SEATTLE – MacKenzie Gore did his job, churning out six scoreless innings and escaping an emotional bases-loaded jam to end his night. And James Wood did his job, delivering the clutch hit off a lefty that gave the Nationals a two-run lead to put Gore in line for the win. For the Nats to emerge victorious at T-Mobile Park and pull off an impressive

SEATTLE – On a night when there was plenty for the Nationals to feel good about, the first three-hit game of Josh Bell’s season stood out from the pack Wednesday night. Bell entered the night with a .151 batting average and .289 slugging percentage, a slow start even by his traditional standards. He delivered in the Nats’ 9-0 win over the Mariners,

SEATTLE – Would you have imagined after Tuesday’s blowout loss the Nationals wound now find themselves in position to win this series behind their ace? Probably not. But Wednesday’s 9-0 thumping of the Mariners canceled out Tuesday’s 9-1 loss and sets up the rubber match tonight. And it’s MacKenzie Gore on the mound looking to win the series for th

SEATTLE – The first five days of Robert Hassell III’s major league career included 17 at-bats, two hits (both coming in his debut), zero walks and some clear-cut pressing at the plate. Not that anyone should have been surprised by that. How many rookies, no matter how highly touted, look totally comfortable in their first week in the bigs? Davey Ma

The 2025 season hasn’t gone according to plan for the Baltimore Orioles. At 19-36, the O’s have dug themselves quite a hole to kick off the campaign. Time is not their friend.  As the calendar rapidly approaches June, expectations from the offseason feel distant. A great comeback is still possible, but Baltimore is heading toward the middle innings

Outfielder Colton Cowser and infielder Jordan Westburg couldn’t escape the rain last night at Triple-A Norfolk, where their rehab assignments remained on hold due to another postponement. Cowser got a head start with three games at High-A Aberdeen, but his injury dated further back with a fractured left thumb on March 30. Westburg strained his left

SEATTLE – As lost as they looked at the plate Tuesday night against Logan Evans, the Nationals could not have looked more comfortable when they dug in this evening against George Kirby. As labored as his recent starts against a number of opponents had felt, Trevor Williams could not have looked more in control tonight when he faced the same Seattle

Left-hander Cade Povich doesn’t know whether he’s pitching for his spot in the Orioles rotation. Trevor Rogers can be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk at any time after serving as the 27th man in Saturday’s doubleheader in Boston and tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings with two hits in Game 2. Zach Eflin, Dean Kremer and Charlie Morton are confirmed for

SEATTLE – Cade Cavalli is nothing more than a minor league pitcher these days, no longer injured, no longer rehabbing, just trying to earn his way back to the major leagues. The way he’s pitching, he’s starting to make a compelling case for a promotion to D.C. Cavalli dominated over five innings today for Triple-A Rochester, shutting out Columbus o

SEATTLE – Tuesday night’s series opener went about as badly as it could have gone from the Nationals’ perspective. Mitchell Parker put them in an early hole, the lineup never seriously threatened to come back and the bullpen expanded the deficit to the point it became a 9-1 rout by the Mariners. So they’ll try all over again tonight and see if they
