Game 134 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

Game 134 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals found a way to create a rally with three outs to play and surprised the Marlins 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth thanks to another clutch hit from Anthony Rendon. Now the Nats go for a series clincher tonight as right-hander Stephen Strasburg looks to set a career-high this season in wins at 16. Strasburg is 15-5 with a 3.63 ERA. He has 201 strikeouts this season. It marks the third time in his career he has fired 200 or more strikeouts in a season, his best was 242 in 2014. He has...

Sánchez not as pitch efficient, but still able to keep Marlins at bay

Sánchez not as pitch efficient, but still able to keep Marlins at bay
There was nothing easy about what Aníbal Sánchez needed to do to get outs Friday night. But then again, he deserves credit for holding the Marlins to only two runs on three hits. But in five innings, Sánchez had to spend 94 pitches. He left with the lead, but the Nationals bullpen could not keep the Marlins off the board. Miami rallied from a 3-1 deficit to lead the Nats in the ninth, 6-5. Then Anthony Rendon saved the day with an amazing two-run single in the bottom of the ninth to...

Hudson highlights up-and-down night for Nats bullpen

Hudson highlights up-and-down night for Nats bullpen
Reliever Daniel Hudson allowed a two-run home run in the ninth inning Friday night that erased a late Nationals lead. But the veteran held steady and focused on finding a way to bounce back, getting out of the inning and limiting the damage. Hudson was able to record three consecutive outs to allow his club the opportunity to overcome a deficit. Anthony Rendon's two-run single did just that in the bottom of the ninth, and the Nationals came back to drop the Marlins 7-6. Leading 5-4 heading...

Relentless hitting helps Sánchez early on (Nats win 7-6)

Relentless hitting helps Sánchez early on (Nats win 7-6)
The Nationals used methodical hitting to take the lead early on against the last-place Marlins. After Harold Ramirez smacked a solo shot off of Aníbal Sánchez in the first to give the Marlins the lead, the Nats retaliated with three singles in a row in the bottom of the first. Trea Turner, Gerardo Parra and Anthony Rendon singled off Marlins starter Elieser Herandez to tie the game at 1-1. RBI groundouts by Asdrúbal Cabrera and Turner made it 3-1 Nats. Victor Robles' double to lead...

Austen Williams close to all the way back, preps now for 2020

Austen Williams close to all the way back, preps now for 2020
It was good to see Austen Williams back in the Nationals clubhouse during the Orioles series. The right-hander has missed 116 games on the injured list with a sprained right AC joint shoulder injury. He was originally put on the IL on April 19. The Texas State hurler appeared in two games against the Giants April 16-17 and got shelled, allowing six runs on five hits with just one out recorded. Incredibly, his ERA is listed at 162.00. After those games he felt significant shoulder soreness. The...

Suzuki's bat sets tone in Nats' 8-4 win over Orioles

Suzuki's bat sets tone in Nats' 8-4 win over Orioles
The Nationals offense returned to form Wednesday night in an 8-4 win over the Orioles, courtesy the big inning again. The Nats stamped their impression on Baltimore starter Asher Wojciechowski with five runs in the first inning and three more tallies in the fifth inning off of Richard Bleier. Both rallies were highlighted by big hits from veteran catcher Kurt Suzuki. Suzuki slammed a two-run homer to left field in the first frame and then added a two-run double to left field in the fifth...

Scherzer believes scaling back a bit now will pay dividends in October

Scherzer believes scaling back a bit now will pay dividends in October
Facing the Orioles, Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer threw 89 pitches in his second start since returning from the injured list. It was a step forward from the 71 pitches he threw Aug. 22 at Pittsburgh. Scherzer got into the fifth inning of the Nationals' 8-4 win over the Orioles. "A little better," Scherzer said of his start. "Still trying to be under control. Really focused about making it through kind of five innings, trying to get up for a fifth inning tonight, and recover and see...

Nats grab early lead, but lose Eaton to injury (Nats win 8-4)
The Nationals got off to the quick start manager Davey Martinez was hoping for tonight against the Orioles, grabbing a 5-0 lead in the first inning. With one out in the bottom of the first, Adam Eaton was hit by a pitch. Anthony Rendon doubled on a sharp line drive to center field. Eaton pulled up lame as he gingerly jogged into third base. He had to leave the game with what appeared to be an injury to his right leg. Gerardo Parra replaced him as a pinch-runner and took over in right...

