Harper joins 20-homer club, Knorr ejected (Nats win 3-2)

Harper joins 20-homer club, Knorr ejected (Nats win 3-2)
We've already had some drama here at Nationals Park tonight, and the game isn't even an inning old. The Marlins got to Gio Gonzalez for a run in the top of the first when Donovan Solano, who doubled leading off the game, came around on an Ed Lucas RBI single. But things heated up in the bottom of the first, when the Nats took the lead and saw their bench coach get ejected just minutes later. Bryce Harper smoked a three-run homer to center off Henderson Alvarez, giving the Nats a 3-1...

Nats lineup in opener vs. Marlins

Nats lineup in opener vs. Marlins
After Stephen Strasburg was scratched from tonight's start due to some lingering right forearm tightness, Gio Gonzalez will start on full rest in the first of four games against the Marlins. The Nationals plan to follow Gonzalez with Jordan Zimmermann tomorrow night, Strasburg on Saturday and Dan Haren on Sunday in the season finale between these two teams. Gonzalez is 2-0 in two starts against the Marlins this season and has yet to allow a run in 13 innings against Miami. The Nats will...

Stanton does it again, but so does Werth (Nats win 4-3)

Stanton does it again, but so does Werth (Nats win 4-3)
Giancarlo Stanton kills the Nationals. Just kills them. He might not kill them like Andrew McCutchen kills them. But Stanton still kills them. You get the idea. The Marlins' right fielder absolutely obliterated a 2-2 slider from Ryan Mattheus to dead center leading off the sixth, tying the game 2-2. It was Stanton's 17th homer in 47 career games against the Nats. The ball was just crushed, on a line, and if not for a wall about 30 feet beyond the center field fence, that one still might...

Nats lineup vs. Marlins

Nats lineup vs. Marlins
Steve Lombardozzi gets the start at second base tonight for game two of this three-game set against the Marlins, with Anthony Rendon getting a day off. Stephen Strasburg (6-9, 3.00 ERA) will get the start for the Nationals tonight, opposing Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez (2-3, 3.86 ERA) The 23-year-old Alvarez came to the Marlins in the monster trade with the Blue Jays this winter, and while he's been pretty impressive this season, he has allowed at least four earned runs in each of...

Full Nats lineup in place for series opener vs. Marlins

Full Nats lineup in place for series opener vs. Marlins
The Nationals open a three-game set with the Marlins tonight, as Ross Ohlendorf squares off against Miami right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. All eight starting Nats position players will be in there today despite bumps and bruises to Jayson Werth (infected right foot), Bryce Harper (left foot), Ian Desmond (back, hamstring) and Ryan Zimmerman (shin). This time of year, everyone's battling something. Ohlendorf is 2-0 with a 2.58 ERA this season, while the 23-year-old Eovaldi is 2-4 with a 3.82...

Strasburg faces the Fish

Strasburg faces the Fish
The Nationals open their final series before the All-Star break tonight in Miami, with Stephen Strasburg taking on Nathan Eovaldi in a battle of young, talented right-handers. Eovaldi, acquired by Miami last season in the Hanley Ramirez trade, has made just four starts with the Marlins this season since coming up from the minors. The 23-year-old has gone 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA, 13 strikeouts and nine walks in 24 2/3 innings. Strasburg has a 2.45 ERA over 106 1/3 innings this season, but is just...

Harper returns to Nats lineup; Span, Espinosa still out
The Nationals get the reigning National League Rookie of the Year back in their lineup, but their leadoff hitter and starting second baseman are still sidelined. Bryce Harper returns to the Nationals lineup tonight after missing yesterday's game with flu-like symptoms. Center fielder Denard Span (flu-like symptoms) and second baseman Danny Espinosa (right wrist) will not start tonight's series finale against the Marlins, however. This will be the third straight game that Espinosa has missed...

Harper, Span, Espinosa all out of Nats lineup (updated)
Davey Johnson is using this series against the Marlins as a chance to get his bench guys into the mix. After resting Adam LaRoche yesterday and starting Tyler Moore at first base, Johnson has opted to give Bryce Harper and Denard Span their first days off of the season tonight. Harper has struggled over the last few games, going 0-for-13. Moore will play left field tonight, while Roger Bernadina will get the start in center. With Span out, Jayson Werth will return to the leadoff spot in the...

