Zimmerman's triple sparks another fast start (Nats win 4-1)
Ryan Zimmerman has had a tough start to the season at the plate. Coming into Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta, Zimmerman was hitting just .097 (3-for-31) with one homer and three RBIs. In the first inning, Brian Goodwin walked and Bryce Harper singled in front of Zimmerman against Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz. Pushed to the No. 5 spot in the batting order, Zimmerman tripled on a sharp line drive to Braves left fielder Preston Tucker. Goodwin and Harper scored. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg...

Eaton scratched with left ankle bone bruise
The Nationals announced about 75 minutes before first pitch that left fielder Adam Eaton has been scratched due to a left ankle bone bruise. Brian Goodwin has been placed in the lineup as the leadoff man and will play left field. Catcher Jhonatan Solano was placed on the 10-day disabled list with bone chips in his right elbow. The move was retroactive to April 7. Catcher Miguel Montero was reinstated from paternity leave. Manager Davey Martinez had limited details as to how Solano got hurt. "I...

Solís and bullpen rested after supreme Scherzer effort

Nationals
Solís and bullpen rested after supreme Scherzer effort
Nationals starter Max Scherzer came up big for his team in so many ways Monday night in the 2-0 shutout of the Braves. The complete game ended their five-game losing streak, helped Scherzer regain his confidence and, maybe most importantly, rested a heavily used bullpen. No fewer than six relievers toiled Sunday night in the extra-inning loss to the Mets, and without another off day before April 19, having a full day of rest is a big thing this early in the season. It was one of those things...

Top prospect Robles leaves Triple-A game with apparent arm injury
Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs center fielder Victor Robles dove for a fly ball in shallow left-center field Monday night in a game at Rochester and rolled over awkwardly on his left elbow. According to a video replay from WROC-TV, Robles left the game under his own power, but his left arm hung down and it was not moving as he headed to the clubhouse. See the video below. The Chiefs did not have an update immediately after the game. A Nationals spokesman said there would be no update on Robles until...

Nationals
Scherzer and Kendrick ignite quick start (Nats win 2-0)
Nationals starter Max Scherzer set the tone early by striking out two in the first: Ozzie Albies swinging and Freddie Freeman looking. Then the Nationals offense did likewise in their half of the first. Anthony Rendon doubled and Bryce Harper walked. With two outs, Howie Kendrick lined a double down the left field line to score two. The Nationals have scored at least one run in the first inning in eight of their 10 games. Update: Scherzer allowed a single to Kurt Suzuki in the second, but no...

Despite his rough start, Martinez sees Taylor building on at-bats

Despite his rough start, Martinez sees Taylor building on at-bats
Nationals center fielder Michael A. Taylor has yet to get into a nice groove early in 2018, but he showed some signs of consistency in a couple of at-bats in Sunday night's 6-5 loss to the Mets. After starting the game 0-for-2, Taylor singled in the fifth and then added an RBI single in the seventh that tied the game at 5-5. Unfortunately, he struck out in the ninth with the bases loaded and one out. The pitches that got him off of Mets reliever Seth Lugo were a slider, a curveball and then a...

Kintzler allows go-ahead run, but Nats bullpen holds up well
The Nationals bullpen held up its end of the ballgame for more than six innings, giving the team a chance to get back in the game. But in the end, it was not enough, as the Mets outlasted the Nats 6-5 in 12 innings. Brandon Kintzler allowed a leadoff single to begin the 12th inning. The Mets then used a sacrifice bunt to get pinch-hitter Juan Lagares into scoring position. The Nationals decided to intentionally walk Michael Conforto to get to Yoenis Céspedes. Céspedes muscled a Kintzler...

Harper crushes another homer (Mets won 6-5 in 12 innings)
Attempting to snap a four-game losing streak, the Nationals wanted to jump start their offense on a chilly Sunday night before a nationally televised audience. Of course, it had to be No. 34 first in line for the super charge. Bottom of the first after a one-out single from Anthony Rendon, Bryce Harper blasted a 1-1 Matt Harvey pitch over the right field wall just inside the foul pole. The Nats had the early lead 2-0. It was the seventh time in the Nats first nine games they have scored at...

