Wrapping up Nats in AFL, including Garcia, Banks and Sharp in title game
MLB.com recently ranked the top 25 prospects who played in the Arizona Fall League. Surprise Saguaros shortstop Luis Garcia was ranked No. 15. He is the Nationals' No. 2 prospect behind Carter Kieboom and ranked No. 91 overall. "Garcia scuffled in Double-A this season as a 19-year-old but looked better in the Fall League," wrote MLB.com. "Though he has yet to tap into his solid raw power, the rest of his tools all could be at least above average once he's fully developed." Surprise lost...

Rendon and Scherzer are finalists for postseason accolades
Right-hander Max Scherzer is a finalist for the National League Cy Young Award and third baseman Anthony Rendon is one of three finalists for NL Most Valuable Player, but the Nationals got as many snubs as finalists when the top three finishers for Baseball Writers' Association of America awards were announced live on MLB Network tonight. Manager Davey Martinez wasn't listed among the top three vote-getters for NL Manager of the Year and right-hander Stephen Strasburg was not among from the...

Rizzo had chance to reflect and savor during Nats' victory parade
The final bus turned the corner and came to a stop behind the stage on 3rd Street NW for the team rally during Saturday's victory parade to celebrate the Nationals' first World Series title. General manager Mike Rizzo got off the double decker bus and met with the media with a cigar in his mouth and a smile from ear to ear. "It's the best feeling I've ever had in professional sports," Rizzo said. "It's just amazing. We talk about a lot of things: chemistry, performance and this and...

A look back at how Nats worked around injuries to win first title

A look back at how Nats worked around injuries to win first title
The amazing run of the Washington Nationals in 2019 is made even more amazing when one looks back at the state of the standings May 23. The Nats trailed the Brewers by 9 1/2 games for a National League wild card spot and the Marlins, winners of six in a row, had crept with 1 1/2 games of their 19-31 record. But with persistence, belief and a slow return of their starting lineup to full health, the Nats turned their season around and found a way to grab the top wild card spot for home field...

Nats need offense to ignite for shot at Game 6 win
The Nationals look to pull off the big upset again tonight as they return to Minute Maid Park for Game 6 of the 2019 World Series against the Astros. They have one of their top starters heading to the mound in Stephen Strasburg, who has put together a 4-0 record with a 1.93 ERA in five games this postseason. His career record in postseason play is astounding: 5-2 with a 1.34 ERA in eight games (seven starts) with 64 strikeouts in 47 innings. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman on his confidence level...

Even with a career high in starts, Strasburg ready for biggest one
The Nationals now move to Game 6 in Houston, down three games to two in the best-of-seven World Series. They face an elimination game versus the Astros on Tuesday night, their fourth of these playoffs. And they have their second ace on the mound in an attempt to survive. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg has been very good this postseason, rolling up a 4-0 record with a 1.93 ERA in five game (four starts). In his first World Series start against the Astros last week, Strasburg allowed just two...

Ross was close to striking out Correa second time before game-changing blast

Ross was close to striking out Correa second time before game-changing blast
After Max Scherzer was felled by neck and trapezius spasms early Sunday morning, right-hander Joe Ross was pressed into service as an emergency starter and did his best to keep the Nationals in Game 5 of the World Series. But a pair of two-run homers were more than enough for the Houston Astros, as they took control of the series with a 7-1 victory at Nats Park before 43,910. They now lead the best-of-seven series three games to two. Yordan Alvarez smacked a two-run shot in the second and...

The Astros struck first in Game 5 of the World Series off Nationals starter Joe Ross. With one out in the second, Yuri Gurriel reached base thanks to an infield single that glanced off of Ross. Yordan Alvarez, making his first start in the series in the field, belted a two-run homer to left-center field. The Nats started the second inning in promising fashion with singles from Juan Soto and Howie Kendrick. But right-hander Gerrit Cole struck out Ryan Zimmerman and Victor Robles grounded into a...

Suzuki rested and available for Game 5, but Martinez sticks with Gomes
The Nationals were able to get catcher Kurt Suzuki a full day of rest Saturday after he tweaked his right hip flexor in Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros on Friday night at Nats Park. Yan Gomes caught on Saturday during the Nats' 8-1 setback that evened the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. He'll be behind the plate again tonight catching Joe Ross, who was handed the starting assignment when Max Scherzer was scratched with spasms in his neck and right trapezius...

Scherzer prepared to "stay in the moment" in tonight's crucial Game 5 start
In Game 1 of the World Series on Oct. 22, Nationals ace Max Scherzer ended up throwing 112 pitches to record 15 outs. The Astros scored two runs in the first inning. But after that, Houston managed only three hits off Scherzer. The Nats held on for a 5-4 victory. Manager Davey Martinez said Scherzer has been working since right after Game 1 to this point devising a plan for adjustments to the way he went after Houston that first time around. "After the first game, he's already sat down and...

Waiting on Corbin, Astros jump out to early lead in 8-1 win
From the first seven batters he faced, it was not a smooth start for Patrick Corbin. The Astros put together four base hits in a row, scoring two runs in the first inning. Then Astros backstop Robinson Chirinos blasted a two-run shot in the fourth inning. Houston built an early 4-0 lead in Game 4 of the World Series, cruising to an 8-1 victory to even the best-of-seven Fall Classic at two games apiece. The Nationals southpaw battled back, recording nine outs in a row to end his outing, but with...

Astros greet Corbin rudely in the first (Nats fall 8-1)
World Series Game 4 certainly did not start the way the Nationals manager Davey Martinez had hoped. He wanted early runs, just not by the Astros. Facing left-hander Patrick Corbin in the first, Houston connected on four straight singles, highlighted by an RBI base knock by Alex Bregman and an infield single from Yuri Gurriel that scored another run. Corbin wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam by inducing a double play ground out to third baseman Anthony Rendon. Houston scored two runs and pounded...

The Nationals dropped their first playoff game in their last nine - and first at home since Oct. 6 - in Friday night's 4-1 setback to the American League champion Astros in Game 3 of the World Series. Tonight they will hand the ball to Patrick Corbin, who finished off the Cardinals 7-4 on Oct. 15 and has already recorded three outs in Game 1 of this series. Corbin said the 21 pitches he threw in Game 1 amounted to an in-game bullpen session and believes he is well-rested for this next...
