Corbin "felt really good" for six innings in no-decision against Mets

Corbin "felt really good" for six innings in no-decision against Mets
NEW YORK - Saturday night turned into a no-decision for left-hander Patrick Corbin in the Nationals' 4-3 loss to the surging New York Mets. Corbin allowed back-to-back solo homers to J.D. Davis and Wilson Ramos in the fourth inning. He surrendered a single to Michael Conforto for the Mets' first hit in the second inning. But that was it. Corbin said he was able to refocus pretty quickly after the homers. He felt pretty good about how he was pitching during the game. "I felt good. Solo homers...

Broken record: Nats bullpen cannot hold late lead in 4-3 loss to Mets

Broken record: Nats bullpen cannot hold late lead in 4-3 loss to Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals are finding it a very difficult proposition to finish off games recently at Citi Field. Leading in the late going for the fifth game in a row in Flushing, the Nats lost their lead and fell 4-3 to the thriving New York Mets. Despite two clutch home runs from Juan Soto, the second one a solo shot in the eighth inning that broke a 2-2 deadlock, the Nats bullpen was unable to hold the advantage. "It's tough, but it is what it is," Soto said. "It happens sometimes. It...

Game 116 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 116 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals need to find a way to bounce back quickly from Friday's difficult loss and get back in their series with the scorching Mets. Washington led 6-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth. But the Mets exploded for six hits against Nats closer Sean Doolittle, including a three-run homer by Todd Frazier to tie the game and a walk-off single to right field by Michael Conforto to pull off the 7-6 comeback. The Mets have won seven games in a row. But the Nats skipper was ready to...

Strasburg on setting franchise strikeout record: "a blessing"

Strasburg on setting franchise strikeout record: "a blessing"
NEW YORK - Lost a bit in the 7-6 setback against the Mets was the pitching turned in by Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg. The right-hander recorded a quality start, twirling seven innings, allowing a couple of home runs, but only four total hits, with two walks and six strikeouts. It was a nice bounceback from the nightmare of Aug. 3, when he surrendered nine runs in just 4 2/3 innings in the 18-7 loss at Arizona. His only real blemishes came when he allowed back-to-back homers in the fourth...

Mets shock Nats with four runs in ninth off a stunned Doolittle

Mets shock Nats with four runs in ninth off a stunned Doolittle
NEW YORK - The game was set up for closer Sean Doolittle to do what he has done 25 times already this season for the Washington Nationals. With a 6-3 lead over the red-hot New York Mets in the bottom of the ninth, all Doolittle had to do was record three outs and the Nats would come away with another important divisional win. But the Mets pummeled Doolittle's fastball to the tune of four consecutive hits, highlighted by Todd Frazier's three-run game-tying homer down the left field line that...

Strasburg sets all-time franchise strikeout record (Nats fall 7-6)

Strasburg sets all-time franchise strikeout record (Nats fall 7-6)
NEW YORK - April 7 was the last time the Nationals beat the Mets here at Citi Field. May 20-23, the Nats lost all four games. In that series, the Mets never scored more than six runs in a game. After that series, the Nats were 19-31. Nationals manager Davey Martinez said he made sure to keep his players upbeat during those trying times. The Nats have rebounded to win 42 games since that sweep. "Even when things were going bad I seem to always have fun," Martinez said. "I got to keep the boys...

Game 115 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals bounced back from three series losses in a row with an emphatic three-game sweep in San Francisco and now arrive at Citi Field to face off against the hottest team in Major League Baseball. The New York Mets (59-56) have forced their way back into the playoff picture by winning 13 of their last 14 games, including sweeps over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins. Pitching has been key as it usually is with these kind of streaks: the Mets have...

Mets' resurgence adds plot twist to wild card scenarios

Mets' resurgence adds plot twist to wild card scenarios
On July 12, the first day after the All-Star break, the New York Mets lost 8-4 to Miami and their record dropped to 40-51, making them a team that most thought would hit the trade market as a seller as the July 31 deadline arrived. Pitchers Zack Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard were going to be on the move. That would give the Mets a chance to make up for the disastrous offseason acquisitions of Robinson Canó, who wasn't hitting and is on the injured list, and closer Edwin Díaz, who...

