Gott excited to be up with Nationals
Right-hander Trevor Gott has appeared in four games for the Nationals during his September callup, posting a 3.00 ERA. In those four games, Gott has pitched three innings and allowed two hits and one run, with two walks and two strikeouts. The 24-year-old said he battled an arm issue early in his tenure with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs this season that slowed his progress a bit. "I had some inflammation in the elbow, so I had to rest that, get that down," he said. "Caught it early, which is...

Nationals
Speier emotional for Baker after Nats beat Mets
Prior to Wednesday's series finale against the Mets, bench coach Chris Speier met with the media in the spot normally reserved for manager Dusty Baker. Speier was there because Baker was home due to a death in the family. Speier spoke about Baker as a manager, a close friend, a confidant, a trusted advisor and sometimes even a father figure to the Nationals. Speier said they would dedicate the next couple of games to Baker. On Wednesday, the Nationals found a way with shutout pitching and a...

Nationals
Game 146 lineups: Mets at Nats
Following an emotional extra-inning comeback that fell just short in a 4-3 loss to division rivals, today's getaway couldn't be in better hands from a Nationals perspective than right-hander Tanner Roark. In his last matchup September 9 against the Phillies, Roark racked up six innings, scattering six hits and allowing one run, with two walks, one hit by pitch and eight strikeouts. He tossed 107 pitches, 71 for strikes. He is 14-8 with a 2.85 ERA. Ironically, the 2.85 ERA was the same mark he...

Nationals
Cole steady in no-decision; Soto named GCL MVP
Right-hander A.J. Cole had given up a lot of hits but held the Mets to only three runs in five innings. The fifth inning was their biggest rally, beginning with a Yoenis Cespedes single and then an RBI triple from Curtis Granderson. The extra-base hit gave the Mets a 2-1 lead. A sacrifice fly to center field from T.J. Rivera made it 3-1 Mets. Cole walked two and struck out six. He allowed at least one base hit each inning, but kept the Mets off the board in the first, second and fourth...

Blevins solves Murphy this time, but Nats second baseman has delivered

Blevins solves Murphy this time, but Nats second baseman has delivered
Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy extended his hitting streak to 18 games against the Mets in a 10-inning 4-3 loss Tuesday night. He had a double and a single, but struck out with a man on first to end the game. Hitting streaks are nice, of course, but you can bet Murphy would give it all back for a base hit against Mets reliever Jerry Blevins in his last at-bat. Manager Dusty Baker said it's hard to fault Murphy in that situation, considering the multiple times this season he has carried...

Ramos puts Nats on top early with double (Mets win 4-3 in 10)
Right-hander A.J. Cole, making his second start against the Mets in 11 days, allowed a double and a walk in the first inning against New York. But the Mets' Jay Bruce flew out to center field to end the inning. In the second, Cole surrendered back-to-back singles to Rene Rivera and Noah Syndergaard with two outs. But Cole struck out leadoff hitter Jose Reyes for the second time in as many at-bats to end the threat. The Nationals scored a run in the second off of Syndergaard. Bryce Harper was...

Koda Glover on his desire to face big hitters in key moments
Fans have been excited to see right-hander Koda Glover make a meteoric rise to the big leagues this season. With Glover, they have had a chance to see the focus the youngster brings to his job - that closer mentality and killer instinct - used to get each hitter he faces out. Glover started this season for high Single-A Potomac and pitched for Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse before joining the Nationals. Just last season he pitched for NCAA Division I Oklahoma State, got drafted in...

He finished 3-for-5 and is now hitting .347. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Murphy now has a hit in all 17 games the Nationals have played against the Mets this season.

Lopez helps finish off Mets, could be important in Nats' run to postseason
It was unfortunate that Nationals starter Mat Latos had to leave Monday's game against the Mets before getting out of the fifth inning. Up to that point, the veteran right-hander had allowed only three hits and one run. But the bullpen took over, highlighted by right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, who threw three scoreless innings to record his third major league victory in an 8-1 dispatch of the Mets. Lopez (3-3) allowed no hits in the three innings with two walks. It was his first appearance since...

