As the Nationals took the field for batting practice Friday afternoon, Miguel Cairo motioned to Keibert Ruiz and José Tena to come join him at first base. To field grounders. And make some throws. And learn a little bit about a position neither of them has ever played before in a game. It made for quite the scene, both because the 51-year-old inter

No pitcher in the history of the Baltimore Orioles has thrown a perfect game. No one could have anticipated that a rookie carrying a 6.70 ERA in his first 10 major league starts would get within four outs. Brandon Young is a big fan of classic rock. His outing last was an instant classic, and boy, did he rock. He retired 23 batters in a row before

As the latter stages of Thursday night’s game was playing out, Cole Henry started to get the sense he was going to be the man holding the ball for the top of the ninth. With interim manager Miguel Cairo using new closer Jose A. Ferrer to face the heart of the Phillies lineup with a one-run lead in the eighth, Henry was told by bullpen coach Ricky B

They’ve scored five runs or fewer in 12 straight games since Aug. 1. But they won the last two against the Mariners, including their first walk-off, to complete the homestand. They’re back on the road to
