Game 129 lineups: Rockies at Nats

Game 129 lineups: Rockies at Nats
With Trea Turner doing Trea Turner things, hitters 2-3-4 in the Nationals lineup are settling in for good at-bats. The opposing pitcher is preoccupied with the speed and havoc Turner provides on the basepaths. That allows Jayson Werth, Daniel Murphy and Bryce Harper to be themselves. The trio delivered six RBIs in the Nats' 8-5 series opening win over the Rockies. Werth has hit homers in two straight games. Murphy reached 500 career RBIs. Harper has hit safely in 11 of his last 13...

Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies

Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies
After the excitement and drama of the four-day, two-city Beltways Series, the Nationals get back to business this weekend with the Rockies in town. Max Scherzer saved the bullpen last night with his dominant eight-inning performance. But in order to keep that bullpen from getting burned up again, Gio Gonzalez will need to follow up his rotation mate with a strong start of his own tonight. Gonzalez will be working with Jose Lobaton, a pairing that has enjoyed plenty of success in the past. That...

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
The Nationals didn't expect to find themselves in this position, needing to beat the Orioles tonight to avoid a four-game sweep, but here they are nonetheless. They'll ask Max Scherzer to stop the bleeding and give this team the dominant start it so desperately needs. No word yet if the newly acquired Marc Rzepczynski - I'm getting good at spelling his name without having to check first - will be here in time to be activate for tonight's game. At this point, the Nats haven't announced a...

Orioles and Nationals lineups

Orioles and Nationals lineups
WASHINGTON - The Orioles still haven't announced that they've placed Chris Tillman on the disabled list and brought up a pitcher. However, we've got tonight's lineup against the Nationals. Hyun Soo Kim is in left field and batting second, Mark Trumbo is in right field and batting fifth and Matt Wieters is behind the plate. Kevin Gausman is 5-0 with a 1.57 ERA over his last five starts at Camden Yards. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last Orioles pitcher to go 5-0 with an ERA that...

Game 126 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
The Beltways Series has moved down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway - has anyone ever pointed out you don't need to take either town's beltway to drive from one ballpark to the other? - for the next two nights. The Nationals can only hope the results improve from the last two nights at Camden Yards. The good news: Tanner Roark and Max Scherzer take the mound for these two games against Wade Miley and Ubaldo Jimenez (filling in Thursday for the injured Chris Tillman). Whether the Nationals can...

Game 125 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - It's another beautiful day here at Camden Yards, a far cry from the heat and humidity everyone has been dealing with for weeks. The Nationals and Orioles return for the second of their four head-to-head games this week, the Nats needing a win tonight to even up the series after last night's 4-3 loss. Reynaldo Lopez gets the start, and if the rookie pitches anything like he did his last two times out, the Nationals will like their chances. Those starts, of course, both came against...

Game 124 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - Well, tonight's opener of the annual Beltways Series has an entirely new and unexpected storyline, huh? If you missed the news earlier, the Nationals have placed Stephen Strasburg on the disabled list with right elbow soreness and recalled A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse to start tonight in his place. We will certainly be getting more information shortly, but first some background to the situation: Strasburg went through all of his normal between-starts routines over the weekend...

Game 123 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - It's another steamy day at Turner Field, with (of course) a chance for rain this afternoon as the Nationals and Braves wrap up their four-game series. The Nats, who are already 11-1 against Atlanta this season, are going for a rare, four-game sweep. Anthony Rendon and Jayson Werth are getting the day off. For Rendon, it's his first since July 19. He had started 28 consecutive games at third base. That was necessary in part because Stephen Drew has been on the disabled list, and...

Game 122 lineups: Nats at Braves (Zimmerman activated)

Game 122 lineups: Nats at Braves (Zimmerman activated)
ATLANTA - They're not 100 percent healthy, but the Nationals are getting closer. And for the first time in a while, they've got a fully healthy lineup at their disposal. That's because Ryan Zimmerman has been activated off the disabled list (as has Jose Lobaton, for that matter). A.J. Cole and Pedro Severino were optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to clear roster space for both returning players. Dusty Baker could go with a lineup of regulars tonight against the Braves, but he won't do that...

