Eaton's RBI single answers Guerrero's early homer (Nats fall 5-1)

Eaton's RBI single answers Guerrero's early homer (Nats fall 5-1)
The Blue Jays got ahead of right-hander Austin Voth and the Nationals in the second inning on a home run from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Left fielder Emilio Bonifácio and center fielder Victor Robles went after Guerrero's long fly ball to left-center field. The two collided at the wall and the ball went over the fence for a home run. Robles appeared to have the ball in his glove for a moment right before the two collided. Bonifácio went down on his back but got up with the help of Robles. The...

Soto receives another negative test result, now waiting on MLB and D.C.
Nationals manager Davey Martinez had good news regarding the health of outfielder Juan Soto, who has been away from the team since July 23 after receiving a positive test for COVID-19. Martinez reported yesterday that Soto had already received one official negative test from Major League Baseball and the Nationals were awaiting the results of a second test. "We did get another result back today," Martinez said on a video call Tuesday before the game against the Blue Jays. "He tested...

Aggressive Blue Jays hit four homers off Sánchez in 4-1 setback

Aggressive Blue Jays hit four homers off Sánchez in 4-1 setback
The Blue Jays used the longball to build an early lead against Nationals veteran Aníbal Sánchez. Thanks to four solo homers and four double plays that kept the Nats offense from igniting, Toronto grabbed the series opener 4-1 on Monday night. Setting the tone on the game's second pitch, Teoscar Hernández led off with a solo homer to right-center field to give Toronto a 1-0 advantage. It was Hernández's third career leadoff home run, one of two homers for the slugger off of...

Blue Jays go long to rough up Sánchez (Nats fall 4-1)
The Blue Jays used the longball to build an early lead against Nationals veteran Aníbal Sánchez in his first start of the season Monday night. Teoscar Hernández led off the game with a solo homer to give Toronto a 1-0 advantage. It was Hernández's third career leadoff home run. In the fourth inning, the Blue Jays enjoyed the longball again thanks to solo shots from Rowdy Tellez and Danny Jansen. All three roundtrippers were the first homers of the season for those Blue Jays...

Martinez on Marlins' coronavirus outbreak: "I'm scared"

Martinez on Marlins' coronavirus outbreak: "I'm scared"
Nationals manager Davey Martinez got emotional at the end of his pregame video call today, and said he was worried about himself and his players after the news that 14 Marlins players and staff have tested positive for COVID-19. The Nats are scheduled to host the Blue Jays in a two-game series that begins tonight at Nats Park. "My level of concern went from about an eight to a 12," Martinez said. "This thing really hits home now that you see half a team get infected and go from one city to...

Corbin was on target for first start of 2020

Corbin was on target for first start of 2020
Patrick Corbin did almost everything right in his Sunday start against the Yankees. His slider was working to perfection, his fastball was locating well and his sinker was difficult to touch. Corbin was pitching so well that he did not allow New York a baserunner until the fourth inning. The first batted ball to leave the infield was a Gleyber Torres single with two outs in the fourth. Three innings later, Torres ended Corbin's shutout bid with a solo homer. Corbin was pulled after that home,...

Elias placed on 60-day injured list with left elbow injury

Elias placed on 60-day injured list with left elbow injury
The Nationals announced that reliever Roenis Elías is being placed on the 60-day injured list due to a left elbow flexor strain. Because the move is retroactive to July 13, Elías could be activated in 45 days. But a flexor strain is an injury that can sometimes be a precursor to Tommy John surgery, which would keep a pitcher out of action for over 12 months. So Elías and the Nats are being extremely cautious in monitoring this injury. They will rehab the elbow in hopes that Elías...

Corbin starts smooth, Turner notches first HR (Nats fall 3-2)
Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin came out of the blocks mesmerizing with his fastball and patented slider in the final game of the opening series against the Yankees Sunday afternoon at Nats Park. Through the first three innings, Corbin struck out five batters, and the other four hitters all grounded out to third base or shortstop. Yankees bullpen starter Jonathan Loaisiga had also been outstanding, featuring a fastball in the 97-99 mph range and a knee-buckling curveball at 84 mph. That...

No update on Soto, Martinez cautious with Strasburg recovery
Nationals manager Davey Martinez said there is no update available yet on outfielder Juan Soto and his testing for COVID-19. "Nothing," Martinez said during his pregame video conference call Sunday. "Like I said, we'll get him as soon as he's able to come back. We'll get him going again. That's all I have." Soto received a positive test on Thursday morning and has been staying home in D.C. since. He needs two negative test results separated by 24 hours to be eligible to be...

Robles' all-around game helps lift Nats to first win of season

Robles' all-around game helps lift Nats to first win of season
One of the players many hoped would step up offensively for the Nationals in 2020 did just that in game two of this abbreviated campaign. Victor Robles is one of the Nats many hoped could pick up the offensive slack left when Anthony Rendon signed with the Angels. Saturday night he showed that promise, going 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and four RBIs in the Nats' 9-2 win over the Yankees. It was the defending champions first win of 2020. "Tremendous," said manager Davey Martinez on...

