To say the least, the Orioles have had their struggles with the last-place Detroit Tigers this year. In May, right after the Orioles had impressively taken two of three at St. Louis, they lost three straight at Comerica Park by a combined 12-3 score. Then they came home Monday night, after Sunday’s ninth-inning comeback win at Toronto and lost 11-0

ATLANTA - Like a library desperate for an overdue rental, the Nationals were making empty threats, lacking the power to follow through.  Washington had scored just five total runs and gone a combined 4-for-22 with runners in scoring position over the last three games, all losses.  But Wednesday in Atlanta, the Nats finally broke through, and all it

To avoid another sweep tonight, they’ll count heavily on their youth and the handful of prospects who made it to the majors. Gunnar Henderson is batting third tonight for the first time after making his debu

ATLANTA - Thirty-four Nationals have pitched at least one inning this season, a remarkably high total that includes five rookies and three position players.

ATLANTA - Last night’s injury to Patrick Corbin shined an even brighter light on the Nationals’ missing pitching depth. But it doesn’t get to the heart of the team’s central issue right now: lack of run production.  The Nationals have scored just five total runs over their last three games, including two in each of the first two games of their seri

ATLANTA - Cade Cavalli, Sean Doolittle, Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Rainey, Jackson Tetreault, Evan Lee… Patrick Corbin. The list of injured Nationals pitchers contains rookies and veterans.