Just what the doctor ordered

Just what the doctor ordered
There's never a bad time for a 10-3 victory. Any team out there will take such a ballgame on opening day, in September, when it's hot, cold, or when that team is in the middle of a lengthy winning streak. But there's got to be something a little extra satisfying about bashing an opponent by seven runs after just coming off of a three-game sweep at the hands of a division rival. The Nationals went into Miami after a rough weekend series against the Braves, and they got back on track...

One way to forget a rough weekend (Nats open series with dominating win)

One way to forget a rough weekend (Nats open series with dominating win)
Six batters into tonight's game, Marlins starter Wade LeBlanc had yet to retire a Nationals hitter. Five hits - four singles and a double - and a walk led to four Nats runs, and just like that, Washington has a nice 4-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Nothing like a three-game set against the Marlins to get the Nats back on track after a rough sweep at the hands of the Braves over the weekend. Denard Span and Jayson Werth led off the ballgame with singles, and after a Bryce Harper...

Johnson sees Zimmerman's defense improving with repaired shoulder

Johnson sees Zimmerman's defense improving with repaired shoulder
The Nationals are off to a 2-0 start with some important solo homers and quality pitching. But manager Davey Johnson also gives a lot of the credit for the first two wins to improved defense. Johnson said he notices a big difference because Ryan Zimmerman's surgically repaired shoulder has responded well. "No question about it," Johnson said. "It is kind of hard to improve on the infield. But the infield is improved because Zimm is healthier over there. You guys probably haven't noticed...

Marlins-Nationals lineups for series finale

Marlins-Nationals lineups for series finale
The Nationals will look for a sweep of the Marlins this afternoon at Nationals Park, with Jordan Zimmermann attempting to match the stellar efforts of Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez over the Nats' first two games. Zimmermann is 1-3 with a 4.43 ERA in eight career starts against the Marlins and is without a win against them at home. Left-hander Wade LeBlanc will take the mound for Miami. LeBlanc went 2-5 with a 3.67 ERA last season in 25 games (nine starts) with the Marlins. Over four...

Mattheus thrilled to come into a season where he can just pitch

Mattheus thrilled to come into a season where he can just pitch
Right-hander Ryan Mattheus feels like 2013 is different. Of course, he has to prove himself. But this feels better than in years past where he came into camp trying to make the team. This season, he felt like his spot was his to lose. He felt more in control during spring training. "It's huge," Mattheus said. "I finally had the pressures of making the team. I guess I could have went in and lost the job. I came in this spring and it was my job to lose. And that is just comforting, that I...

Young done after three so-so innings (Harper, Zimmerman go back-to-back)

Young done after three so-so innings (Harper, Zimmerman go back-to-back)
VIERA, Fla. - Chris Young wasn't awful in his first Grapefruit League start this spring. He wasn't great, either. Great analysis, I know. Young worked three innings this afternoon, allowing three runs on three hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Threes were wild. At times, the 35-year-old right-hander lost complete command of the strike zone. He issued a four-pitch walk to open the game and then another one to begin the third inning. Other times, Young looked pretty darn sharp. He...

Ohman granted his release, plus Werth and Garcia updates
VIERA, Fla. - Bill Bray has reported to the Nationals' minor league camp after being reassigned on Sunday, but Will Ohman has not. Ohman, who also was reassigned to minor league camp, requested and was granted his unconditional release. The 35-year-old, who made just one spring appearance with the Nats, allowing two hits and two walks in an inning of work, is now a free agent. Bray will continue to work on his mechanics over at minor league camp. The veteran lefty has had trouble finding his...

Pregame notes on Zimmerman, Ramos, Kimball (plus lineups)

Pregame notes on Zimmerman, Ramos, Kimball (plus lineups)
VIERA, Fla. - The Marlins have arrived at Space Coast Stadium, and after all the roster turnover that team underwent this offseason, Davey Johnson doesn't really know exactly what he's looking at. "I'm still trying to learn their names," Johnson said. "And I'm not even sure what position the names are going in." The Marlins will have Donovan Solano starting at second base today -he's the brother of Jhonatan Solano, a catcher in the Nationals' system. Other than that, there are very...

Nats, Marlins lineups for home opener at Space Coast Stadium
VIERA, Fla. - The new-look Marlins (is that a nice way to say it, or what?) come to town this afternoon to take on the Nationals in their home opener at Space Coast Stadium. Danny Espinosa and Kurt Suzuki will make their spring debuts this afternoon under cloudy skies, as the Nationals face young right-hander Henderson Alvarez, one of the arms the Marlins got from the Blue Jays in that massive trade this offseason. Jordan Zimmermann gets the ball for the Nats, with Zach Duke scheduled to...
