One outing at a time, Treinen trending in the right direction
In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world of relievers, where short memories are as essential as putaway pitches, a couple of good outings are something positive to build on. For right-hander Blake Treinen, who began the season as the Nationals closer and then found himself pitching in low-leverage situations when he couldn't handle the pressures of the ninth inning, back-to-back scoreless outings this week brought added cause for hope. "The last couple of outings, ... I feel, stuff-wise,...

Pair of back injuries complicate things for Baker, Nats

Nationals
Pair of back injuries complicate things for Baker, Nats
The sight of Joe Ross standing in the batter's box as the Nationals' last hope in the 11th inning signified that something was wrong with Ryan Zimmerman. But it turns out that the balky back that prevented Zimmerman from playing in Saturday's 6-3 11-inning loss to the Rangers wasn't the only back problems the Nats are dealing with. Closer Koda Glover, who was unable to hold a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning, tweaked his back while showering before Saturday's game, tried to gut through the...

Scoreless after three innings (Rangers win 6-3)

Nationals
Scoreless after three innings (Rangers win 6-3)
We're through three scoreless innings at Nationals Park, and if the early going is any indication, the hitters aren't adjusting too well to the 12:05 p.m. start time after a Friday night game. Both the Nationals' Gio Gonzalez and the Rangers' Martín Pérez have faced the minimum nine batters, with each team getting a hit and having that player erased on a caught stealing. Gonzalez has thrown 50 pitches and Pérez 49. Elvis Andrus singled with two down in the first for the game's...

Baker on Nationals' challenges and son Darren's draft future
Because of last night's late game and tonight's Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Gala, the Nationals weren't required to report to the home clubhouse until 10 a.m. for this afternoon's 12:05 p.m. game against the Rangers. But by 9:30 a.m., a steady stream of Nationals were saddling up to their lockers, readying for the middle game of the three-game interleague series. Talk about your businesslike approach. It's June 10 and the Nationals have a 10 1/2-game lead over the Braves in the...

Nationals
Game 61 lineups: Nats vs. Rangers
If the Nationals want to square their weekend interleague series with the Rangers - and give themselves a chance to win the three-game set after dropping Friday night's opener - they'll need left-hander Gio Gonzalez to do the heavy lifting. Gonzalez (5-1, 3.03 ERA) is enjoying a renaissance season, but he's fallen off a bit after a stellar April that saw him work at least six innings in all five of his starts and post a 3-0 record with a 1.62 ERA. When the calendar flipped to April, Gonzalez...

Nationals
Roark struggles, defense falters and Nats pay price in 5-2 loss
As losses go - especially for a team that's been streaking and putting together so many impressive wins - Friday's 5-2 defeat to the Rangers was out of character for the Nationals. Tanner Roark flirted with danger through six innings and a batter, allowing 11 hits and stranding 10 baserunners. His defense betrayed him, with two errors contributing to three unearned runs - or the difference in the game. By their own admission, the Nationals didn't look like themselves. If it was second-day...

Rangers get to Roark early (Nats fall 5-2)
If the Nationals are going to prevail in the first game of their weekend interleague series against the Rangers, they're going to have to come from behind. Texas leads 1-0 after three innings, parlaying three consecutive singles in the third inning off Tanner Roark into the early edge. Elvis Andrus led off the inning with an infield hit to short, moved to third on Nomar Mazara's single to right and scored on Jonathan Lucroy's single to center. Roark got Rougned Odor to hit into a 4-6-3...

Nationals
Nationals hitters appreciate stretch of deep starts by pitchers
Deep starts are especially welcome over the course of a long season because they keep relievers fresh and allow manager Dusty Baker to set up his bullpen for maximum effect. When starting pitchers work into the sixth and seventh innings - or beyond - Baker is able to play the match-up game with his bullpen arms and take some of the pressure off rookie closer Koda Glover. But the recent run of strong starting performances has had another effect. In addition to creating a pass-the-baton scenario...

Game 60 lineups: Rangers at Nats
At first blush, tonight's opener of an interleague series between the Rangers and Nationals looks like a classic mismatch. Washington has won eight of 10 games, while Texas, which has dropped 11 of 14, is straggling along at five games under .500 and trying to avoid falling into the American League West basement. Well, we all know games aren't played on paper, and the Rangers are just the kind of pesky foe that can turn what looks to be a surefire win into a trap game. It wouldn't be...

Baker on recoveries of Werth, Blanton and Solís
Left fielder Jayson Werth remains on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised left foot, and Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Thursday that he didn't expect the veteran's recovery to move at a rapid pace given the nature and placement of his injury. "It's not going to be quick," Baker said before the Nats hosted the Orioles in a makeup of the rained-out May 11 game. "Anybody that's ever hurt their toe, it heals the slowest. The circulation there, it looks ugly. We're not planning on...

The Nationals return home from a successful nine-game West Coast road swing through San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles with a 7-2 record. But instead of the scheduled off-day, they've got a makeup game against the Orioles, the result of a postponement from May 11. Technically, this will be their third series against the Orioles this season - the second season in a row that has happened thanks to inclement weather. The two-game series at Camden Yards from May 8-9 counts as one series and...

As a starting pitcher, Ulbado Jiménez is used to doing the heavy lifting. But on Tuesday, the Orioles right-hander did some actual straining and grunting - all for a good cause that is near and dear to his heart. Jiménez visited Dunloggin Middle School to help eighth-grade students pack donations of gently used baseball equipment given to the Oriole Advocates' Cardboard to Leather program for distribution in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. The Ubaldo Jiménez Foundation recently...
