SAN FRANCISCO - The Nationals wanted to have Max Scherzer face the Braves twice in recent weeks but were unable to send their ace to the mound against the National League East leaders. They wanted to have Scherzer start at least one game during this West Coast trip against either the Diamondbacks or Giants but were unable to get him out there against the pair of fringe wild card contenders. Now, as a weekend series with the suddenly resurgent Mets looms, the Nationals again would love to have...

Ditching the two-man bench lasted one game. The Orioles placed outfielder DJ Stewart on the seven-day concussion injured list today and reinstated left-hander John Means from the 10-day IL. Means is making tonight's start and close out the Yankees series. The Orioles could have optioned a pitcher for Means and recalled a position player for Stewart, but they'll go back to having two reserves. Stewart was hit on the left temple by Mike Ford's fly ball last night while sliding on the wet grass...

SAN FRANCISCO - The Nationals are in position to sweep the Giants this afternoon, so that perhaps gives Davey Martinez a little leeway with his lineup, perhaps not feeling the need to overwork guys with a quick turnaround to today's 12:45 p.m. local first pitch. That means we've got a bit of a new look here today. It's Asdrúbal Cabrera making his first start for the Nationals in five years, playing second base. And it's Gerardo Parra, who started last night in right field, at first base...

The onslaught of homers by Orioles opponents just keeps coming. The New York Yankees bashed five homers in beating the Orioles Monday night and then hit six more last night. Here are some numbers that further quantify the O's inability to keep the ball in the park this series and this season. * The Orioles have now allowed five or more home runs 16 times on the season and four times over the last eight games. They've allowed six or more six times and seven or more twice. * In this series,...

SAN FRANCISCO - The Nationals knew they were getting an offensive-minded catcher when they signed Kurt Suzuki over the winter. So they aren't exactly surprised by the production they've gotten out of the 35-year-old veteran this season. But they're also making sure they appreciate it. "He's been awesome, really has," manager Davey Martinez said. "And not just his hitting. The way he's been calling games. His leadership in the clubhouse. Everything about him has been really, really good....

SAN FRANCISCO - The formula sounds simple enough. Get a quality start from the guy on the mound. Get some big hits to seize an early lead. Turn things over to the bullpen to close out a victory. For the better part of four months, the Nationals didn't have enough of the right ingredients to concoct that formula. Most notably, the bullpen pieces. Now that they do have a relief corps with more than one or two trusted arms, the Nats are perfectly capable of winning games like tonight's 5-3...