Martinez reflects on ejection and updates Eaton's status
A little over 24 hours have passed since Nationals manager Davey Martinez was ejected from the 3-2 loss to the Mets. Martinez was tossed for the first time in his managerial career, arguing against the ejection of third baseman Anthony Rendon by home plate umpire Marty Foster. Since that incident on the field, Martinez has had some time to reflect. And he has heard and read a lot about the ejection on his phone and on television. "It was all over the news," Martinez said. "I'm not typically...

Strasburg not down after 8-2 setback, laments two pitches
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg was pretty satisfied with his work in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Mets, but would want back two pitches and a misstep. Strasburg gave his team a chance. The Nationals were down only 4-2 when he departed. Yoenis Cespédes hit a solo shot in the fourth on a low four-seam fastball. Michael Conforto gave the Mets a 4-2 lead on a two-run shot in the fifth. That pitch was a 97 mph four-seam fastball on a 1-2 count. "I thought my stuff was pretty good," Strasburg...

Zimmerman and Turner react to failed sixth-inning rally
The Nationals' best chance to put a big inning together in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Mets came in the sixth inning. Having seen Mets starter Jacob deGrom two times through the lineup, the Nats found themselves down 4-2. The top of the lineup was the only part of the Nationals offense that clicked all day. In the sixth, Adam Eaton led off with a single and Anthony Rendon and Bryce Harper walked. Suddenly, the Nats had the bases loaded and the sellout crowd of 42,477 sensed this was the home...

Stephen Strasburg charged up the home crowd with a pair of strikeouts and a scoreless first frame to get the home opener underway at Nationals Park. In the bottom of the first, Adam Eaton doubled to right-center field and scored on an Anthony Rendon single and a Jay Bruce bobble of the ball in right field. The error allowed Eaton to scoot home for a 1-0 Nationals lead. In the second, Bruce doubled and went to third on a groundout. With two outs, Strasburg walked Kevin Plawecki. Strasburg was...

More on Eaton's catch, Scherzer's day and the Law Firm
Left fielder Adam Eaton demonstrated Wednesday against the Braves that his knee is fine and he can take the hard hit. Eaton dove to his left and stretched out toward the warning track to rob Braves hitter Ozzie Albies of extra bases with a spectacular catch in the third inning of the Nats' 7-1 series finale setback in Atlanta. Eaton had promised that his knee was solid and that he would go all out on every play as he returns from major knee surgery that forced him to miss most of the 2017...

Scherzer can't put Braves away early, falls 7-1
ATLANTA - The Braves took advantage of an early fielding mistake by the Nationals and a rare uneven performance from Max Scherzer in a 7-1 series-clinching victory at SunTrust Park on Wednesday. It was the first series loss of the season for the Nats. Both teams are 4-2, and are tied for second place in the National League East. Spurred by another three-run homer from Preston Tucker, the Braves raced out to a 3-0 lead. Tucker had a three-run shot in Tuesday's 13-6 Atlanta victory. Tucker got...

ATLANTA - Game 3 of the series has been filled with a couple surprises in the first inning. Nothing surprising, but the Nationals got something going in the first. Surprisingly, they couldn't finish off the frame with runs scored. Facing Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz, Anthony Rendon singled and Bryce Harper walked with one away. Matt Adams struck out. After a wild pitch, Trea Turner was called out on strikes to end the threat. Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer allowed a double by Freddie...

Off to fast start, Eaton continues building strength in knee
ATLANTA - Nationals left fielder Adam Eaton literally hit the ground running to begin the 2018 season, his first regular season play since April 28 of last year. That's the night Eaton suffered a serious knee injury that required surgery. He has rehabbed the past 10 months to get back to nearly 100 percent and has displayed the leadoff talent general manager Mike Rizzo envisioned when he made the deal for the sparkplug prior to the 2017 campaign. Eaton was rewarded for an outstanding first...
