As they have for many Nationals, injuries interfered with Jayson Werth's year. The 36-year-old never fully recovered from offseason AC joint surgery in his right shoulder when he began the season a week late. He scuffled through the first month with his batting average mostly below .200 until a fastball darted inside and fractured his left wrist on May 15 in San Diego. Werth's broken wrist robbed the 13-year veteran of 61 games in the middle of the season. When he finally returned to the Nats...

In a season where the legend of Bryce Harper has become reality, the young slugger continues to reach new milestones. Harper's third-inning two-run homer was the 500th hit of his career and, after doubling to start the fifth, the 22-year-old scored his 100th run this year as the Nationals pounded the Braves 8-2. The Mets shut out the Marlins 7-0 to maintain their five-game lead in the National League East. New York travels to D.C. for an important three-game series beginning Monday. Harper...
Gonzalez's ability to get through fourth inning critical to quality start

Left-hander Gio Gonzalez had the kind of outing the Nationals will need from him as they look to make a run down the stretch. He did not allow a hit until the sixth inning and held the Braves scoreless in an 8-2 victory. For Gonzalez, it was his first win since Aug. 10 as he struck out 10 batters and allowed only two hits, both in the sixth inning. Gonzalez had Wilson Ramos catch for him Saturday instead of his regular batterymate, Jose Lobaton. Gonzalez always puts heavy emphasis on his...

The Orioles are searching today for their first series win since sweeping the Athletics in a four-game set on Aug. 14-17. They could have sealed the deal yesterday, but left-hander David Price was shoving and their offense managed only one run. The Orioles are expected to add outfielder Nolan Reimold to their roster after he grabbed a flight to Toronto yesterday morning and was placed on the taxi squad. However, he's no longer a certainty to start after the Blue Jays tweaked their rotation...

The Nationals received a gift in the third and they took full advantage of it. Ian Desmond lifted a routine fly ball to center to start the inning. Cameron Maybin never saw it, barely taking a few steps forward with his arms extended. Left fielder Nick Swisher raced over, but was too late and Desmond reached on a double. After Wilson Ramos grounded out and Gio Gonzalez struck out, Desmond scored when Shelby Miller uncorked a wild pitch and the Nats lead 1-0. Jayson Werth then hit a ground rule...

TORONTO - Well, the Orioles pitching has done OK in this series at Rogers Centre. The O's staff gave up two runs on Friday night and five on Saturday to the highest scoring team in the majors.

In four starts this season against Toronto, Tillman is 0-3 with an ERA of 15.00, allowing 27 hits and 25 runs in 15 innings. In 18 career starts versus the Jays, he is 4-9 with...
