Time was when 61 pitches through 5 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball wouldn't prompt anyone seated in a bullpen to so much as stretch his legs. These, however, are different times. Teams across the sport are pulling their starters - especially fourth and fifth starters - before they have a chance to face an opposing lineup the third time through, no matter how effective and how efficient they've been to that point. And the Nationals are now one of those teams. Especially when Jeremy...

The Nationals brought the power again in the series finale against the Pirates, winning 3-1 thanks to home runs from Trea Turner and Ryan Zimmerman. For Turner, it was only his second homer of the season. It was a big hit for the shortstop, who has had his first 30 games of the season highlighted by his walk rate and stolen bases. Turner's two-run shot got the Nats on the board against Pirates starter Trevor Williams, 2-0 in the sixth.t Turner went 1-for-4 on the afternoon, but his batting...

ANAHEIM, Calif. - As the Orioles take the field tonight, some questions come to mind. Can they get their offense going before the ninth inning? Is Chris Tillman really beginning to pitch better? Will the Orioles ever win another road game? The Orioles have lost eight straight on the road and are 3-12 away from Camden Yards this year. They went 3-1 at Yankee Stadium and are winless everywhere else. A loss tonight and they will have been swept three straight for the fourth time in 2018. Tillman...

ANAHEIM, Calif. - While the Orioles roster contains players from all over the United States - in addition to players from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela - three Orioles are enjoying a homecoming of sorts during this series against the Angels. Not only are outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo, catcher Chance Sisco and pitcher Chris Tillman from California, but all three were born 30 miles or less from Angel Stadium. Trumbo was born in Anaheim and played high school ball at Villa Park...

The exact situation practically was proposed to Davey Martinez 90 minutes before Jeremy Hellickson threw his first pitch of the day. Given the right-hander's propensity to fade quickly when he faces an opposing lineup for the third time in a game, Martinez was asked before today's series finale what he would do if Hellickson was performing well with a low pitch count when the Pirates lineup came up to bat a third time. "We will have to really think about it," the first-year Nationals...

The 162-games-a-year player is nearly extinct. Five big leaguers actually did it last season (Joey Votto, Rougned Odor, Eric Hosmer, Alcides Escobar, Freddy Galvis) but that was the league's highest total in a decade. Only one player in Nationals history has done it: Ryan Zimmerman in 2007. And only two others have even reached the 160-game mark in club history: Austin Kearns in 2007, Danny Espinosa in 2012. So the odds of anybody making it all the way through this season without getting a day...

Nationals manager Davey Martinez has made it mandatory to watch right-hander Jeremy Hellickson as he makes his way through his starts, especially the third time through the order. In his last start, Hellickson had allowed only one run through five innings on a David Peralta solo homer against the Diamondbacks April 28. Peralta came up for the third time in the sixth and hit another homer. After Hellickson retired Jarrod Dyson, he was pulled. He had registered 56 pitches. Martinez said...

The Nationals have a chance today for their first four-game sweep of the season as they battle the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series finale. With a win, the Nats get back to the .500 mark for the first time since April 20. Manager Davey Martinez believes they have found something with their new lineup. Bryce Harper will stay in the leadoff spot, with Matt Adams in the No. 3 hole. Ryan Zimmerman and Matt Wieters return to the lineup after a day off. Wilmer Difo has done a very nice job in the No....
