Lopez tosses much-needed gem as Nats beat Braves 8-2

Lopez tosses much-needed gem as Nats beat Braves 8-2
ATLANTA - Salvation for the Nationals' overtaxed pitching staff came not from either of their aces, nor from an established big leaguer. No, when the Nats really needed a big-time pitching performance tonight, they turned to a 22-year-old flamethrower making his fourth career start. Reynaldo Lopez overwhelmed the Braves for the better part of seven innings, striking out 11 while allowing only one earned run, leading the Nationals to a much-needed 8-2 victory at Turner Field that was close...

Zimmerman, Lobaton set to return from DL on Friday
ATLANTA - Ryan Zimmerman and Jose Lobaton are on their way to Atlanta and are expected to be activated off the disabled list in time for Friday night's game at Turner Field, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said today. Both Zimmerman and Lobaton completed a three-day rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse, emerging with no issues and convincing club officials they're ready to return. "They're on the way now," Baker said prior to the Nationals series opener against the Braves. "There's a...

Freeman's stellar track record vs. Nats continued against ace Strasburg

Freeman's stellar track record vs. Nats continued against ace Strasburg
Freddie Freeman has Stephen Strasburg's number. He also likes hitting at Nats Park. Both trends continued in Friday's series opener. Freeman went 2-for-3 with a double and homer and four RBIs as Atlanta dropped the Nationals for the first time in seven matchups 8-5. Manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg labored in the sweltering temps, but in the end it was the Braves first baseman that caused the most damage. "It was too much Freddie Freeman," Baker said. "I was told before that Freddie has...

Freeman leads Braves past Strasburg 8-5

Freeman leads Braves past Strasburg 8-5
Stephen Strasburg had an opportunity to earn his career-high 16th victory if he could hold off the last-place Braves Friday night at Nat Park. But Freddie Freeman had other ideas as the Braves stunned the Nationals 8-5. It was the Nats first loss to the Braves in eight straight meetings. They were 6-0 versus Atlanta this season before Friday's setback. When Freeman faces off against the Nats, it usually hasn't worked out well for the Nats. In his career, Freeman has hit .324 with 25 doubles,...

Late extra-base hit by Bryce Harper downs Braves again 2-1

Late extra-base hit by Bryce Harper downs Braves again 2-1
Bryce Harper went hitless on Monday night. That is not going to happen very many times. Battling in a scoreless duel with the Braves, the Nationals slugger laced a double down the left field line in the eighth inning to score two runs as the Nationals downed Atlanta 2-1. Chants of "M-V-P! M-V-P!" erupted from a few of the 18,378 faithful on a chilly Tuesday night. Blake Treinen (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings for his second win. The Braves tallied a run in the ninth. Felipe Rivero recorded the...

Nats game blog: Nats need Tanner Roark to keep it going against the Braves
The Nationals look for their eighth straight win against the Braves this season in D.C. as they take to the field Friday night. Right-hander Tanner Roark will put on his starter cap for only the seventh time in 2015 tonight against Atlanta so Stephen Strasburg can have a couple of more days to rest. Last season, Roark won 15 games as a starter. Roark is 3-0 with a 1.90 ERA in 10 games (five starts) against the Braves. He is 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA at home against Atlanta in five games (two starts)....

Jordan Zimmermann's low pitch count in win helps prep for Mets

Jordan Zimmermann's low pitch count in win helps prep for Mets
Oftentimes, starting pitchers say they don't let the amount of runs their offense is scoring during their outing alter what they are trying to do on the mound. But when your team scores 10 runs in the first three frames, it doesn't hurt. Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann struggled with his control a bit early, he allowed three walks to the first five Atlanta hitters he faced, but battled through in a 15-1 Nationals win over the Braves. Despite the four walks allowed overall, he only surrendered...

Nats game blog: Nats look to continue roll vs. Braves as four-game series begins in D.C.
The Nationals return home with a chance to get on a roll against a struggling Atlanta Braves squad. The Braves are 54-79 and have lost 15 of their last 16 games. Washington comes home after going 1-2 against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Nationals led 5-3 in each of the first two games of the series, only to fall 8-5 each time. But Jonathan Papelbon got out of a first-and-third, one-out jam in the bottom of the ninth as the Nationals salvaged the finale, 4-3. Ryan Zimmerman went 3-for-4 with...

Desmond and Roark lift Nationals past Braves for NL East crown
The Nationals have done it again. For the second time in three seasons, after a 3-0 shutout of the Atlanta Braves, the Nationals have won the National League East. They become the first team to clinch a division title and a playoff berth in the 2014 major league postseason, and they were able to win the pennant on Atlanta's home turf of Turner Field. Ian Desmond smacked a towering two-run homer and Tanner Roark (14-10) twirled seven shutout innings as Washington eliminated Atlanta from...
