After Fedde's quick hook, bullpen implodes in 9-2 loss

After Fedde's quick hook, bullpen implodes in 9-2 loss
BALTIMORE - Ask him before the game how he'd feel about six innings of one-run ball from Erick Fedde, and Davey Martinez would've scooped it up in a heartbeat and been content with it 'til the cows come home. But when that very proposition came true tonight, Martinez was faced with a decision he never could have foreseen. Fedde had only thrown 66 pitches in those six innings. His bullpen was rested and ready to go, trying to protect a one-run lead over the Orioles. Would he let his young...

Scherzer throws again, no decision yet on Sunday start

Scherzer throws again, no decision yet on Sunday start
BALTIMORE - Max Scherzer again played catch in the outfield at Camden Yards today, but his status for this weekend's series in Atlanta won't be known for at least another 24 hours. Scherzer, on the 10-day injured list with a mid-back strain, threw from up to 90 feet on flat ground this afternoon. The Nationals ace had a long conversation with director of athletic training Paul Lessard at the end of the workout, but manager Davey Martinez described the throwing session as "encouraging"...

Game 94 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - The Nationals got a strong start from an inexperienced right-hander last night, helping set the stage for a win over the Orioles. They'll hope for another tonight, and a two-game sweep at scorching hot and humid Camden Yards, where the heat index as I type this is a mere 110. Erick Fedde takes the mound for his first big league start since June 20, when he lasted only 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies, having thrown a whopping 84 pitches. Like Austin Voth last night, he's trying...

Martinez finds a way to get Kendrick in the lineup (Nats fall 9-2)
BALTIMORE - Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick gets the start tonight as the designated hitter. Manager Davey Martinez likes to find a way to put Kendrick in as a starter, but also understands that he must balance that hope with making sure his 36-year-old veteran can stay healthy enough to play the entire season. And playing every day is not in the cards any longer. The Nats have played 93 games so far this season. Kendrick has played in 60 of those games. Tonight, he starts at designated...

Will Voth or Fedde seize open No. 5 starter's job?

Nationals Orioles
Will Voth or Fedde seize open No. 5 starter's job?
BALTIMORE - The top four in the Nationals' rotation have been as good as advertised, maybe even better than advertised, so far this season. Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Patrick Corbin and Aníbal Sánchez have combined to go 32-20 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. There are, however, five starters in a modern-day rotation. And those other starts count just as much as the rest. So it's more than a bit troubling to note that the Nationals' No. 5 starters (Jeremy Hellickson, Austin Voth,...

Guerra throws two shutout innings to give rest of bullpen a break

Nationals
Guerra throws two shutout innings to give rest of bullpen a break
BALTIMORE - Of course the walk-off homer that Matt Grace surrendered Sunday in Philly stings, but so far in four games coming off the All-Star break, the bullpen is rolling. Tuesday night it was Tanner Rainey and Javy Guerra that kept the Orioles at bay in an 8-1 win. Rainey pitched a scoreless seventh, and for the first time since June 15, Guerra pitched two scoreless innings. It wasn't that clean for Rainey. He walked two in his inning. But after recording a fielder's choice forceout at...

The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde from Double-A Harrisburg and optioned infielder Adrián Sanchez to Double-A Harrisburg on Wednesday.

Fedde, 26, was recalled to make his seventh Major League start of the season on Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. He is 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA in six starts for Washington in 2019.

Soto gets mad after getting hit on shin, takes it out on baseball
BALTIMORE - The Nationals' power bats were on display again in an 8-1 win over the Orioles at Camden Yards, thanks to Matt Adams and Juan Soto. Adams' blast got the scoring going for the Nats in the second inning off Orioles starter Asher Wojciechowski. The solo shot gave the Nats the 1-0 lead and landed on Eutaw Street. It was the 102nd all-time homer to reach Eutaw Street, the 57th by an Orioles opponent. "Yeah, it was a good one," Adams said. "I knew I got it. But I didn't know the...

Voth sets tone, lineup piles on as Nats rout O's (updated)
BALTIMORE - Though they'd never admit it publicly, the Nationals know well their upcoming weekend series at SunTrust Park carries far more significance than this two-game set at Camden Yards. Four games against the division-leading Braves simply mean more to the Nats' ultimate chances in 2019 than two games against the worst-in-baseball Orioles. Which didn't mean the Nationals could completely gloss over this interleague series. They still need to take care of business here. They'd just...

Martinez: Voth, Fedde not in rotation auditions (Nats win 8-1)
BALTIMORE - Nationals manager Davey Martinez announced Erick Fedde will pitch Wednesday's second game here at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Austin Voth starts tonight. Does Martinez view these two games as an audition for the Nats' fifth starter role going forward? Not quite. "Today I'm just worried about Austin Voth going out there and competing and keeping us in the ballgame," Martinez said. "We will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Both of those guys are part of our future right now. We...