Murphy still tormenting his former team (Nats win 8-1)
It certainly did not take long for the Mets to score a run off of Nationals right-hander Mat Latos. Jose Reyes doubled to right field to lead off the game and went to third on a groundout. He scored on a Yoenis Cespedes sacrifice fly for a 1-0 Mets lead. The Nationals looked to get in right back in the bottom of the first facing right-hander Rafael Montero. Trea Turner reached on an infield single and stole second and Jayson Werth walked. Daniel Murphy singled to load the bases. With that...

Baker and Maddux want to make sure Glover is OK after two rough outings
Right-hander Koda Glover has pitched in the eighth inning in his last two outings. Each time, he allowed a homer. On Friday, Glover surrendered a three-run shot to Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp. Then Sunday, it was a solo shot on his first pitch to Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis. After allowing only one run in six of his previous seven outings, Glover allowed four runs in back-to-back appearances. This was unchartered territory for Glover. Nationals manager Dusty Baker felt Glover was taking...

Extra rest will benefit Wilson Ramos as Nats embark on stretch drive
Catcher Wilson Ramos takes a lot of punishment behind the plate but has still been able to play solid defense and hit well this season. On Friday night, Ramos was dinged up a couple of times, falling over on his hands an knees after 90-95 mph pitches glanced off his body and feet. He doubled over in pain and was attended to by trainer Paul Lessard and manager Dusty Baker, but would not come out. This has happened on more than a few occasions this season where Ramos gets hit by a pitch, fights...

Rendon's offense and defense impact another Nats victory
Third baseman Anthony Rendon's bat and glove were on display again as the Nationals finished off a series with the Phillies by winning 3-2 on Sunday. Rendon connected on an RBI double and later scored on a passed ball in a crucial two-run rally in the seventh inning that provided the margin of victory. "Runs, in general, are going to be great," Rendon said. "Just got a good read, I guess, ran really fast. "2-0, that's a hitter's count so you got to be aggressive in those situations, and...

Melancon records another save; Harper on strategy prior to homer
Mark Melancon made the ninth inning quiet. That's what he has done since he arrived. Melancon now has 40 saves, 10 with the Nationals, as he pitched a scoreless ninth in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Phillies. Manager Dusty Baker discussed the acquisition of Melancon after the game, a move that came at the end of July. "That's why we traded for him, him and (Mark Rzepczynski) both," Baker said. "They've really solidified our bullpen, especially because it was in kind of disarray before...

Harper slams homer, Scherzer pitches another gem in 3-0 win
In a scoreless duel, and almost on cue, Bryce Harper again played hero for the Nationals in a 3-0 victory over the Phillies on Saturday night. With a 0-0 score and just 10 hits on the board split between the squads, the Nats scored three runs in the eighth courtesy of a dramatic home run for Harper, his 24th of the season. A 3-1 offering by the Phillies Patrick Schuster was driven high into the night sky down the right field line and bounced well into the back of the Nats bullpen. Manager Dusty...

The Phillies have gotten base hits off of Max Scherzer in three of the first four innings, but have not been able to capitalize. Cesar Hernandez singled and Andres Blanco walked in the first. Scherzer proceeded to get two infield popups to end the threat. In the third, Hernandez walked and stole second. Later, Blanco was hit by pitch and stole second. But Tommy Joseph struck out to end the inning. In the fourth with one out, Freddy Galvis singled. He was wiped out by a 4-6-3 double play to...

After simulated game, Ross believes he can go past 60 pitches
Right-hander Joe Ross threw 60 pitches in a simulated game at Nationals Park prior to Saturday night's game against the Phillies. Ross came out of the effort feeling good about his status as he recovers from right shoulder inflammation that has kept him on the disabled list since July 3. "It felt good - fastball, slider, changeup," Ross said. "It was nice to get back out there and face some of our guys. Hot out there, easy to stay loose for a couple of up and downs. Feeling pretty...

Strasburg receives platelet-rich plasma injection
In his first meeting with the media since he was pulled from his start Wednesday night, Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg said he was relieved the MRI didn't reveal any more damage than a flexor mass strain. "It was about as good of news as you can get," Strasburg said. "So I'm just trying to take it one day at a time now and do everything I can to get out there, not only as fast as possible but feeling right at the same time." Strasburg said he was relieved by the diagnosis...
