SAN DIEGO – The rest of baseball also recognizes Trevor Rogers’ brilliance on the mound. Rogers was named the American League’s Pitcher of the Month for August, while Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta won the honor in the National League. Rogers is the 14th Oriole to earn the distinction and the first since Corbin Burnes last September. Erik Bedard was th

It’s been quite a while since the Nationals were last in a position to sweep a three-game series. You have to go all the way back to July 23 when they took the field against the Reds having already won two straight, hoping to win one more and complete the sweep. Alas, they did not, getting shut out by Nick Lodolo during a 5-0 loss. Well, here they

SAN DIEGO – It keeps happening. In every game and every start that he makes. Rookie Jeremiah Jackson slashed .323/.344/.484 last month in 96 plate appearances, his first in the majors. Of course, he stayed in the lineup Monday afternoon at Petro Park, shifting from third base to right field, and tied his brief-career high with three hits. Batting s

SAN DIEGO – Tyler Wells waited 508 days to pitch in a major league game. He could handle another 18 minutes. Padres starter Yu Darvish threw 30 pitches in the top of the first inning, surrendered a home run to Jeremiah Jackson, hit two batters and issued a walk. The three strikeouts extended his stay on the mound while Wells paced in the dugout. Fi

As summer turns to autumn and a long-lost baseball season approaches its conclusion, the Nationals must cling to whatever bright spots remain. And there may be no bigger bright spot the rest of this month than the one that continues to follow Cade Cavalli nearly every time he takes the mound. Cavalli has been far from perfect, and his most recent s

SAN DIEGO – Jeremiah Jackson is in right field again tonight and Dylan Beavers is in left, as the Orioles try to clinch their series against the Padres following last night’s 4-3 win. Beavers has reached base safely 25 times to begin his career, tied with Glenn Gulliver (1982) for second most in franchise history through the first 15 games behind C

The Nationals’ ever-changing catching corps underwent more change today when the club signed veteran Jorge Alfaro to a major league deal and sent C.J. Stubbs back to Triple-A one day after he was part of a shutout win in his major league debut. The move, which caught plenty by surprise, brings a more experienced player to a Nats roster lacking in t

SAN DIEGO - Before the Orioles could hand Tyler Wells the ball tonight, they had to reinstate him from the 60-day injured list and do some roster maneuvering. They also returned infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 60-day IL, a little earlier than they indicated yesterday. He’s also back. Catcher Ma
