Updates on Doolittle and Strasburg (Nats win 25-4)

Updates on Doolittle and Strasburg (Nats win 25-4)
Nationals closer Sean Doolittle had a second MRI recently to check the progress on his left toe inflammation. The results do not point to a quick return, but Doolittle said he is making incremental progress. Doolittle has been on the disabled list since July 7. "I guess it was good," Doolittle said. "There's still some more doctors that are going to look at it, but it was very, very similar. It was virtually unchanged from the one that we had a little over a week before. So while I was...

He opened with an apology for the tweets he wrote in 2011 and 2012. "For starters, I want to apologize to everybody that was affected by things that I said: LBGT community, African-American community, special-needs community," Turner said. "I'm truly sorry for what I said and I want to take full responsibility for that. I want to...

Martinez on Harper's homer, Roark on fixing his delivery

Martinez on Harper's homer, Roark on fixing his delivery
MILWAUKEE - Bryce Harper returned from his stomach bug to launch a three-run shot over the right field fence that got out of Miller Park in a hurry in the Nationals' 7-3 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. Manager Davey Martinez was impressed with the blast. "He's actually been pretty good," Martinez said. "He's working some good at-bats. To see him hit that ball, especially on a line, was awesome. Hopefully, he can continue swinging the bat like that. For him, it's just getting balls in...

Roark baffles Brewers with commanding sinker in 7-3 win

Roark baffles Brewers with commanding sinker in 7-3 win
MILWAUKEE - Nationals starter Tanner Roark has worked diligently the past two weeks to retool his mechanics on his sinking fastball. When Roark's sinker is on, every other pitch is better. He calls it his "bread and butter" pitch. When Roark can use and command the two-seam and four-seam fastballs in heavy doses, the opponent has little chance to guess at when he will go off-speed. It is an advantage that made Roark lethal in 2016 to the tune of 16 wins, and an advantage Roark has been...

Roark features fastball for quick start (Nats win 7-3)

Roark features fastball for quick start (Nats win 7-3)
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals jumped on the Brewers with a big first inning, doing most of the damage with two outs. Adam Eaton walked and Matt Adams was hit by pitch to set the table. Juan Soto was walked by Brewers starter Freddy Peralta to load the bases. Daniel Murphy followed with a two-run single to center field to score Eaton and Adams. Soto scored on a wild pitch from Peralta that catcher Manny Piña was unable to handle. Peralta was late to cover home plate and Soto scored standing...

MILWAUKEE - Nationals manager Davey Martinez was pleased to report that Bryce Harper has recovered enough from the stomach bug that made him a late scratch Tuesday. Harper is back in the lineup for today's series finale, batting third and playing center field. "Yeah, he's feeling better," Martinez said. "Had something in his stomach. He ate this morning and says he feels pretty good. So he's in there." Martinez spoke with Trea Turner after Monday's bunt in the fourth inning ended with...

Game 101 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - Right fielder Adam Eaton had one of his best offensive games this season Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, a homer and tied a season high with three RBIs. His three-run shot in the second off of Brewers starter Junior Guerra opened up a 4-0 Nationals lead. It was his first home run since the two homers he hit back in the opening series of the season at Cincinnati. Eaton is now hitting .324 and has a .364 average in his last 15 games, with 20 hits, six walks and...

Kintzler helps Roark rediscover confidence in his sinker

Kintzler helps Roark rediscover confidence in his sinker
MILWAUKEE - Right-hander Tanner Roark was at his wit's end. He wasn't getting outs like he used to. Losses were piling up. So Roark went back to video of his 2016 campaign. That was the season he posted a career-high 16 wins and a 2.83 ERA. He made a slight tweak to his mechanics. But results still did not turn his way. Roark kept studying. He came to the realization that he had strayed away from what made him effective: his sinking fastball. He was not finishing well on this pitch. "For me,...

