The Nationals’ home opener showcases a lot of new features to the young 2024 season. As the home schedule on South Capitol Street kicks off, there are new things all around Nationals Park to experience. New concessions. New scoreboard. New lights. And a new lineup in just the fourth game of the year. The Nationals will take on the first left-handed

Jordan Westburg stays in the lineup tonight at second base as the Orioles begin a three-game series against the Royals. Ramón Urías is playing third base. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter. It’s Jorge Mateo’s turn to sit again. Gunnar Henderson continues to sit atop the order. He recorded his 10th career multi-walk game Sunday and first since J

After beginning the 2024 season with a weekend series in Cincinnati, the Washington Nationals open their home schedule with a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, followed by a three-game set vs. the Philadelphia Phillies. The first homestand of the season features several fun promotions and events for fans of all ages, including an Op

Like the Orioles, the club's Triple-A Norfolk affiliate is off to a 2-1 start, but unlike the O's the Tides are off today. Norfolk has scored 29 runs to rank second in the 20-team International League and leads the league with a .964 team OPS. The Orioles' other three full-season affiliates - at Double-A Bowie, High-A Aberdeen and Single-A Delmarva

In a perfect world, the Nationals would have come home from Cincinnati with a winning record to a sun-splashed ballpark for today’s home opener. Alas, this isn’t a perfect world. The Nats lost Sunday’s series finale to the Reds with a gut punch of a bottom of the ninth. And the sun will not be shining on South Capitol Street today, with lots of rai

Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Angels meant the Orioles got a series win, but not a series sweep to start the 2024 season. After scoring 24 runs on 24 hits and going 9-for-21 with runners in scoring position in wins Thursday and Saturday, they went 3-for-30 at-bat on Sunday and lost 4-1. But in scoring 11, 13 and one run in those games the O’s ti

They would’ve come home flying high, having just won the season’s opening series on the road against a team with October aspirations, and having done it on the backs of some of their most important young players. They would’ve taken the field at Nationals Park to a thunderous roar from a large crowd excited to welcome them home for the first time i

Mike Baumann’s world of baseball firsts spun again Saturday evening. It dumped him on the mound when he assumed that he’d watch the last three outs from the bullpen. The phone wasn’t supposed to ring. He wasn’t supposed to pitch. Cionel Pérez faced two batters, gave up a triple and single, and exited with soreness in his right oblique. The Orioles

CINCINNATI – The stage was set for another uplifting victory. Trey Lipscomb would be the hero. Other key young building blocks would have contributed. The Nationals just needed one more pitch from Kyle Finnegan. And then, in what felt like a matter of seconds, it all collapsed. One strike away from locking up the save, Finnegan instead surrendered

The Orioles won’t go 162-0. Seemed like a long shot anyway. Tyler Wells was charged with three earned runs and four total today in the first two innings before plowing through the Angels order, and a red-hot offense cooled in a 4-1 loss to the Angels before an announced crowd of 20,576 at Camden Yards. A season-opening sweep was denied. Wells got i
