And we’re back. After the Nationals finally got a win here yesterday to end their series against the Cardinals, they’re right back to play today’s makeup game against the Diamondbacks. What should have been the series finale between these two teams two weeks ago was postponed due to the poor air quality from the Canada wildfires to make this now a

It has been quite a season for the Orioles’ Triple-A Norfolk Tides affiliate. They broke out of the gates this year going 7-1 and were 11-4 after 15 games. After 29 games in early May they were 22-7. Last night they rode that strong start all the way to the first-half championship of the International League. With an 8-3 win at Nashville, Norfolk (

There have been some very bizarre circumstances and confusing statements surrounding Victor Robles’ back injury. It all started on May 7 when the 26-year-old first hurt his back while sliding into second base during a game against the Diamondbacks in Arizona. He was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day with what the team then called

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The roster churn slowed yesterday for the Orioles, who stuck with the same 26 players to close out their road trip. They made it through nine innings without an injury. The flu-like symptoms that have swept through the clubhouse apparently didn’t claim a new victim. A win achieved on a day that they lost. At least four player

The situation surrounding this afternoon’s finale between the Nationals and Cardinals was a tricky one. Rain was in the forecast all day today in the District of Columbia, with only a brief window right around the 4:05 p.m. scheduled start time.

After some misplays in the field, a confrontation with MacKenzie Gore in the dugout and questions about his health, Victor Robles was placed back on the 10-day injured list today with back spasms in the lumbar spine, with the Nationals selecting the contract of

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Rays hurt Tyler Wells today in the second inning. Wells also hurt himself. Ganging up on the right-hander prevented the Orioles from sweeping the two-game series. Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes hit back-to-back home runs to begin the inning, Wells committed two errors that led to a pair of unearned runs, and Tampa Bay

It doesn’t get any easier to say, but it remains true: The Nationals need a win. Ideally, they would win their next two games to end this homestand on a somewhat positive note. They’re 0-5 since returning to D.C. last week and have only won two of their last 15 games. Trevor Williams gets the start this afternoon in the finale against the Cardinals

The Washington Nationals selected the contract of outfielder Derek Hill from Triple-A Rochester and placed outfielder Victor Robles on the 10-day Injured List with back spasms in the lumbar spine on Wednesday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Hill, 27, joins the Nationals after hitting

The Orioles lost the first game they played this season against the Tampa Bay Rays, but have since won three in a row. They won the last two games of a series at Camden Yards from May 8-10 and they won 8-6 last night at Tropicana Field. So they took the opener of a two-game series, meaning they can sweep this series with a win this afternoon. By wi
