The Nationals’ 11th straight loss looked quite a bit like their previous 10. They did very little at the plate against the opposing starter. They got a solid outing from their own starter, who made one costly mistake. And they left themselves needing a last-ditch rally, which once again didn't come. This 3-1 loss to the Rockies could’ve happened la

TAMPA – Eight runs on seven hits.  That was the line for the Baltimore Orioles tonight in the second inning alone.  Twelve runs on 18 hits.  That was the line for the Tampa Bay Rays tonight in innings three through seven.   It culminated in a 12-8 Orioles loss, a tale of two games that the Orioles found themselves on the wrong end of. A contest tha

TAMPA – Nobody wants their window of opportunity in the big leagues to open due to injury. Unfortunately, that’s the nature of the game and the reality for some, especially for those grinding away at Triple-A.   Ryan Mountcastle’s extended absence affords Coby Mayo the opportunity to get a look without fear of demotion. Mayo has been working hard a

Mike Rizzo voiced his support for Davey Martinez today, saying the manager’s track record of success on the field and handling of the clubhouse has earned him the right to continue leading a Nationals team mired in its worst losing streak in 17 years. Making his weekly radio appearance on 106.7 The Fan’s “The Sports Junkies,” Rizzo was asked if the

Coby Mayo is getting his first start at George M. Steinbrenner Field tonight and Adley Rutschman is on the bench for the third game of the series against the Rays. Jordan Westburg is playing third base and batting second. Ramón Laureano is the cleanup hitter. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter and Colton Cowser is in left field. Cedric Mullins i

The sun came up today. Well, not really because we continue to experience disgusting weather here in the D.C. region, with clouds, rain and humidity that makes it feel like South Florida instead of the Mid-Atlantic. But regardless, the Nationals are playing another game tonight, another opportunity to try to end their losing streak, which has now r

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled LHP Trevor Rogers from Triple-A Norfolk. He will start tonight’s game.Optioned LHP Grant Wolfram to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles recalled left-hander Trevor Rogers from the taxi squad to make tonight’s start against the Rays in Tampa, and reliever Grant Wolfram was optioned after spending one day with the team. Rogers started Game 2 of a May 24 doubleheader in Boston and allowed two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings. He issued no walks and struck out five. In fou

It all happened so fast from Cole Henry’s perspective. He entered a 3-1 game in the top of the seventh Tuesday night at Nationals Park. Four batters later, he departed a 7-1 game with many in the crowd of 17,232 booing. The rookie reliever knew what was going on: “I’ve had a couple times this year where I just get too quick on my back side and star

The Orioles have more mound decisions on their plate. They needed a starter for tonight and must remove a reliever to fit him onto the roster. Trevor Rogers will go from taxi squad to active roster after his 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. And Grant Wolfram could be one-and-done after the Orioles recalled him yesterday t
