Nationals maximize full arsenal of lefties to topple Dodgers

Nationals maximize full arsenal of lefties to topple Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - The Dodgers, as the Nationals saw firsthand last October, are awfully vulnerable against left-handed pitching. Even though they've improved somewhat in that regard this season, so many of their prominent batters swing from the left side of the plate that an opposing manager would be foolish not to play the matchups as much as possible when given the opportunity. Dusty Baker knew that heading into Monday night's game. And so - aided in part by the fact Koda Glover reported a sore...

Bullpen comes through for Nationals in 4-2 win over Dodgers (updated)

Bullpen comes through for Nationals in 4-2 win over Dodgers (updated)
LOS ANGELES - The outcome of this week's series at Dodger Stadium isn't going to have a dramatic effect on the Nationals' season. No matter the result, they're going to head home with a winning record on this long California trip and will be comfortably in first place in the National League East. There was an understanding, though, heading into tonight's opener that these next three days will serve as something of a measuring stick for a Nationals club that by luck of schedule and division...

Werth begins DL stint, Raburn gets start (Nationals win 4-2)

Werth begins DL stint, Raburn gets start (Nationals win 4-2)
LOS ANGELES - If you're looking for a bright spot about Jayson Werth landing on the disabled list, the fact he was able to ditch the crutches and walk around with his left foot in a protective boot today is at least somewhat encouraging. Werth was placed on the 10-day DL this afternoon, a move that was backdated to Sunday since he didn't play in the Nationals' series finale against the Athletics. Thus, he'll be eligible to return June 14, and the club is hopeful he'll be ready by...

Game 56 lineups: Nats at Dodgers

Game 56 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - Hello from Dodger Stadium, which looks resplendent as ever in this, its 56th year of existence. The Nationals have made their way down from the Bay Area after going 5-1 in San Francisco and Oakland. Now they face not only the toughest leg of this road trip but possibly their toughest test of the season to date in the red-hot Dodgers. The Nationals won't have Jayson Werth for this series after placing the veteran left fielder on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised left foot....

Werth going on DL with bruised foot, Raburn getting promoted

Werth going on DL with bruised foot, Raburn getting promoted
LOS ANGELES - Jayson Werth's left foot isn't seriously injured, but it is injured enough to require a stint on the disabled list. The Nationals have placed Werth on the 10-day DL with a bruised foot and promoted veteran outfielder Ryan Raburn from Triple-A Syracuse to fill his roster spot for tonight's series opener against the Dodgers. Werth fouled a ball off his foot in the ninth inning of Saturday's game in Oakland, then sat out Sunday's game. X-rays taken of his foot were negative for...

Monday morning notes on Roark, Werth and the Dodgers

Monday morning notes on Roark, Werth and the Dodgers
OAKLAND, Calif. - It got lost in the shuffle amid all those ninth-inning runs Sunday afternoon, but Tanner Roark pitched yet another impressive game and continues to resurrect what was beginning to look like a wayward season. With 7 2/3 strong innings against the Athletics, Roark extended his recent hot stretch and further distanced himself from the struggles that had consumed him only a few weeks ago. "He was in control," manager Dusty Baker said. For six innings, Roark certainly was. He...

After a crazy ninth in Oakland, Nats are "just glad that we won"

After a crazy ninth in Oakland, Nats are "just glad that we won"
OAKLAND, Calif. - This was going to be Tanner Roark's day, the latest in a string of dominant starts by the right-hander, who has turned his season around in the process. Then this was going to be Ryan Zimmerman's day, the latest in a string of clutch hits by the slugger, whose three-run homer off Ryan Madson in the top of the eighth inning got Roark off the hook and gave the Nationals a late lead over the Athletics. But these are the Nationals, after all, and games almost always seem to come...

Nationals hang on for wild 11-10 win over A's
OAKLAND, Calif. - Six years later, Ryan Zimmerman made Ryan Madson pay once again with a big blast late to win a ballgame for the Nationals. Facing the veteran reliever for the first time since 2011, Zimmerman launched a three-run homer down the left field line, breaking an eighth-inning tie and propelling the Nationals to what became a 11-10 victory over the Athletics after a wild ninth inning for both lineups. The blast was Zimmerman's 16th of the season, tied for the league lead and...

Harper returns after serving suspension in Vegas (Nats win 11-10)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Bryce Harper is back with the Nationals, back in the lineup after a four-day trip home to Las Vegas he never wanted to take but nonetheless tried to enjoy. "I'm just happy to be back," he said. "I'm definitely happy to be back here with the guys and to be able to play today. I'm glad that's out of the way and we can all move forward." Having served his full three-game suspension (with an off-day for the Nats in the middle of that) Harper was free to rejoin the team for...

