Williams gets first ejection of managerial career (Nats blank Brewers 3-0)
Matt Williams won't be around to watch the remainder of the Nationals' first game of a seven-game road trip. Between the top and bottom halves of the second inning, Williams was ejected after a prolonged and animated discussion with home plate umpire Mark Wegner over his interpretation of the strike zone in an inning during which the Nationals loaded the bases with none out - and still failed to score. The key point that Williams seemed to repeatedly make was that Wegner called a 3-2 pitch to...

Zimmerman feels good after taking grounders at third base
Ryan Zimmerman was back at third base during pregame drills before the opener of a three-game series against the Brewers at Miller Park, and said he felt good after taking 15-20 ground balls at his former position. "This is the first time I've thrown in - I don't know, probably since I don't remember. ... It's been a while, just because there's been no reason," Zimmerman said. "But, yeah, it felt good. Everything went fine." Zimmerman said he would ramp up his activity at third base in...

Nationals
Aggressive Nats grab 1-0 lead in first (Nats rally for 6-5 win)
We're off and running at Nationals Park, and the Nationals have a 1-0 lead after the opening inning. And when I say running, I mean running - to the tune of three stolen bases in the first inning. Denard Span got the first, although it took a video replay challenge by manager Matt Williams to make it official, and Anthony Rendon swiped a pair. Span led off by drawing a leadoff walk, stole second and advanced to third on Rendon's single. Rendon swiped second when Jayson Werth struck out, and...

Nats limp home after 5-5 road trek on four-game skid
So much for momentum. The Nationals finished off a 5-5 road trip this afternoon with a 5-2 loss to the Cardinals, who have taken 12 of the last 14 regular season games between the teams. It's Washington's fourth straight loss after starting the trek 5-2 through San Diego and San Francisco. Doug Fister saw a streak of five straight wins halted, Ryan Zimmerman made a couple of nice plays in his first career game at first base and the Nats had a chance to do some damage in the ninth inning, but...

Nationals
Another Adams homer, another Nats deficit (Cards win 5-2)
The Nationals had the bases loaded with one out in the second, and failed to push a run across in a scoreless tie. In the bottom half of the inning, they paid for it. Allen Craig singled up the middle and Matt Adams launched a two-run homer to right off Doug Fister. Yes, the same Adams who homered on Friday and Saturday. That's three games in a row with home runs since he was activated off the disabled list Friday. Fister stranded runners at second and third to escape further damage in the...

Zimmerman makes first career start at first base (Span scratched)
The Nationals will try to avoid the sweep today in St. Louis, sending right-hander Doug Fister to the mound. Fister is 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA in his last five starts. He'll have a markedly different alignment supporting him, starting with third baseman-turned-left fielder Ryan Zimmerman, who is making his first career start at first base and batting cleanup. With left-hander Jaime Garcia pitching for the Cardinals, lefty swinging Adam LaRoche gets a day off. The Nationals gave Zimmerman regular...

Nats grab early 1-0 lead against Cards, Miller (Nats fall 4-1)
Well, the Nationals won't be blanked for a second consecutive game. Not only that, the run they scored gives them a lead before Stephen Strasburg throws his first pitch of the evening. With one out in the first, Anthony Rendon laced an opposite-field single to right, then scored from first standing up on Jayson Werth's double to right. It's 1-0 Nats as we head to the bottom of the first. Update: After three innings, we're tied at 1-1. Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller hit a two-out double to...

Strasburg takes hill against Cardinals (with lineups)
The Nationals are 5-3 on their current road trip, and send right-hander Stephen Strasburg to the mound today in St. Louis to try and snap a two-game losing streak. Strasburg is 6-4 with a 2.99 ERA, but he has a string of 10 straight starts in which he's worked at least six innings. Six times in that span, he's pitched at least seven innings. His 108 strikeouts are second in the National League behind Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto, who has 109. Strasburg has won his last three starts and the...

It's pouring right now at Camden Yards. No, pouring may be too tame a word. The rain is coming down so hard that I can barely see the tour group stuck in the visitors dugout from my fifth-floor Warehouse window. I don't know about you, but I can't see the tarp on the field in the middle of a rainstorm and not think of ex-Orioles catcher and current MASN broadcaster Rick Dempsey, who turned rain delay boredom into laugh-inducing pantomime on many a major league diamond. Sometimes Dempsey...

Defensively, Leon threw out...

Williams weighs in on Ramos' injury and his workout regimen
Wilson Ramos will need seven to 10 days to recover from a right hamstring strain, so the Nationals have placed their oft-injured catcher on the 15-day disabled list and will suggest that he modifies his workout routine to incorporate more running in hopes of preventing future hamstring injuries. "He got an MRI this morning and officially it's a Grade 1 strain of his hamstring," manager Matt Williams told reporters this afternoon in San Francisco. "It's the opposite side of his previous...

Hamstring issue will send Ramos to DL
Wilson Ramos is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring problem. The Nationals catcher injured himself legging out a double Tuesday night in San Francisco. He was removed from the game as a precaution with right hamstring tightness, and told reporters at AT&T Park today that he was heading to the DL with a hamstring issue for the third time in two seasons. Ultimately, the Nationals opted for a DL stint because they needed two healthy catchers. Sandy Leon is expected to be...

Williams on Fister's impact on rotation, Rendon's possible return
Remember that groan-inducing split right-hander Doug Fister pulled out of his hip pocket in his last start against Philadelphia, the play that reminded people that Fister was a nimble first baseman in junior college? If Nationals manager Matt Williams has his way, you won't be seeing it any more. While discussing Fister's impact on the Nats rotation since his return from a lat injury this afternoon in San Francisco, talk turned toward the pitcher's all-out aggressiveness - on the mound and...

Desmond, Strasburg spark 9-2 rout of Giants
It didn't take long for the Nationals to break on top at AT&T Park. Denard Span led off the first with a double to right off Ryan Vogelsong, took third on Kevin Frandsen's groundout to second and scored when Jayson Werth doubled to left. The Nationals now turn to right-hander Stephen Strasburg to see if he can keep the Giants at bay. Strasburg entered the game as the strikeout leader in the National League with 101 punchouts. Update: It's 2-0 in the second, after Ian Desmond tripled home...
