Roark made most of run support, LaRoche continues August surge

Roark made most of run support, LaRoche continues August surge
Tanner Roark got another early lead - the Nationals have scored 29 runs in the first inning in his starts, so it's becoming routine - but the right-hander couldn't gut his way through the sixth inning. He said he wasn't finishing pitches, was trying to be too perfect. And he paid the price. One bad inning made a 5-0 game much closer and substantially upped his pitch count. "I felt good, just trying to be too fine with my slider and my curveball today. ... Fastball was good, thought I had...

Nationals
Nats take 3-0 lead in first over Pirates (Nats win 5-4)
How's this for a statistic: The Nationals have scored 29 first-inning runs when Tanner Roark is on the mound. Adam LaRoche got the party started tonight, his RBI single scoring Asdrubal Cabrera to stake the Nats to a 1-0 lead. Denard Span led off the frame with a single, Cabrera walked and Span was thrown out trying to steal third before Anthony Rendon's single to right put runners at first and second. LaRoche followed with a single to center off Pirates righty Charlie Morton. Ian Desmond...

McLouth getting second opinion on ailing right shoulder
Outfielder Nate McLouth's inflamed right shoulder isn't responding as quickly to treatment as the Nationals had hoped, so he'll see another doctor to get a second opinion. McLouth, who signed a two-year, $10.75 million deal in December to be a fourth outfielder and defensive specialist for the Nats, has been on the 15-day disabled list since Aug. 4. He's hitting .173 with a home run and seven RBIs in 79 games. "The fact that he's going to go have a second look is concerning, of course,"...

Nationals
Nats, Mets locked in scoreless tie (Nats win 3-2)
We're three innings deep, and there's no score at Citi Field. Washington's Jordan Zimmermann and New York's Bartolo Colon are putting up zeros all around. The Nationals had a threat brewing in the top of the third when Wilson Ramos doubled and Kevin Farndsen singled, putting runners on the corners with no one out. But Zimmermann and Michael A. Taylor struck out and Asdrubal Cabrera grounded out to short to end the rally. Heading to the fourth, it's 0-0. Update: Kevin Frandsen dropped a fly...

Werth gets cortisone injection, Span gets a day off
Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth will miss at least a couple of days after receiving a cortisone injection this morning in his right shoulder to relieve inflammation in his sprained AC joint. Manager Matt Williams hopes the preventative treatment will "calm it down," allowing Werth to return to the lineup in short order. "He had an MRI last night, and all of that checked out really well," Williams said during his pregame meeting with reporters at New York's Citi Field. "But he's got...

Harper's homer gives Nats 2-0 lead (Nats homer four times in 7-1 win)
We've got both a no-doubt-about-it home run and a memorable first in the second inning. As a result, the Nationals have a 2-0 lead and rookie outfielder Michael A. Taylor has his first major league hit. Bryce Harper took care of the firepower, crushing a two-run homer to left field after Rafael Montero had walked Ian Desmond to lead off the frame. It's the fifth home run of the season for Harper. After Wilson Ramos struck out, Taylor bounced a single up the middle, his first hit coming in his...

Keri's "Up, Up, & Away" should be required reading for Nats fans
Baseball is a game dominated by numbers: match-ups between pitchers and batters, forgettable and memorable streaks, and win-loss records, especially during the dog days of August. But statistics are only one facet of the national pastime; they help frame and shape the game, but they don't define it. Though we're caught between old-school stats and the sabermetric revolution - where there seems to be a number to explain everything, however convoluted the reasoning behind the figure - nothing...

Shorebirds' Horacek, thinking man's pitcher, nearing Ivy League degree in economics and engineering
SALISBURY, Md. - Mitch Horacek prefers to live in the present, believing that philosophy is a pitcher's best friend. Ignore the call the umpire didn't give you on the batter now standing at first base, even though he might have been the third out of the inning. Forget about the slugger waiting in the on-deck circle in a one-run game. Just focus on the here and now, says the Single-A Delmarva left-hander, and you'll be fine. Not that it's so easy, mind you. "The hardest part is trying to...

Werth on his ankle and availability
Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth thinks his sprained right ankle is a "minor" injury and hopes he'll be available off the bench tonight. Werth hurt the ankle in the seventh inning of last night's game, and is out of tonight's starting lineup. He had hoped the ankle would feel better this morning, but that wasn't the case. Instead, Werth said, it was "sore, sore and swollen." "It was a lot sorer than I thought it was going to be," he told reporters in Miami this afternoon....

Good outweighs bad as Nats claim series win over Reds (updated)
If someone had told you that the Nationals were going to go to Cincinnati, fail to hit a home run over three games and run into outs like 2007 Nook Logan (still my favorite Charlie Slowes call of all time), would you have expected two wins in a three-game series? Luckily, seven shutout innings by right-hander Doug Fister on Sunday bailed out the baserunning mistakes of Anthony Rendon (trying to move up on Jayson Werth's grounder in the first after walking and swiping second) and Denard Span...
