Feverish ninth-inning rally falls just short in Nats' loss to Marlins

Feverish ninth-inning rally falls just short in Nats' loss to Marlins
MIAMI - Pretty much everything went right for the Nationals as they attempted a spectacular comeback in the ninth inning - until it all went wrong with one quick swing. Down 3-1 in the top of the ninth and facing Marlins closer A.J. Ramos, the Nationals put men on first and third thanks to singles by Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy. A Wilson Ramos pinch-hit single scored Harper and suddenly the Nationals had cut the Marlins' advantage to 3-2. Anthony Rendon worked A.J. Ramos for a walk to load...

Baker on lineup and when to rest regulars, plus Belisle update

Baker on lineup and when to rest regulars, plus Belisle update
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker had already decided to rest Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman for tonight's game against the Marlins because he knew he wouldn't have much chance to rest them during the upcoming homestand. "I had it planned in advance because the amount of games that we're going to be playing, the late get-in," Baker said. "Everything contributed to this (lineup). I always believe you take your shot all at once. A lot of times, your shock troops actually sometimes come out...

Game 43 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Yelich scratched)

Game 43 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Yelich scratched)
MIAMI - It seems to be a birthday weekend so far in South Florida. Friday was Jayson Werth's 37th birthday. He collected two hits en route to a 4-1 Nationals win over the Marlins. Today is right-hander Joe Ross' 23rd birthday. He starts for the first time in majors on his birthday as the Nationals look for their first series win against the Marlins this season. Incidentally, the next Nationals player with a birthday in season is third baseman Anthony Rendon on June 6. Ross is 3-3 with a 2.63...

Zimmerman and Werth continue uptick at plate

Zimmerman and Werth continue uptick at plate
MIAMI - This may be the time of year when things turn the right way for slugger Ryan Zimmerman. On Friday night, he made another statement that his power swing may be coming back. Zimmerman's loud solo shot over the left-center field wall opened the scoring for the Nationals as they went on to down the Marlins 4-1. "It's one good swing," he said. "But I've been feeling good the last three or four games, I've hit some balls hard. Not getting stuff for it, but in New York I thought I had...

Roark worked on not tipping pitches in 4-1 win vs. Marlins

Roark worked on not tipping pitches in 4-1 win vs. Marlins
MIAMI - Right-hander Tanner Roark was 0-3 with an 8.40 ERA in three starts against the Marlins this season. His worst start of the season came just six days ago in D.C., when he allowed seven runs on eight hits in five innings against these same Marlins. But Friday in Miami was just the opposite. Inducing weak contact and holding the Marlins to just one run, Roark turned Miami into every other opponent he has faced this season, delivering 6 2/3 strong innings in a 4-1 win at Marlins Park. It...

Zimmerman and Taylor homer early, Roark solid (Nats win 4-1)
MIAMI - The Nationals offense picked up where it left off in New York with hard contact versus Marlins left-hander Justin Nicolino in the early going. Michael A. Taylor lined out to a diving Christian Yelich to open the game. Jason Werth then followed with a lined single to left. Although the Nationals didn't score in the inning, they were seeing the southpaw very well. In the second, they unloaded on the Marlins. Ryan Zimmerman led off with a solo homer, his fifth of the season, and the...

Baker on Roark vs. Fish: "Too early to start running from people"

Baker on Roark vs. Fish: "Too early to start running from people"
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker explained why he decided to give Ben Revere the day off and start Fort Lauderdale native Michael A. Taylor in the leadoff spot. "No Ben Revere because I like to play guy's at home, Michael A. Taylor's from here," Baker said. "And also we got a left-hander and also Ben's been playing every day since he got back." Baker said the Nationals' charter also arrived very early in the morning from New York after Wednesday night's 9-1 win. Baker said that the Revere...

Game 42 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 42 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Welcome to the Sunshine State, or as I like to call it, especially this weekend, the Mostly Sunshine But Guaranteed Popup Rain Shower in Afternoon Each Day State. I know, that just wouldn't fit on the license plate. Rain is expected each day the Nationals are in town, but that is a moot point with each game indoors at Marlins Park. Fresh off an impressive series win against the defending National League champion New York Mets, the Nationals stay on the road and within the division in...

Fernandez gets stronger as game rolls along in 5-1 defeat of Nats
Miami right-hander Jose Fernandez tossed a career-high 117 pitches, and finished up with relative ease, as the Marlins defeated the Nationals 5-1 to split the four-game set.

Fernandez too much for the Nationals in 5-1 loss
Jose Fernandez beat the Nationals with his arm and his bat Sunday. Fernandez threw seven innings, allowing only one run, and provided a huge two-run single with the bases loaded that put the game out of reach. The Marlins won 5-1, splitting the four-game set. Fernandez got some early assistance from the Nationals defense. With two outs and two men on in the third inning, Martin Prado's infield pop-up was dropped by Stephen Drew as he battled the bright sunshine, allowing both runs to score and...

Taylor patient at the plate as he returns to reserve role
Michael A. Taylor got the start in the leadoff spot in Saturday's first game of a day/night doubleheader as the Nationals downed the Marlins 6-4. Taylor had struggled at times in the leadoff spot prior to Ben Revere's return to the lineup last weekend. But on Saturday, Taylor once again displayed what he can do on offense and defense, going 2-for-3 with a double and two walks. He stole two bases and made an outstanding catch of a fly ball off the bat of the Marlins catcher Jeff Mathis that...

Strasburg undeterred by early struggles, downs Marlins
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg doesn't need to strike out a batter every inning or completely shut down lineups to be successful. Fresh off signing a new seven-year, $175 million contact extension earlier in the week, Strasburg pitched out of frequent challenges Saturday afternoon to drop the Marlins 6-4 i n the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Strasburg continued his best start of the season, improving to 6-0, with six innings, allowing five hits and three runs with three walks, seven...

Nationals cash in on early free passes (Nats win 6-4)

Nationals cash in on early free passes (Nats win 6-4)
Left fielder Christian Yelich got the Marlins off first with a mammoth home run to center field. The blast gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead after the first half-inning. It was the second straight start where Stephen Strasburg had allowed a first-inning home run. Nick Castellanos of the Tigers drilled a two-run shot on May 9. It also marked only the fourth homer Strasburg had allowed in his initial eight starts of the season. But the Nationals quickly got that run back for Strasburg - and then...

Nats game blog: Is this second-to-last appearance for Zimmermann at Nats Park?
The Nationals showed some fire and emotion Friday night in a 5-4, 10-inning comeback win over the Marlins.

Washington looks to go up 2-1 in the series with right-hander Jordan Zimmermann getting the nod today. Wilson Ramos is back at the catching spot, and Tyler Moore gets the call at first base.