BALTIMORE - The Nationals have set up their rotation to have their top four starters on the mound for this weekend's critical series in Atlanta. Provided their ace is ready to return from the injured list, which is not yet a certainty. Manager Davey Martinez revealed this afternoon that Erick Fedde will be promoted from Double-A Harrisburg to start Wednesday's series finale against the Orioles. That pushes Stephen Strasburg back to Thursday night's opener against the Braves, with Patrick...

Rodney believes more opportunities point to more success
When general manager Mike Rizzo first presented the idea to Davey Martinez that Fernando Rodney was available, the skipper knew they should take a look at the veteran closer. "I was excited. The minute he got let go it was a conversation that Rizzo and I had," Martinez said. "They said they'd look into it and said, 'Hey, we are going to sign him.'" Rodney had just been let go after a rough start to the 2019 campaign with the Oakland Athletics. In 17 games, Rodney had allowed 15 runs on...

Game 93 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - There have been times over the years when the Battle of the Beltways brought out a lot of excitement in both towns. It might be a slightly different situation this year, especially over the next two nights, as the worst-in-baseball Orioles host the resurgent Nationals for a quick, two-game interleague series. The Nats come to Camden Yards in the middle of a critical road trip that began in Philadelphia and wraps up in Atlanta. They can't overlook these next two nights, though,...

Nationals Orioles
Nationals face tricky rotation decision this week
There are any number of reasons for the Nationals' in-season resurgence, but their most recent stretch of success has especially been made possible by elite starting pitching. Over the last 22 games, Nats starters are 13-0 with 2.40 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and .594 opponents' OPS. Yes, that's right, a member of this rotation has not been charged with a loss since June 15. That's a staggering stretch of pitching dominance. But if this run is going to continue, the Nationals are going to have to get...

Once considered Nats' catcher of the future, Severino doing well with O's
When the Orioles and Washington Nationals play the next two nights at Camden Yards, the player once considered the Nats catcher of the future will be in the Baltimore dugout. Pedro Severino, who turns 26 on Saturday, was signed for $55,000 by the Nationals out of the Dominican Republic in December of 2010. For five straight years starting in 2013, he was ranked among Washington's top 16 prospects. He reached a high of No. 9 after the 2016 season. Always considered a solid defender with a...

Monday morning Nats Q&A
The second half of the season is underway. The Nationals took two of three in Philadelphia over the weekend, winning in dramatic fashion Saturday night, then losing in agonizing fashion Sunday afternoon. They still hold the No. 1 wild card position in the National League, 1 1/2 games up on the Phillies and two games up on the Brewers. But they're now seven games back in the NL East after the Braves swept the Padres over the weekend. Max Scherzer is on the 10-day injured list but expected to...

Turner on weekend at-bats, Sánchez on his day, Martinez on Grace
Even with the tough loss Sunday afternoon, the Nationals won the series in Philadelphia. And it took a walk-off homer and six consecutive strikeouts to keep them from their 50th win of the season. Shortstop Trea Turner, who netted the game-tying RBI single in the seventh, said the club is still playing great baseball in the midst of a 30-12 run. "Our pitching has been unbelievable lately, especially starting pitching," Turner said. "The bullpen stepped up big time, kept us in those games and...

PHILADELPHIA - Nationals manager Davey Martinez announced that right-hander Austin Voth will be called up for Tuesday's first game of the series against the Orioles. "I like what Austin's done when he was up here and then his last outing down there he pitched really, really well," Martinez said. "I like the fact that he goes out there and he has presence. he has poise. He's throwing the ball well. We're going to give him another opportunity to start." The 27-year-old has no record and a...

Nats come back, but Franco finishes it with walk-off homer
PHILADELPHIA - The Nationals came back again Sunday afternoon, rallying from a deficit late, but this time it was the Phillies that had the final answer. Maikel Franco got a hold of the first pitch from reliever Matt Grace in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Phillies to a 4-3 win before a sellout 43,075 at Citizens Bank Park, preventing the Nats from their sixth sweep of the season. Franco grooved a 93.2 mph sinker from Grace well into the left field stands for his second career walk-off...

Rodney helping Suero gain confidence in changeup, move cutter
PHILADELPHIA - Everyone knows how good right-hander Wander Suero's cutter can be. It is his signature pitch. But Suero's confidence in his changeup, which can also be a plus pitch, could be the key to taking his game to the next level. Helping the 27-year-old understand the importance of this pitch and how to use his cutter in different ways is 42-year-old Fernando Rodney. The 17-year veteran of 11 teams has guided Suero through the finer points of pitch usage and location, getting him to...
