Strasburg kept trusting his stuff despite early runs for the Orioles
Just like his team, Stephen Strasburg didn't allow a rocky second inning to ruin his whole start. The Orioles tallied three runs on four hits in the frame, highlighted by three singles in a row from the bottom of the order. Suddenly, the Nationals found themselves in an early deficit. Strasburg spoke about psychologically getting over the early deficit and focusing on his pitching. "Yeah, I was a little frustrated at the time," Strasburg said. "But talking with Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike...

Strasburg has command issues early (Nats win 7-6 on Wieters hit)
Stephen Strasburg had a bit of trouble locating to the first couple of hitters he faced. Seth Smith doubled and Adam Jones walked to open the top of the first. But he then struck out Manny Machado, induced a flyout to left by Chris Davis and struck out Mark Trumbo. The Orioles put together a big second inning against Strasburg. After Jonathan Schoop was hit by a pitch, the Orioles reeled off three consecutive singles. Caleb Joseph had an RBI single to begin the scoring. A sacrifice fly by Seth...

Adam Lind comes up clutch in a pinch again for Nationals

Nationals Orioles
Adam Lind comes up clutch in a pinch again for Nationals
BALTIMORE - If it wasn't for another bullpen collapse, Adam Lind would have been the hero for the Nationals again. His third pinch-hit homer of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth inning, broke a 1-1 tie to give the Nationals a 4-1 lead over the Orioles. But the Nationals eventually lost 5-4 in 12 innings. Still, what a find the Nationals have in Lind. And even more impressive: three pinch-hit homers in the season's first 33 games. Lind's three pinch-hit homers are the most by a...

Scherzer did everything but win the game with season-high eight innings
BALTIMORE - Max Scherzer continues to be the go-to starter for the Nationals. Tuesday's effort against the Orioles in a no-decision was one of his best this season. The right-hander lasted a season-high eight innings, allowing only two runs, scattering four hits with two walks and 11 strikeouts. The home runs still a concern: Scherzer allowed solo shots to Seth Smith and Adam Jones. The second homer came in the eighth, cutting the Nationals' lead to 4-2. The Orioles came back to win the game...

BALTIMORE - In a game that seemed out of reach, the Nationals clawed their way back and had a shot at tying or taking the lead in the ninth inning. The Orioles won the game 6-4, but the Nationals must have felt like they let a huge opportunity tslip away. Down 6-3 in the top of the ninth against Orioles reliever Brad Brach, Daniel Murphy started off with a walk. After Anthony Rendon struck out, Adam Lind singled to move Murphy to second.

BALTIMORE - Catcher Matt Wieters received a nice ovation and a video montage to the theme from the 1970s hit TV show "Welcome Back, Kotter" as he took warmup pitches from left-hander Gio Gonzalez tonight in the bottom of the first. Then the home crowd gave much louder cheers as the Orioles blasted three homers in the first to take a 4-0 lead after one frame. Gonzalez allowed solo homers to Joey Rickard, Mark Trumbo and a two-run shot to Trey Mancini. In the top of third with one out, Wieters...

Juan Soto on disabled list with a right ankle injury
Nationals prospect Juan Soto went down with a right ankle injury in a game May 2. The right fielder injured the ankle sliding into home when he got tangled up with the catcher. Soto, from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has been placed on the seven-day disabled list. Team officials say no timeline has been set for his return. If the ankle is fractured, he would need two weeks of rest and treatment before being re-evaluated. In that scenario, Soto would likely not need surgery, and could be...

Albers, Romero and Taylor shine in series-clinching win
For all the handwringing about the Nationals bullpen, they did a nice job of bouncing back in the Diamondbacks series. In the Colorado series, the pitching staff allowed 29 runs in five games. Nineteen of those runs came in the late innings. Against Arizona, the bullpen allowed two runs in the first game, none on Wednesday and one on Thursday. The final scores of the last two games were 2-1 and 4-2. Far cry from the 23-5, 15-12 and 16-5 games they had been a part of within the last 10 days. The...

Bryce Harper left game with groin tightness, listed as "day-to-day"
The Nationals dropped the Diamondbacks 4-2 Thursday afternoon at Nats Park to win the series, and they now head off to Philadelphia to begin a five-game two-city road trip. That was all well and good, but the biggest postgame concern centered around the health of right fielder Bryce Harper who left the game in the seventh inning. Harper was replaced by Chris Heisey after finishing 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. His diving catch in right field of a liner from Diamondbacks starting pitcher...