Game 121 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals look to make it two in a row tonight against the Braves, but they'll do so without the league's leading hitter or their veteran first baseman in the starting lineup. Daniel Murphy gets a rare (but deserved) night off. That's not a huge surprise. But the lack of Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup is a surprise, given that Dusty Baker yesterday said there was a "good chance" he and Jose Lobaton would be activated off the disabled list, not to mention that both players were...

Game 120 lineups: Nats at Braves (Cole up, Goodwin down)
ATLANTA - Hello from Turner Field, which is in full countdown mode right now. There are only 22 Braves games left to be played in this ballpark. The bad news: The Nationals will be here for seven of those games, with a four-game series this weekend and then another three-game set next month before they shut down the place for good and move to a new park in the northwest Atlanta suburbs. The Nats come here reeling a bit from a taxing three days at Coors Field in which the bullpen was forced to...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups
Hyun Soo Kim is starting in left field tonight and batting ninth against Red Sox left-hander David Price. Kim is 0-for-14 versus left-handers this season. However, as I wrote this morning, Nolan Reimold is 4-for-33 (.121) with a home run and 13 strikeouts against Price. Chris Davis stays in right field, with Steve Pearce at first base and Mark Trumbo serving as the designated hitter. Dylan Bundy ranks sixth among American League rookie pitchers with 68 strikeouts.

DENVER - The Nationals and Rockies wrap up their three-game set on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in the Mile High City with the Nats seeking their 11th road series victory. The Nationals are 24-13 in series finales. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg faces right-hander Jon Gray, who were each recipients of the College Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher of the Year Award. Strasburg with the honor in 2009 and Gray in 2013. The Nationals will need Strasburg to go long in this game after using eight...

DENVER - Greetings from the Mile High City and Coors Field! Remember, the purple line of seats in the upper deck designates the 5,280 foot mark here at the stadium. The welcome sight of right fielder Bryce Harper back in the Nationals lineup Sunday had to be a good thing for his teammates and an uncomfortable one for the Rockies and their pitching staff. Right-hander Max Scherzer will make his 25th start of the season, and he's been enjoying a hot streak the past month and a half. Since June...

It is going to be yet another scorcher today at Nationals Park. And this time they'll be playing under direct sunlight, with temperatures heading into the upper 90s and the heat index approaching 110. (Think these guys might be just a bit eager to head west to the drier, thinner air of Colorado?) Before they can turn their attention to the Rockies and the upcoming road trip, the Nationals have some business to take care of today. They're trying to win the rubber game of their weekend series...

Game 115 lineups: Braves at Nats
Just another Saturday night for the first-place Nationals, right? Not really. Former closer Jonathan Papelbon requested his release. He got that release at 3 p.m. The Nationals activated right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. He will make his third major league start, seeking his first win. This would seem to be his best chance to date to earn that first victory: a last-place team filled with guys he could have faced at the minor league level, plus Lopez has two starts under his belt and comes in with...

Game 114 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
It's now Day 6 of the Bryce Harper Stiff Neck Watch, and the end result is the same: He's not in the lineup. You've got to think the Nationals are reaching a critical point in this process. If they can't be certain Harper is on the verge of returning, they're going to have to consider the disabled list. Tonight's series opener against the Braves features Stephen Strasburg on the mound, seeking his 16th victory. He'll be attempting to do that in some of the most extreme weather conditions...

Game 113 lineups: Nats vs. Indians
It's going to be a scorcher this afternoon when the Nationals and Indians wrap up their brief, two-game series with a late-afternoon start on South Capitol Street. Temperatures are going to top 90 degrees, and the humidity is off the charts, as well. So if you've got tickets, take all the necessary precautions. After losing 3-1 last night, the Nationals will try to rediscover their lost offensive production, though they'll again have to do it with a depleted lineup. Bryce Harper is out for...