Adams has contusion, Zimmerman playing nine innings for P-Nats
Nationals first baseman Matt Adams was hit by a pitch Tuesday night in the fourth inning of the 2-0 loss to the Orioles. Afterward, Adams was seen gingerly heading to first base. Tonight, manager Davey Martinez has started veteran Asdrúbal Cabrera at first base, saying Adams is favoring his right leg a bit. "He's got a little contusion," Martinez said. "His knee is banged up a little bit. So rather than let him start and then all of a sudden something happens we will use him off the...

Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman played nine innings again Tuesday night in the high Single-A Potomac Nats' 8-5 loss at home to Myrtle Beach. It was the seventh game in this current rehab assignment for Zimmerman, who is recovering from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Zimmerman went 1-for-4 with a single, sac fly RBI and a run scored. He is hitting .375 (7-for-20) during this seven-game stretch. The Nats could activate the 34-year-old veteran this week or wait until Sunday,...

Corbin bounces back from rocky first inning, finishes seven in 2-0 loss
The first inning did not go Patrick Corbin's way, but it could have been worse. The Nationals left-hander allowed two runs to the Orioles in that first frame, but escaped the inning and then fired six scoreless innings. In the end, the Nats offense could not muster any runs against Orioles starter Aaron Brooks and four relievers as Baltimore stunned the Nats 2-0. Orioles third baseman Hanser Alberto went after Corbin's first offering, a 91.9 mph two-seam fastball, smacking the pitch into...

Corbin down early, finishes seven innings (Nats trail 2-0)

Corbin down early, finishes seven innings (Nats trail 2-0)
It seems that when Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin ever gets into trouble, it happens early. The Orioles got to Corbin very early in Tuesday's series opener. Hanser Alberto singled on the game's first pitch. Corbin then hit Trey Mancini with a pitch. Anthony Santander doubled to deep left field to score Alberto and the Orioles led 1-0. One batter later, Jonathan Villar's line drive sacrifice fly to center field brought home Mancini to make it 2-0 Orioles. The Nationals looked like they...

Doolittle's arm feels "a lot better," simulated game scheduled for Wednesday
The Nationals returned home after a successful road swing to more good news. Closer Sean Doolittle is making steady progress in his recovery from right knee tendinitis that has kept him on the shelf since August 18. "I've been staying pretty busy. Kind of the general, overall philosophy we've been working on is rather than like sitting around and letting it rest, I think the best way to handle it was to kick start the engine a little bit," Doolittle said at his locker prior to tonight's...

Denaburg has shoulder strain, Nats source confirms
Right-hander Mason Denaburg has a shoulder strain, according to a Nationals source, and is not throwing at this time. His last game for the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Nationals was Aug. 3. The 2018 first-round Nats selection will continue his rehab for the time being and the organization says it will continue to assess his recovery. The GCL Nats only have four more games remaining on their schedule. Denaburg will likely continue his rehab workouts at the facility in West Palm Beach,...

Nationals wait to help young pitchers who tip
The Nationals sometimes see their prospects tip pitches in the minor leagues. But the Nats prefer to let their young pitchers go for a while before they adjust anything. They do not like to mess with mechanics, approach or glove positioning early on. Instead, they let them get into a good rhythm, establish some confidence, build on success, then make the minor tweaks to prevent hitters from seeing patterns between the fastball and their off-speed pitches. In the second part of our series, we...

How the Nats and Strasburg diagnosed tipped pitches

How the Nats and Strasburg diagnosed tipped pitches
On Aug. 3, 2019, the Diamondbacks rolled past the Nats 18-7. The lowlight for Washington: One of their hottest pitchers, Stephen Strasburg, was lit up to the tune of nine runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings. In a season with 15 wins, it was by far his worst outing to date in 2019. Arizona crushed five extra-base hits in that game, including a two-run shot by Eduardo Escobar, a solo shot from Nick Ahmed and a three-run homer by Jake Lamb. Ketel Marte delivered a triple and David Peralta a...

Baseball taking notice of Robles and his game-changing defense

Baseball taking notice of Robles and his game-changing defense
It happened in a flash. With Reds pinch-hitter José Peraza standing at first base, thanks to a walk, center fielder Victor Robles came on for a ball in shallow right field to pick up a single off the bat of Reds outfielder Jesse Winker. Peraza saw how far Robles had to go toward the right field area and took his cue to round second base and charge for third. Robles gathered the ball, and with his momentum still pushing him toward the right field line, turned and fired a strike to third...
