previous time out, against Baltimore.I kind of knew after the last one, hed respond, Baker said. ' ' '
