Game 35 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies

Game 35 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
This turned into a busier Saturday than initially expected, what with the surprise announcement that the Nationals and Bryce Harper have agreed to terms on a contract for 2018, buying out his final year of arbitration for $21.625 million. That agreement, general manager Mike Rizzo said, should give Harper some comfort and peace of mind as he takes the field every day for the rest of this season. That begins tonight when Harper and the Nationals host the Phillies in a series opener that was...

Game 35 lineups: Phillies at Nats

Game 35 lineups: Phillies at Nats
Right-hander Tanner Roark seeks his fourth win in the season as he faces off against the Phillies Friday night. He will be opposed by former Nationals fourth round selection right-hander Nick Pivetta (0-2, 5.40 ERA). Thursday's game against the Orioles was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up June 8. The weather forecast tonight appears to show a good chance of precipitation at scheduled game time. Stay tuned to my Twitter handle (@masnkerr) for updates. Left fielder...

Game 35 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
To answer the question you all want answered: I have no idea. It's been raining all day. It's supposed to continue raining through most of the night. The tarp is covering the infield. But no word yet about the status of tonight's series finale between the Nationals and Orioles. As always, stay tuned. As soon as we know anything, you'll know it. Promise. If they play, it'll be A.J. Cole on the mound for the Nationals, trying to keep this potent Orioles lineup in check and give his own...

Game 34 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Game 34 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
After a couple of frustrating losses in Baltimore, the Nationals now come home for the second half of this year's Battle of the Beltways, hoping to at least salvage a four-game split of the season series with the Orioles (which would match the best they've done against their interleague rivals for the last decade). Stephen Strasburg gets the start tonight, hoping to do what Max Scherzer did last night during a dominant performance. And then Dusty Baker can only hope his lineup scores enough...

Game 33 lineups: Nats at Orioles

Game 33 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - Not that they're in any kind of serious trouble right now, but the Nationals have lost two in a row and certainly would prefer not to extend that streak to three (not to mention drop both games they'll be playing at Camden Yards this season). So there's just a hint of pressure on them tonight to beat the Orioles. The good news: Max Scherzer is on the mound, and he was electric last time out against a tough Diamondbacks lineup. The two-time Cy Young Award winner also has had...

Game 32 lineups: Nats at Orioles

Game 32 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - The Nationals and Orioles don't typically play each other this early in the season. It's usually quite warm and muggy when the Nats make their annual trek to Camden Yards, and it most definitely is not warm nor muggy today. But no matter the temperature, this always remains a great place to hit, and so the majors' most productive lineup should be licking its chops at the prospect of taking some hacks here for the next two nights. The Nationals have Bryce Harper back in the lineup...

Game 31 lineups: Nats at Phillies
PHILADELPHIA - The Nationals have gotten off to some good starts in recent years (think 2012, 2014, 2016) but they've never gotten off to a start as good as this one. Yes, at 21-9 the Nats have produced their best record through 30 games not only in club history but in franchise history (that includes the Expos years). That they've been able to do this in spite of the bullpen issues, the fifth starter issues and the Adam Eaton injury should serve as some significant evidence just how good...

Orioles and White Sox lineups

Orioles and White Sox lineups
After reaching base five times in last night's game, Seth Smith remains atop the Orioles lineup for tonight's opener of a weekend series against the White Sox. Hyun Soo Kim is starting in left field. Former Orioles pitcher Miguel González pitches for the White Sox, opposing left-hander Wade Miley. In case you're counting, there are three Garcías in the starting lineup for the White Sox. Avasaíl García is serving as the designated hitter, Willy García is playing left field and...

Game 29 lineups: Nats at Phillies
PHILADELPHIA - As was the case in Washington, it poured in Philadelphia this morning. But as is the case in D.C., the rain has mostly cleared out now and so the Nationals and Phillies shouldn't have much trouble getting the opener of their weekend series in tonight at Citizens Bank Park. If and when they play, Stephen Strasburg will be on the mound for the Nats in a ballpark in which he has enjoyed an awful lot of success. Strasburg has 1.64 ERA in seven career starts here, including seven...

Game 28 lineups: Diamondbacks at Nats

Game 28 lineups: Diamondbacks at Nats
The Nationals are seeking their fourth home series victory today on Weather Day at Nats Park. National League Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer faces his former club, looking for his fourth win of the season. He arrives 3-2 with a 2.94 ERA. Scherzer pitched in Arizona in 2008-09. Right-hander Braden Shipley makes his first start of 2017 for the Diamondbacks, called up from the minors. He is 4-5 with a 5.27 ERA in 11 career starts (13 games). Shipley is a 2013 first-round selection out of...

