Turner works long at-bat to plate Gomes for the walk off winner 3-2

Turner works long at-bat to plate Gomes for the walk off winner 3-2
After Wander Suero blew a save in the eighth, the Nationals found a way to win the game anyway, scoring a run in the bottom of the ninth thanks to an outstanding at-bat from Trea Turner. With two outs, Turner's double to the right-center field gap scored Yan Gomes from first base and the Nats walked off the Marlins 3-2 at Nationals Park. The Nats have won four straight over the Fish and 11 of their last 14 overall to go two games above .500 (43-41) for the first time this season. Juan Soto hit...

Martinez said Corbin emotional at loss of "best friend" Skaggs

Martinez said Corbin emotional at loss of "best friend" Skaggs
The baseball world today is continuing to mourn the death of Los Angeles Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs. Manager Davey Martinez began his pregame meeting with the media with a statement from the Nationals: "On behalf of the Washington Nationals, our family here, myself, players, coaches, our heartfelt condolences to Tyler's family, the Anaheim Angels. It's a tough ordeal. Regardless of teams we play on, this is a baseball family. He's part of it. I wish the family well. Like I said, our...

Notes on Bourque, Parra, Scherzer, Grace and Soto

Notes on Bourque, Parra, Scherzer, Grace and Soto
Nationals right-hander James Bourque had a day to think about his major league debut Sunday in the 9-6 win over the Marlins. He did allow a three-run double but also induced a 4-6-3 double play. He wished it had gone a bit better but was happy the Nats won the game. "I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. I'm sure I looked it during the outing. Once I got on the mound and saw it was 60 feet, six inches away and the catcher and a plate, that was same thing. Just was getting a little rushed...

Like rebuilding Orioles, Marlins are experiencing growing pains

Like rebuilding Orioles, Marlins are experiencing growing pains
Last December, about a month before he died, pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre helped his son, Mel Jr., with a decision about his job. Junior couldn't decide among several offers about what pitching-coach job to take for the 2019 season. Senior advised Junior to take the Marlins' offer because he was comfortable with team owner Derek Jeter and manager Don Mattingly, given their connections with the Yankees. Senior thought that Junior needed a challenge of building a young staff with plenty of...

Two unearned runs late deny Scherzer the win again in 3-2 loss

Two unearned runs late deny Scherzer the win again in 3-2 loss
Right-hander Max Scherzer did his job again, keeping the Marlins from a big inning, but two unearned runs late were the deciding factor in a 3-2 Nationals loss on Memorial Day at Nats Park. It was too bad for Scherzer, because he was able to rebound from the last time he took on the Marlins in Miami, on April 20. The 9-3 loss that day was his worst outing of the season, in which he allowed seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits in 5 1/3 innings. This time the Marlins saw him well early on again,...

Marlins see Scherzer well early on again (Nats fall 3-2)

Marlins see Scherzer well early on again (Nats fall 3-2)
The Marlins have been able to see Nationals right-handed starter Max Scherzer fairly well to begin, connecting on five hits in the first three frames, with at least one single in each inning. Miami did the same thing to Scherzer in the teams' first meeting April 20 at Marlins Park, scoring three runs on six hits in the first three frames. The Marlins won that game 9-3. On Memorial Day, Neil Walker was 2-for-2 with an RBI single to score Garrett Cooper in the top of the third. Scherzer has...

Martinez and Soto explain the slugger's latest groove

Martinez and Soto explain the slugger's latest groove
In a back-and-forth game there for the taking, the Nationals needed their big hitters to come through in clutch moments and help break a season-long five-game losing streak. The Nats came back three times Friday night to find a way to win 12-10 over the Marlins thanks in large part to their big hitters. Adam Eaton and Anthony Rendon hit homers to help the Nats come back from early 2-0 and 4-2 deficits. Down 8-4, the Nats chipped away with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Then Victor...

Martinez happy with win, but still wants Nats to "clean it up"

Martinez happy with win, but still wants Nats to "clean it up"
It wasn't the prettiest of games, but the way things have gone this last week, the Nationals will take it. Juan Soto's three-run homer and Matt Adams' solo shot highlighted a four-run eighth inning as the Nats came back from an 8-4 deficit to win 12-10 over the Marlins, their first victory in a series opener at home this season. The Nationals allowed 15 hits, 10 runs, hit two batters and committed four errors. Yet they continually chipped away at early deficits and eventually took the lead...

Sánchez pitches simulated game (Nats win 12-10)
Manager Davey Martinez updated the status of right-hander Aníbal Sánchez, who is on the injured list recovering from a left hamstring strain. "He threw a sim game," Martinez said. "Forty-one pitches, went really well. He ran after he threw. Next hurdle will be he will throw a side and then we will reevaluate then. "Before he comes back he's got to do PFPs (pitchers' fielding practice), cover first, do the whole gamut, because it was a hamstring issue so we want to make sure he is...

