MIAMI – After a wild, come-from-behind victory to start the series, the Nationals will be looking to jump ahead early in this afternoon’s contest against the Marlins. In order to do so, they have a tough challenge ahead of them in Miami ace Sandy Alcantara. The former Cy Young Award winner has made two starts this season after missing all of 2024 w

OK, we're two weeks into the 2025 season, and already we've seen some dramatic twists and turns from the Nationals. They lost six of their first seven, then they suddenly won four in a row over the Diamondbacks and Dodgers before falling in Wednesday's series finale. They've lost multiple pitchers to injury, seen several members of the lineup get o

The Orioles are home for only their second series at Camden Yards. They don't hit the road again until April 22 in D.C., which barely counts. Hitting the baseball is more important to them. They've scored nine runs in their last four games and six in their last four losses. The mailbag has avoided any serious tears and mild strains. It helps to dig