Game 27 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks

Game 27 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
As impressive as Ryan Zimmerman was in April, there was no bigger surprise on the Nationals roster in the season's first month than Gio Gonzalez. After a ragged 2016, Gonzalez burst onto the scene to begin this year, going 3-0 with a 1.62 ERA in five starts. Now we find out if the lefty can keep it going and not fall back into the same traps that befell him last season after a strong start. He'll face a tough challenge tonight in the Diamondbacks, who, as we saw last night, can grind out...

Game 26 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
After the most impressive offensive week and month in their history, the Nationals start anew tonight when they host the Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game series. This is a good Arizona club that comes to town with the National League's second-ranked offense and second-ranked pitching staff. One of those pitchers is Taijuan Walker, who takes the mound tonight. The young right-hander and former top Mariners prospect has opened the season 3-1 with a 3.94 ERA, having struck out 33...

Game 25 lineups: Nats vs. Mets (updated)

Game 25 lineups: Nats vs. Mets (updated)
The tide has turned for the Nationals, who in the last 48 hours have not only lost Adam Eaton to a season-ending ACL tear but also have lost two straight to the previously collapsing Mets. Now they need a win today just to avoid a three-game sweep. They'll be asking Joe Ross to bounce back from a ragged start in Colorado in which the right-hander lost velocity and appeared to lose stamina earlier than normal. Was that the thin Coors Field air or cause for concern? We'll perhaps get a better...

Game 23 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
When the Nationals last played in D.C., Blake Treinen was the closer, Trea Turner was on the disabled list, Joe Ross was in the minors, the Capitals and Maple Leafs were only two games into their first-round playoff series, the Wizards hadn't opened their playoff run yet and the Nats needed Bryce Harper's walk-off homer to avoid falling to .500. So, basically, nothing has really changed since then, right? Who knew the Nationals' 10-game road trip through Atlanta, New York and Colorado would...

Game 22 lineups: Nats at Rockies
DENVER - Left-hander Gio Gonzalez takes to the hill on a getaway day here at Coors Field. The Nationals have an opportunity to go 9-1 on this 10-game road trip with a win today. It is also Science Day here at Coors Field, with thousands of school children coming through the gates three hours and 40 minutes before first pitch. There is, however, a good chance of precipitation. Snow is in the forecast this weekend in Denver. The Nationals' 15-6 record is tied for their best start in franchise...

NEW YORK - The Nationals are on Sunday Night Baseball, looking to complete a series sweep of the Mets and head out to Colorado on a seven-game winning streak. Max Scherzer gets the ball for this finale at Citi Field, looking forward to facing New York on the big national TV stage. Scherzer has been phenomenal against the Mets in his career, going 5-3 with a 1.83 ERA in 11 games (10 starts). Zack Wheeler makes his first start against the Nationals since 2014, before he endured his litany of arm...

NEW YORK - It's another gray, overcast, chilly day at Citi Field. And I'm talking the about the weather, not Mets fans' emotions about their team right now. The Amazins are hurting, as was clearly evident last night when Terry Collins had to resort to pinch-hitting starting pitchers and sending injured players up to bat in extra innings because nobody else was available. They're hoping Jacob deGrom starts today after getting scratched Friday night with a stiff neck, but they've got lefty...

Game 16 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - Hello from Citi Field, where it's about 30 degrees colder than it was yesterday at SunTrust Park in suburban Atlanta. It's going to be quite chilly out there for the series opener between the Nationals and Mets, and that's not what you ideally want for a team dealing with several minor leg injuries. With that in mind, several regulars are not in tonight's starting lineup: Trea Turner (who has been activated off the disabled list), Jayson Werth (groin), Ryan Zimmerman and Matt...

Game 14 lineups: Nats at Braves (Solís to DL)
ATLANTA - And we're back at SunTrust Park, as the Nationals and Braves prepare for the second game of their three-game series, hoping for a little less drama (or at least a lot less umpiring drama) than they got last night during what ended as a 3-1 Nats victory. We know who will be pitching the first inning for the Nationals tonight: Joe Ross, who makes his long-awaited 2017 debut after spending the last 2 1/2 weeks at Triple-A Syracuse. We don't know yet who will be pitching the ninth...

Game 12 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
You wouldn't have thought the Nationals' toughest opponent through the season's first two weeks would end up being the Phillies, but here we are nonetheless. The Nats have lost three of their five head-to-head matchups so far with their rebuilding rivals from a couple hours up the road, including yesterday's disheartening 4-2 defeat via another late home run off a reliever. The Nationals will try to reverse the trend today, looking to at least take this weekend series and even up their...