Robles gaining experience for next battle with outfield wall

Robles gaining experience for next battle with outfield wall
Nationals outfielder Victor Robles had a couple of plays that drove him into the center field wall on Saturday night at Marlins Park. In the sixth inning, on a sharp drive by Isaac Galloway, Robles collided with the wall and the ball bounced out of his glove for a double. One batter later, Robles made the catch on another screaming drive to deep center field off the bat of Curtis Granderson. But Robles crashed into the wall and went down in a daze. By the time he was able to gather himself, the...

Strasburg logs vintage performance as Nats shut out Marlins 5-0
MIAMI - Right-hander Stephen Strasburg lifted the Nationals past the Marlins 5-0 with a vintage performance, a much-needed salvage of the third game of their series at Marlins Park. Strasburg pitched a season-high eight shutout innings, striking out a season-high 11 batters. He now has 41 games in his career with 10 or more strikeouts. Plus, he added another page to the record books by reaching 1,260 1/3 innings pitched with the Nats, a new club record, passing left-hander Gio Gonzalez's...

Strasburg all-time Nats leader in innings pitched (Nats win 5-0)
MIAMI - Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas' groundout to short in the bottom of the second inning lifted Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg to 1,253 2/3 innings pitched, making him the all-time leader in innings pitched with the organization (2005-present). Left-hander Gio Gonzalez held the mark at 1,253 1/3 frames for his work from 2012-2018. Strasburg also now has 211 career starts, two away from Gonzalez's team lead of 213. Strasburg allowed a two-out single to Brian Anderson in the...

Rendon out of lineup, Taylor emergency infielder

Rendon out of lineup, Taylor emergency infielder
MIAMI - Third baseman Anthony Rendon has the day off with a sore left elbow after getting hit by a pitch and leaving the game Saturday against the Marlins. The elbow was still in a small wrap as he got off the team bus for Sunday's series finale at Marlins Park. "He's pretty stiff today," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "He's got a little swelling still in the elbow, so we don't want to push it. We just want him to get right. "I figured he was going to be stiff today. I even told...

Game 20 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 20 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Well, this certainly is not what the Nationals expected. Arriving Thursday night, the Nats were above .500 again after a series win at home against the Giants. As of today they have lost two in a row to the last-place Marlins and now look to veteran right-hander Stephen Strasburg (1-1, 5.56 ERA) to be the stopper and avoid the sweep. I wrote this morning about how Strasburg has used a matured mental approach to get better with each start. Strasburg needs two innings to become the...

Rendon's x-rays negative, Scherzer laments location
MIAMI - The Nationals lost 9-3 to the Marlins on Saturday night, but the biggest concern after the game was the status of third baseman Anthony Rendon. Rendon had to leave the game in the third inning after getting hit by a pitch on the left elbow. With his departure, Rendon's career-high 17-game hit streak came to an end. Fortunately, Rendon's X-rays came back negative. "I'm still breathing," Rendon said. "So, I'm doing all right. It's just a little swollen. X-rays were negative, so...

Rendon leaves game after being hit on elbow (Nats fall 9-3)
MIAMI - Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon left Saturday's game against the Marlins after being struck in the left elbow by a Jose Ureña pitch in the third inning. With his departure, Rendon's 17-game hit streak comes to an end. We will wait for an update from the Nationals as to the status of Rendon. Howie Kendrick replaced Rendon at third base, only his second appearance at the position since 2016. The Marlins strung together good contact against the Nationals starter Max Scherzer...

Glover pays visit to Nats; Ross could pitch again tonight
MIAMI - Right-handed reliever Koda Glover was in the clubhouse at Marlins Park today and got the chance to work out with the Nationals as he rehabs from a right forearm strain. Glover was already at his locker when the first team bus arrived before the game. He gave outfielder Michael A. Taylor a handshake and a big bear hug as his teammates made their way over to greet him. "I can't get my grin off my face, like seeing my boy Joe (Ross) and some of the guys," Glover said. "It's awesome....

Ross big find for bullpen, Dozier connects

Ross big find for bullpen, Dozier connects
MIAMI - Right-hander Joe Ross arrived in a high-leverage situation out of the bullpen Friday night. He threw 96 mph and he threw strikes to get outs. Where have you been this whole season? The Nationals didn't use Ross for 10 days because maybe manager Davey Martinez was waiting for a long-man role for the youngster to materialize, or he wanted to get Trevor Rosenthal on track? But in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins, Davey found out what Ross can do: a lot. Ross ended the Marlins' chances...

Phillies made their move, but so did rest of NL East

Phillies made their move, but so did rest of NL East
The offseason for the National League East was a steady stream of reinforcements, making it the most competitive division of Major League Baseball's six. Four teams have a chance to win the crown. The biggest offseason splash was the Phillies' trade for catcher J.T. Realmuto. But that was only until halfway through spring training, when they signed free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper. So, how will the Nationals be without Harper, 26, the 2015 NL MVP? And, do the Phillies have enough in their...