Nats unable to hold early 4-0 lead, fall 5-4 in 10 innings at Milwaukee

Nats unable to hold early 4-0 lead, fall 5-4 in 10 innings at Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals raced out to a 4-0 lead early, but the Brewers chipped away, and eventually walked off with a 5-4, 10-inning shocker at Miller Park, to win the series. Tyler Saladino's bases-loaded sacrifice fly to left-center field off of left-hander Matt Grace (0-1) in the tenth scored Lorenzo Cain from third base. Juan Soto's throw was strong but curled back up the line for catcher Spencer Kieboom. Cain scored standing up before Kieboom could apply the tag. It was the Brewers'...

Eaton homers, Hellickson steady (Nats fall 5-4 in 10)
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals offense woke up with some power hits early on to set the tone at Miller Park. Ryan Zimmerman laced a run-scoring double to center field in the first. Adam Eaton launched a no-doubt three-run shot in the second. Eaton's blast was set up thanks to a throwing error by Brewers starter Junior Guerra that allowed Michael A. Taylor to reach second base. Spencer Kieboom also drew a base on balls in front of Eaton. Both of the Nationals' scoring hits came with two...

MILWAUKEE - Manager Davey Martinez planned to speak to shortstop Trea Turner during pregame Tuesday as the Nationals prepare for the Brewers. Martinez decided to bench Turner for tonight's game after the shortstop didn't run to first base on a bunt attempt in Monday's 6-1 loss. "I haven't talked to him yet but (the) conversation will be had," Martinez said. "Honestly, I really felt after yesterday he really needed a day off. He's available, but let him ponder about it and let's get him...

Game 100 lineups: Nats at Brewers (updated)

Game 100 lineups: Nats at Brewers (updated)
MILWAUKEE - Surprising a bit to realize that tonight the Nationals will play in their 100th game of the season, and with a win they would get back to .500 at 50-50. One of their more pleasant surprises this season has been the pitching by starter Jeremy Hellickson (4-1, 3.29 ERA). His consistency has been a key component for the Nats as they attempt to get all of their starters back in sync. Hellickson has allowed only one earned run in his last two starts, a span of 11 innings. Opposing...

Little mistakes not allowing Nats to get on a roll again

Little mistakes not allowing Nats to get on a roll again
MILWAUKEE - This has happened to the Nationals a few times this season. After an emotional win, they follow a good game with a dud. On Sunday, the Nats endured two rain delays and still were able to score runs on multiple occasions in a 6-2 win over Atlanta. They pounded out 15 hits, tallied in four separate innings and left 12 men on base. On Monday, the Nats were befuddled by Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacín, held to one run on five hits, scoring only once on Daniel Murphy's second homer of...

Turner and Zimmerman explain misplays in 6-1 loss to Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals stayed close as long as they could Monday night, but a bases-loaded triple by Christian Yelich helped the Brewers put the game away in the sixth, and they went on to win 6-1 in the series opener at Miller Park. The Nats fell below .500 again at 49-50 and now trail both the Phillies and Braves by six games in the National League East. Nats starter Gio Gonzalez (6-7) tied a season high by walking five, but wiggled out of jams all night until the sixth. Leading 3-1, the...

Murphy goes yard in support of Gonzalez (Nats fall 6-1)

Murphy goes yard in support of Gonzalez (Nats fall 6-1)
MILWAUKEE - If there ever was a swing that reminded fans of the Daniel Murphy of 2017, it was his line drive solo homer to right field on an 0-1 offering from Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin to lead off the second inning. It was Murphy's second homer of the season, but demonstrated that Murphy may indeed have found that consistent swing that lifted the Nationals offense last season. Later in the inning, Trea Turner was called out on strikes on a pitch that appeared low in the zone. Turner...

Martinez motivated to get Zimmerman going
MILWAUKEE - Ryan Zimmerman gets his first start tonight since returning from the disabled list. One reason Zimmerman hasn't seen a start yet this week is because of Matt Adams' success against right-handers. The Brewers are going to throw three straight right-handers against the Nationals. But manager Davey Martinez said that might not prevent Zimmerman from getting starts anyway. "We got to get him in the lineup," Martinez said. "We got to get him going. Like I said before when he's hot,...

The Nats are back at .500 again (49-49) as they embark on a seven-game road trip against the Brewers and Marlins. The Brewers lead the NL wild card standings, a full five games ahead of the Nationals. Milwaukee is a formidable opponent at 56-45, just...