Zimmerman, Scherzer and Martinez on reversal (Nats win 3-1)

Zimmerman, Scherzer and Martinez on reversal (Nats win 3-1)
DETROIT - Eighty games into the 2019 campaign, the Nationals have turned their season around. The Nats are now 40-40. This did not seem possible in late May. After 50 games, the Nats had 19 wins. The last 30 games, they have won 21. Flash back to May 23: After losing four in a row to the Mets, the Nats were 19-31. From April 19 to May 23, the Nats went 10-23. But in playing .700 baseball for 35 days, the game is fun again. The Nats have been competitive because their starting pitching, offense...

Robles shows off multifaceted skills in 5-1 win over Mets

Robles shows off multifaceted skills in 5-1 win over Mets
Nationals center fielder Victor Robles slammed his eighth homer of the season in a 5-1 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday night. But his ability to lay down a perfect push bunt in the first inning provided another example of what the budding star can do with his bat. Robles turns 22 on Sunday. He scored two of the Nats' five runs in the win. In the first inning after Adam Eaton walked, Robles dropped his bunt away from Mets pitcher Wilmer Font, moving Eaton to second base. Font could not...

Corbin plays role of stopper as Nats drop Mets 5-1

Corbin plays role of stopper as Nats drop Mets 5-1
Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin did it again. This time, it was an eight-inning gem for a 5-1 win over the Mets at Nationals Park in which he allowed only one run on four hits. He walked just one batter and recorded a season-high-tying 11 strikeouts. Corbin (4-1) set the tone in the first inning with three straight swinging strikes on a ridiculous 83 mph slider that batters cannot reach down to get. "Once he gets through that first inning, he tends to just cruise," said Nationals manager...

Robles homers, Rendon and Kendrick connect (Nats win 5-1)
The Nationals have been hoping for a quick start against the Mets tonight after watching New York score four runs to begin Tuesday night's opener. They got that in this second game of the series. Adam Eaton walked against Mets starter Wilmer Font. Victor Robles singled. Anthony Rendon brought Eaton home with a run-scoring double. A Juan Soto groundout to shortstop scored Robles. Howie Kendrick's single to center scored Rendon. End of one in D.C., the Nats led the Mets 3-0. Left-hander Patrick...

Soto taking Martinez's advice to get on base

Soto taking Martinez's advice to get on base
Juan Soto did not get extra-base hits or up his RBI total Thursday in the Nationals' 4-0 win at Citi Field against Mets flame thrower Noah Syndergaard. But he did something that was still very important to the offense. Soto walked once and scored two runs, going 1-for-3. Soto's walk led off the second inning, one of the best examples this season of the Nats manufacturing a run to take an early lead. Ryan Zimmerman walked to push Soto to second base. A wild pitched from Syndergaard moved Soto...

Mets connect versus Strasburg early (Nats fall 11-8)
Both of today's starters, Stephen Strasburg and Noah Syndergaard, struck out the side in the first inning. But during those frames, the teams combined for four runs and six hits. The Mets enjoyed a two-run double from Wilson Ramos and an RBI triple courtesy of Jeff McNeil to lead 3-0 off of Strasburg in the first. The Nats countered with a two-out Anthony Rendon double off the bottom of the right field wall. Juan Soto delivered a seeing-eye single to right field to plate Rendon. In the second,...

Game 2 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals look to get their offense going in game two of the 2019 season, but it will not be easy. That is because the opponent today is the Mets and their starter, Noah Syndergaard. The Nats are excited about seeing right-hander Stephen Strasburg make his season debut after a strong spring training. Strasburg made it through spring training with no health issues and appeared to get stronger with each start. He also had a positive demeanor and no setbacks, which would seem to project for a...

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...

As the holidays approach, some answers to pressing baseball questions
Here are answers to questions that might come up at family gatherings over the holidays: Question: The White Sox haven't had a winning record since winning 85 games in 2012. Why would Bryce Harper or Manny Machado consider going to Chicago's South Side? Answer: The White Sox hope to have two things going for them: money and a team that is loaded with young talent. The White Sox, tired of playing in the shadow of the crosstown Cubs, have to get Harper or Machado to believe that they would be...
