Low Single-A Hagerstown outfielder Brian Goodwin has been placed on the seven-day disabled list with a leg injury, the team announced. The move became effective Tuesday. Right fielder Angelberth Montilla also was placed on the disabled list with a broken hamate bone in his left hand. The Suns called up outfielders Billy Burns and Narciso Mesa from extended spring training and placed them on the active roster. Suns manager Brian Daubach told WJEJ 1240 AM in Hagerstown during Tuesday's...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - It all went right for Davey Johnson's bunch today. The Nationals led 1-0 after the first batter of the game, thanks to Ian Desmond's leadoff home run. They got an outstanding pitching performance from Ross Detwiler, making his first start of 2012. And they got five tack-on runs in the middle innings, allowing them to roll to a 6-2 win over the Mets. Detwiler's outing was the main topic of discussion with Johnson after the game, and the Nats' skipper was clearly thrilled...

The Orioles didn't have a hit since Robert Andino's leadoff double in the fifth inning when pinch-hitter Nolan Reimold came to the plate in the ninth. Seemed like a good time to end the drought and start a rally. Reimold rolled a single into right field off Yankees reliever Boone Logan, and Yankees manager Joe Girardi summoned Cory Wade into the game. Wade retired Mark Reynolds on a pop up, bringing Chris Davis to the plate and Andino to the on-deck circle, where he had trouble picking up...

The stuff in the middle was awfully good. Maybe this was Wei-Yin Chen's Oreo debut. (Sorry) Chen retired 12 in a row after giving up a homer and double and hitting a batter among the first four that he faced. He led, 4-1, going into the sixth, but the Yankees have tied the game and knocked him out of it. Two of the three runs in the sixth were unearned because of Mark Reynolds' two-out error on Russell Martin's sharp bouncer to third base. The ball slammed off Reynolds' chest and rolled...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - The Nationals have opened up a four-run lead on the Mets after pushing across three runs in the top of the sixth. The damage started when Ryan Zimmerman led off the inning with a double and was driven in by Jayson Werth's RBI single to right. That was Werth's first RBI base hit of the season. (He had an RBI walk on opening day.) Rejoice. Xavier Nady followed by singling to left, and Roger Bernadina subsequently reached on an error by second baseman Daniel Murphy allowing...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - If the Nationals can get this type of effort out of their fifth starter every time, they'll be a happy bunch. Ross Detwiler has thrown four sparkling scoreless innings so far tonight, holding the Mets to just two hits and striking out six. Ruben Tejada doubled to lead off the game and Ronny Cedeno followed with a single to left, but since then, it's been all Detwiler. The lefty has retired 12 of the last 13 he's faced and has only allowed a single ball out of the infield -...

Yankees starter Freddy Garcia has thrown four wild pitches in four innings, including two during Nick Johnson's at-bat in the first inning. He also threw two in the fourth inning, after Adam Jones led off with a double to left-center field. Matt Wieters walked, and Jones scored on Johnson's ground ball to first. Jones went in standing and knocked the ball out of catcher Russell Martin's mitt. Martin was charged with an error. Orioles 3, Yankees 1. As The Suns' Dan Connolly pointed...

J.J. Hardy hit another early-game homer for the Orioles. It came in the last of the first inning and tied the game 1-1. Later in the inning a Freddy Garica wild pitch put the O's ahead 2-1 as Garcia needed 36 pitches to get through that inning. Hardy's homer was his second of the year and the Orioles' seventh. They have homered in the first or second inning in every game. The Orioles took a 2-1 lead into the third inning. Wei-Yin Chen is making his major league debut tonight and has...

Wei-Yin Chen's first three pitches tonight missed the strike zone. His fifth missed every glove in the ballpark and landed on the wrong side of the fence. Derek Jeter hit his 25th leadoff home run, breaking Rickey Henderson's franchise record and giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Jeter clobbered an 88 mph fastball. Nick Swisher followed with a double to right-center field on an 83 mph slider. Not exactly what the Orioles wanted to see from their Taiwanese pitcher in his major league...

FLUSHING, N.Y. - Danny Espinosa did, in fact, undergo a concussion test after yesterday's ballgame, but the Nationals' second baseman checked out OK after taking an elbow to the head in the ninth inning last night. "I'm 100 percent fine," Espinosa said. The concussion test consisted of various balance exercises and is designed to check for nausea or other symptoms of a brain injury. Espinosa said he fell asleep fine last night and woke up feeling as if the collision with Mets shortstop...
