ALLENTOWN - Jayson Werth has been making more headlines off the field lately than on the field. The former Phillies and current Nationals outfielder is trying to change that.

Just two days ago, the Buffalo News and the Washington Post ran articles highlighting the over-sized tip, 55-percent on a $183.53 bill while dining at a Buffalo eatery called The Black Sheep.Last night he made his fourth start for Triple-A Syracuse in rehabbing a fractured left wrist that has been injured often over his career. He told the Washington Post two days ago that he is healthy to go but the lingering question is how healthy will he really be?Facing IronPig right-hander Severino Gonzalez, Werth flew out and grounded out in his first two lackluster at-bats. Being the experienced professional, he made adjustments when his team needed it. Down 2-0 in the sixth inning, he sent Gonzalez's second pitch fast ball back up the middle for a single.With two outs Chief outfielder Caleb Ramsey singled with two outs to send Werth to third base. One pitch later, Dan Butler drove in Werth for the first Syracuse run.Werth flew out in the eighth and in the 10th inning he was part of the most pivotal inning of the game. With two outs, National's prospect Trea Turner drew a walk off IronPig reliever Adam Loewen, snapping his streak of retiring 26-straight batters. With two strikes against the hot-left hander, Werth was hit in the torso by Loewen's 1-2 offering.The at-bat ended Werth's night with a 1-for 4 evening with a run scored.The capacity crowd at Coca-Cola Park remembered Werth's success in Philadelphia with a warm and robust ovation as he approached the plate. It will not be long until he is wearing a National's uniform where he will receive the traditional Philadelphia welcome given to the best players of opposing teams.
