The Nationals are limping to the finish line. And they’re doing so with a pitching staff that is running on fumes and running out of available options. Tonight’s 9-6 loss to the Braves saw another ragged start by Patrick Corbin, who served up Ronald Acuña Jr.’s historic 40th home run right off the bat. And earlier in the day, one of the few bright

The Orioles' 5-2 loss at Cleveland Thursday night was just their seventh in 26 games in road series openers this year. They try to get back to the winning tonight at Cleveland after scoring three runs in losing the past two days.  The Orioles (95-58) begin play tonight leading the American League East by 1 1/2 games over Tampa Bay (94-60).

It’s overcast but dry here on South Capitol Street. It doesn’t appear that will be the case Saturday. Or possibly Sunday, either. In other words, the Nationals and Braves sure better get tonight’s game in. Patrick Corbin will try to hold Atlanta’s potent lineup in check, no small task. The left-hander has been better of late, with back-to-back qual

It’s a sad, yet happy day in Washington, D.C. One that, unfortunately, was coming sooner rather than later. Sean Doolittle, the dominant Nationals reliever and fan favorite, announced his retirement today. Where do you begin with a player and person who has meant so much to an organization and a city? Let’s start on the field, since he’s retiring f
