Roark fought without best stuff to keep Nats in game

Roark fought without best stuff to keep Nats in game
Right-hander Tanner Roark's velocity was down and he was walking too many guys. But you look up at the final line score and the most important stat of the night? He allowed the Marlins only two runs. Down 2-0, the Nats came back to beat the Marlins 3-2 on a Brian Goodwin solo shot and Andrew Stevenson's spectacular, game-ending, diving catch. Roark kept his club in the game despite five walks. The big blow was another Giancarlo Stanton homer. His two-run shot in the third gave the Marlins a...

Kintzler, Madson and Doolittle provide unique 1-2-3 punch

Kintzler, Madson and Doolittle provide unique 1-2-3 punch
The Nationals were able to put out their newly minted 1-2-3 punch for the final three innings Thursday in a series-clinching 3-2 victory over the Marlins. Brandon Kintzler, Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle held the Marlins scoreless in those three frames, surrendering only two hits with no walks and striking out three. The trio arrived after the Nats had comeback from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game in the sixth. Brian Goodwin's solo homer in the eighth put the Nats up for good. Those three...

His 39th homer of the year went over the left field wall. The Marlins lead 2-0. The Nationals earned a base hit off the bat of Matt Wieters in in the third but not much else yet against Dan Straily. After three innings, the Marlins lead the Nationals 2-0. Update: The Nats rally in the bottom of the sixth. Adrián Sanchez leads...

Zimmerman hits two homers, sets RBI record in 10-1 win

Zimmerman hits two homers, sets RBI record in 10-1 win
First baseman Ryan Zimmerman started off the season well at the plate, hitting .330 with 19 homers in the first half of the season. But his average has declined each month since the beginning of April: .420, .319, .283 to .234 in July. August continued that trend as he went 2-for-23 (.087) prior to Wednesday night's game against the Marlins. But then Wednesday, Zimmerman reminded everyone of how he can turn that trend on its head with one swing, or four. Against Miami, Zimmerman tallied a...

Zimmerman sets franchise RBI record (Nats win 10-1)

Zimmerman sets franchise RBI record (Nats win 10-1)
Ryan Zimmerman crushed a solo homer off of Marlins starter Adam Conley to lead off the second inning. His 25th homer of the season was also his 906th career RBI, which sets the all-time Nats/Expos franchise record. The previous record was held by former Expos third baseman Tim Wallach, who is currently the Marlins bench coach. Howie Kendrick and Wilmer Difo added back-to-back singles with two outs in the inning. But Nats starter Gio Gonzalez struck out. Gonzalez has allowed three hits and even...

Baker's knee locks up during game, will get checked out: "I'm fine"
Injuries to the offense continue to mount up for the first place Nationals. Manager Dusty Baker confirmed that second baseman Daniel Murphy did not start Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Marlins because of a sore hip. Left fielder Howie Kendrick already missed the game because of a tender back. The club has also been playing without starters Trea Turner, Jayson Werth and Michael A. Taylor. Then Tuesday night watching right-hander A.J. Cole battle the Marlins, Baker deferred to pitching coach Mike...

Cole steady early on (Marlins win 7-3)
Nationals Right-hander A.J. Cole got off to an outstanding start with strikeouts of Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton. He finished off a 1-2-3 first inning with a groundout off the bat of Christian Yelich. He hit a batter in the second and endured a fielding error by second baseman Adrián Sanchez in the third, but managed to complete three innings without allowing a run or a hit. The Nats broke through against Marlins starter Vance Worley in the third. Brian Goodwin doubled and took third on...

Eighth inning? Tie game? Adam Lind time

Eighth inning? Tie game? Adam Lind time
With the game tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth and a man in scoring position, it was a pretty obvious choice which pinch-hitter Nationals manager Dusty Baker would go to. He went with pinch-hitter Adam Lind. All Lind has done this season is hit .314 with three homers and 14 RBIs in the eighth inning. In the last three innings of a game this season, Lind was batting .382 with four doubles, five homers and 21 RBIs. The inning began with a Wilmer Difo base hit. After a perfect sacrifice...

Scherzer's neck strong enough, returns to form in Nats' 3-2 win

Scherzer's neck strong enough, returns to form in Nats' 3-2 win
Six days ago in Miami, Max Scherzer threw one warm-up pitch to begin the second inning way outside and quickly walked off the mound towards the dugout. Seeing their ace pitcher in discomfort, manager Dusty Baker, Nationals players and fans were concerned about a worst-case scenario. When a pitcher as strong and resilient as Scherzer leaves before the second inning begins, in a game where he had hit a home run himself, it has to be pretty bad, doesn't it? It turned out to be a neck spasm. This...

Scherzer off to good start, O'Grady leaves injured (Nats win 3-2)

Scherzer off to good start, O'Grady leaves injured (Nats win 3-2)
Already this start is going better for Max Scherzer than his last outing. Minus his very own three-run homer, of course. Scherzer has allowed only a Derek Dietrich double in the second inning so far. After three innings, he has struck out four hitters. No sign that his neck is bothering him at all. Scherzer had to leave his last start against the Marlins in the second inning after suffering a neck spasm. The Marlins starter this time around, George Mason product Chris O'Grady, got injured...

Nats, Marlins moving along in D.C. (Nats come back to win 4-2)
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg came out of the blocks looking strong on opening day 2017.

He also enjoyed a 1-2-3 second inning, inducing three straight infield groundouts. Shortstop Trea Turner doubled and center fielder Adam Eaton walked to begin the home half of the first.

What each NL East team needs this offseason

What each NL East team needs this offseason
The Chicago Cubs' agony is over. They are celebrating their first World Series championship since 1908 after beating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings at Progressive Field in Cleveland. And this might not be a one-time thing for the franchise of Ernie Banks, Ryne Sandberg and Ferguson Jenkins. The Cubs are built for the long haul. The Cubs have two free agents - Aroldis Chapman and Dexter Fowler - and plenty of money to retain them. They also have their entire infield - Kris Bryant,...

Scherzer demonstrates again why he is a Game 1 starter
MIAMI - Max Scherzer "stops all streaks," according to manager Dusty Baker. He did it again Wednesday for his 18th win of the season. The right-hander delivered another sterling performance and showed Baker was true to his word in an 8-3 dispatch of the Marlins, snapping the Nationals' four-game losing streak. "He's the epitome of the shutdown inning," Baker said. "You get him some runs he knows how to close the door. "Max is awesome. He should be in strong consideration for a Cy Young....