OAKLAND, Calif. - It's a beautiful Sunday here in Oakland as the Nationals wrap up their weeklong trip to the Bay Area with one final game against the A's, looking to bounce back from yesterday's loss and win the three-game series before heading down to Los Angeles for the final leg of the road trip. And it's a beautiful day for the Nationals because Bryce Harper is back. Having served his three-game suspension, the young star is active again and back in his customary spot in the lineup....

With one-third of season complete, Nats like where they stand
OAKLAND, Calif. - The baseball season is long, and there are plenty of ups and downs, hot streaks and slumps for every player and every team through the course of a 162-game schedule. So it would be irresponsible to suggest that what we've seen so far from the Nationals, both on a team and individual level, is going to continue exactly the same way over the remainder of the season. But having made that caveat, we do have to point out that after Saturday's game, the Nationals' season reached...

Nationals face decision with ineffective Ross after 10-4 loss

Nationals face decision with ineffective Ross after 10-4 loss
OAKLAND, Calif. - There really is only one question the Nationals need to answer right now, in the wake of today's 10-4 loss to the Athletics. There may be other matters of minor significance to emerge from the game - most notably ninth-inning injuries to Jayson Werth (who fouled a ball off his left foot) and Daniel Murphy (who took a pitch off his right knee) - but the matter of most significance is this: What are they going to do about Joe Ross? Can a first-place club with the loftiest of...

Another ragged, and brief, outing for Ross (Nats lose, 10-4)

Another ragged, and brief, outing for Ross (Nats lose, 10-4)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Joe Ross' homecoming turned into a nightmare. Making his first major league start at the Oakland Coliseum, just 10 minutes from his childhood home, Ross was rocked by the Athletics and was pulled after only three laborious innings. Ross allowed seven runs (six earned), served up a pair of home runs and needed a whopping 82 pitches just to record nine outs in his latest ragged start, which leaves the Nationals now faced with a tough decision about how to proceed. This outing...

On Baker's 1,800th win, the sun in Oakland and Harper's return

On Baker's 1,800th win, the sun in Oakland and Harper's return
OAKLAND, Calif. - Dusty Baker didn't realize it until he was informed after the fact. But once the Nationals manager learned he had won his 1,800th career game Friday night, he - and others around him - couldn't help but appreciate the significance. "Now you think about it." Baker said. "My son was like: 'Dad, that's a lot of wins.' Chris Speier and the coaches were like: 'That's an awful lot of wins.' Now you start thinking about: Well, you might as well continue and get to 2,000....

Game 54 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Nationals proved they could hit the ball out of the Oakland Coliseum at night, when the air is thick and the temperatures drop. Now they'll see if they can do it under theoretically better conditions this afternoon when they face the A's in the second game of their weekend series and attempt to improve to 5-0 on this road trip. Actually, the better indicator of whether the Nats will have a big day at the plate might be the fact that Joe Ross is their starting pitcher...

For Oakland native Ross, Coliseum debut is special event
OAKLAND, Calif. - With all due respect to the multipurpose facility here that has gone by five different names during its five decades of existence, rarely is a ballplayer excited to make his first ever appearance at the Oakland Coliseum. Consider Joe Ross the exception to the rule. And for good reason. When Ross takes the mound at the Coliseum this afternoon for the Nationals, he'll be doing so only 10 minutes from his childhood home, inside the ballpark he came to countless times as a kid,...

Nats' latest offensive explosion includes five homers (updated)

Nats' latest offensive explosion includes five homers (updated)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Another late night on the West Coast, another impressive offensive performance, another dominant start. And, by extension, another convincing win for the Nationals. Tonight's 13-3 victory over the Athletics was the Nats' fourth straight to begin this nine-game swing through California. And like the previous three in San Francisco, it was never seriously in doubt. Michael A. Taylor, Daniel Murphy, Jayson Werth, Brian Goodwin and Anthony Rendon all homered to pace a balanced...

OAKLAND, Calif. - No Bryce Harper, no problem for the Nationals, who continue to rake at the plate no matter who's absent from the lineup. With Harper serving the second game of his three-game suspension, the Nats are still piling up hits in their series opener against the Athletics. They've already plated six runs on 10 hits through the game's first four innings, with production from nearly every starter. Michael A. Taylor and Daniel Murphy hit solo homers to get things started against A's...

Heisey pulled off rehab assignment, not ready to return from DL

Heisey pulled off rehab assignment, not ready to return from DL
OAKLAND, Calif. - Chris Heisey has rejoined the Nationals, but that doesn't mean he's about to rejoin the active roster. Heisey was pulled of his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg after only two games and four total at-bats, and flew to California to meet up with the Nats training and coaching staffs prior to tonight's series opener against the Athletics. Out since May 24 with a ruptured right biceps tendon, the veteran outfielder appears to need some more time to recover from the...

This is only the Nationals' second-ever trip here; they were swept back in May 2014. I wasn't covering that series, so this actually is my first time here since the 2002 playoffs. Let's just say it hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. The Nationals are hoping to bring their winning ways over from the other side of the bay after...