Fedde starts quickly, so does offense (Nats win 9-2)
The Nationals were the ones that came up with the early offense against the Yankees Saturday night. Starlin Castro drilled an opposite-field two-out triple off of left-hander James Paxton in the first inning, but Howie Kendrick flew out to center field to end the threat. But in the second inning, the Nats reeled off four consecutive hits to send Paxton to the showers. Asdrúbal Cabrera, Kurt Suzuki and Carter Kieboom started the inning with back-to-back-to-back singles. Kieboom fought back...

Finnegan on making the Nats roster: "It's incredible"

Finnegan on making the Nats roster: "It's incredible"
Right-hander Kyle Finnegan has been in the minors since 2013, so making the opening day roster in 2020 with the Nationals was a big step. Since arriving as a sixth-round pick by the Athletics, Finnegan has played for seven different teams and logged time at every level. He was a starter from 2013 to 2015, making it to Double-A in 2014 and Triple-A in 2017. The Nats signed him as a free agent in December 2019. In late March, the Nats optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg. But then the coronavirus...

Nats on kneeling with black ribbon as symbol of unity prior to national anthem
Nationals players and coaching staff knelt down prior to the national anthem on opening night alongside the Yankees, holding a black ribbon that extended from the left field foul pole around home plate all the way out to the right field foul pole at Nationals Park. The moment was planned and agreed upon by all involved to be a unifying show of support for Black Lives Matter, and to raise awareness of the issues of police brutality and injustice toward Black people that has been rampant in the...

Scherzer blames fastball location problems early in 4-1 loss

Scherzer blames fastball location problems early in 4-1 loss
Max Scherzer wanted to get off to a good start on opening night, but it just didn't happen. Against a strong Yankees lineup, Scherzer did his best to avoid trouble, but when you have to face the likes of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton multiple times in a game, trouble can find you. Scherzer allowed a two-run homer and a run-scoring single to Stanton, and Judge delivered a single and an RBI double as the Yankees took down the Nationals 4-1 in rain-shortened five innings to finally jumpstart...

Yankees up early on Scherzer (Nats fall 4-1 in five innings)
The Nationals celebrated their first world championship with a flag raising in the center field plaza and a hoisting of the 2019 World Series pennant above the video board in right field before tonight's Major League Baseball opener against the Yankees at Nationals Park. One can only imagine how loud Nats Park would have been in any other season opener with 43,000 fans on their feet to share in the accomplishment. But this is 2020, and with the world in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic,...

The Nationals have announced their 30-man opening day roster for the 2020 regular season, which was overshadowed by the news that outfielder Juan Soto has tested positive for COVID-19 and is on the injured list to begin the season. Soto is not currently showing any symptoms. General manager Mike Rizzo confirmed that Soto is "asymptomatic." Austin Voth has been named the fifth starter to begin the season, while Erick Fedde will pitch out of the bullpen. "Austin Voth will definitely be our...

Scherzer says adrenaline to fuel opening day start in empty stadium
The 2020 regular season finally gets underway for the defending world champions tonight when they host the New York Yankees at Nats Park. It's game one of 60 on the schedule and will be played before a nationally televised audience, but without fans in the stadium. Right-hander Max Scherzer is again on the hill to begin a season for the Nationals, but this time around under unique safety protocols and rules in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's like every opening day," Scherzer said...

Status report on bullpen as opening day draws closer

Status report on bullpen as opening day draws closer
The Nationals bullpen got off to an incredibly rough start in 2019. The Nats struggled in losing 31 of their first 50 games before key additions helped them to recover as the season progressed. But the Nats bullpen's overall ERA for the regular season was still an uncomfortable 5.66. In a season with just 60 games on the schedule, that early season weakness from a year ago cannot repeat itself or the Nats will be in big trouble. Daniel Hudson, a critical acquisition during the season, became...

BALTIMORE - To get a good idea how baseball has changed during the coronavirus pandemic, just take a glimpse inside a quick day trip up Interstate 95 for the Nationals as they took on the Orioles in their second exhibition game of summer training. The Nationals chartered five buses that left Nationals Park starting at 1 p.m. for the scheduled 6:05 p.m. first pitch at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. "Everybody was assigned a bus," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez on a Zoom call. "We had...

Strasburg consistent, if not overpowering, in win over O's (updated)
BALTIMORE - On a hot, muggy night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Stephen Strasburg didn't hit his usual mid-90s readings on his fastball, but he was consistent for five innings as the Nationals dropped the Orioles 4-2 in an exhibition game. Strasburg ended up throwing 81 pitches over five frames, 52 for strikes. Strasburg allowed one run on six hits with six strikeouts and no walks. His fastball was clocked around 92-93 mph, but his curveball and changeup were solid. The biggest factor was...
