FLUSHING, N.Y. - Matt Williams shied away from responding to yesterday's report from CBSSPORTS.com that he will lose his job as Nationals manager at season's end. "Nobody's spoken to me about anything at this point and frankly it's not a concern of mine right now," Williams said. "We've got a guy that's a potential MVP on our team and we got three games to play. That's what I'm concentrating on. That's what I know right now and as of today, I got a job to do a couple of times and...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - Gio Gonzalez heads to the mound for the final time this season in the first game of today's doubleheader with the Mets. Like many Nationals, Gonzalez's year has been filled with inconsistencies. The left-hander is 11-8 with a 3.93 ERA over 30 starts this season. Gonzalez has been stellar against the Mets this year, going 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA and 19 strikeouts in three starts. With three games to play, Bryce Harper's .331 batting average continues to lead the National League...

Let's try this again. The Orioles are scheduled to play games at 12:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. They're just hoping to get three more done before scattering for the winter. They'd like to receive the gate on those games after having a series moved to Tropicana Field and being forced to play a few single-admission doubleheaders. You want the Orioles to re-sign all these free agents and give raises to their arbitration-eligible players? The baseball gods need to stop being jerks. Chris Davis wants...

There are a few things to play for in the remaining three games of the season for the Orioles. For one, they could still avoid a losing season, but they would have to beat the Yankees three times over the next two days to finish 81-81. Also, if the Orioles were to sweep this three-game series, they would win the season series two straight years against New York for the first time since O's teams did that from 1980-82. They went 13-6 against New York last year and are 7-9 in 2015. The Yankees...

The Orioles host the Yankees twice today, weather-permitting, in a split doubleheader at 12:05 and 7:05 p.m. The Orioles could finish at .500 at 81-81 if they get in all three games over the next two days and win all three. The Orioles won the last two games of their series with Toronto, scoring 19 runs on 30 hits in that four-game series after scoring zero runs on 12 hits in three games at Boston last weekend. The Yankees (87-72) have clinched an American League wild card playoff berth, their...

The Orioles will start left-hander Wei-Yin Chen in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees and Ubaldo Jimenez in Game 2, keeping them in the same order. New York is countering with Ivan Nova and Luis Severino, though adjustments could be made if the Astros lose tonight and the Yankees clinch home field for the wild card game. Chris Tillman, who threw a bullpen session today, will start Sunday's season finale against Michael Pineda. Every bit of information should be accompanied...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - Heavy rains in the northeast forced the postponement of tonight's Nationals game against the Mets at Citi Field. The two teams will play a split-admission doubleheader with the first game scheduled for 1:10 p.m. and the nightcap at 7:10 p.m. The Nationals will keep the same pitching order with lefty Gio Gonzalez facing Mets rookie Noah Syndergaard in the afternoon and ace Max Scherzer going against Mets right-hander Matt Harvey in the evening. The games must be played because...
