MIAMI – The Nationals finally got the monkey that is the Marlins off their backs last night. The 7-4 victory was their first against the Fish this year, and first in Miami since last season. Now they can focus on playing ball and winning a series. Jake Irvin will look to make it three straight strong starts when he takes the hill this afternoon for

The anticipation was high and the crowd was roaring. The Orioles were one strike away from their 80th win and Félix Bautista - their All-Star closer - was one away from his 34th save. This was usually where he blows a fastball by someone or buries a split for a swinging third strike to send Camden Yards into a frenzy. But this time the game did not

MIAMI – Last night’s 7-4 victory over the Marlins was a payback win for the Nationals. It was their first win over their National League East rivals this season in their seventh attempt. It was just their fifth win against the Fish and just their third at loanDepot Park since the start of last year. And it helped catapult them out of the division b

Kyle Bradish is named the starter for tonight’s game against the Rockies, the line moving again while the Orioles wait on Jack Flaherty. No one who is new to the rotation is anticipated at this point. The same crew, one of the distinct differences from the past. The Orioles have used only eight starting pitchers this season, the third-lowest total

MIAMI – It has been 11 months to the day since the Nationals last won at loanDepot Park. It’s also been that long since the Nationals last beat the Marlins after starting this season 0-6 against their division rivals. Those streaks came to an end tonight as the Nats finally beat the Fish 7-4 in front of 12,409 fans. It has been 20 days since Joan A

The Orioles were confused in the first inning tonight. They did not, however, forget that they were the superior team. But also one that isn't immune to injuries. To adversity that can shake them to the core. They did exactly what was expected of them. Beat the worst club in the National League. Freed themselves from the reverse lock. And then they

After the Orioles (79-48) won a series against Toronto – taking the last two games after losing the series opener – they host Colorado to begin a new series tonight. The Rockies are in town through Sunday and the homestand continues Monday versus the Chicago White Sox. Colorado just lost three games at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, an

MIAMI – Stone Garrett had his surgery to repair his fractured left fibula this afternoon, per manager Davey Martinez. The skipper didn’t have a full update on his outfielder’s condition before tonight’s opener against the Marlins but hopes to have one postgame. “He had his surgery today. We have no update yet,” Martinez said during his pregame meet

Anthony Santander broke into the majors as a Rule 5 pick in 2017, playing in only 13 games. He appeared in 33 the following season, again making him a brief teammate of Adam Jones. Crossing paths more than settling into a deeper relationship. Jones was gone by 2019, when Santander hit 20 doubles and 20 home runs to begin his ascension to impact pla

James McCann is catching tonight and Ryan McKenna is in center field for the start of a three-game series against the Rockies. Anthony Santander, with three home runs in two nights, is in right field. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter. Jordan Westburg is playing second base. Opponents are batting .163 against Cole Irvin this month in five ap
