Koda Glover throws shutout inning for Triple-A Syracuse
Right-handed reliever Koda Glover had a better outing in his second minor league rehab appearance for Triple-A Syracuse on Friday night.

Nats unable to produce big innings in 8-5 loss to Braves
The Braves took down the Nationals 8-5 thanks to an offense that collected 12 hits, including five doubles and two homers, while grabbing the first game of a critical three-game set to begin the second half of the 2018 season. The Nationals appeared to be ready to duke it out with Atlanta after the Braves plated two in the first frame. Adam Eaton walked to lead off the bottom of the first. Trea Turner laid down a sacrifice bunt to push Eaton to second. Bryce Harper singled to put runners at...

Adams homer helps Strasburg early (Nats fall 8-5)
The Braves moved quickly to score first against the Nats right-hander Stephen Strasburg. Ronald Acuña Jr., singled and stole second. Ozzie Albies doubled to score Acuña. Freddie Freeman's grounder to third base was enough to score Albies because first baseman Matt Adams had to stretch to the ground to catch the throw from third baseman Anthony Rendon. The Nationals were aggressive in their own right in the bottom of the first against Braves starter Aníbal Sánchez. Adam Eaton walked...

GoFundMe page started to help Nats assistant GM Doug Harris with medical costs
Nationals assistant general manager and vice president Doug Harris has been battling leukemia since 2015. In May of 2017, it appeared he had defeated the cancer, with the bone marrow transplant appearing to take full effect. But the cancer was not completely eliminated. The next step for Harris is a doctor-recommended CAR-T cell therapy, which is still in trial research. The therapy is extremely expensive. His wife, Lisa, has set up a GoFundMe page to try to offset the cost. The Harrises are...

Zimmerman understands role as he returns from DL stint

Zimmerman understands role as he returns from DL stint
The Nationals reinstated first baseman Ryan Zimmerman from the disabled list on Friday, but he was not in the lineup for the first game of their series against the second-place Braves. Matt Adams got the start at first base and batted sixth in the order against veteran right-hander Aníbal Sánchez. Zimmerman had been on the DL with a right oblique strain. Zimmerman is a career .208 (11-for-53) against Sánchez; Adams has never faced him. But Nationals manager Davey Martinez said it was...

Doolittle looks for more emotion from Nats in second half
Monday night, Nationals fans and the world saw Bryce Harper pump up the crowd, get charged up during his home run hitting barrage and then show genuine emotion during the postgame news conference following an electric late comeback to win the 2018 Home Run Derby in Washington, D.C. Many felt that display of emotion looked like the Harper they saw from 2012 to 2017, where he showed a youthful exuberance and energy every game. That way of playing the game defined the personality of his team and...

Could Davey Martinez help keep Bryce Harper with the Nats?

Could Davey Martinez help keep Bryce Harper with the Nats?
The All-Star week was a memorable experience for Nats star Bryce Harper. He went 0-for-2 in his fifth start in the All-Star Game, but got to play outfield for the National League in Nationals Park. He was heard in-game complimenting Mike Trout after his home run. The American League beat the NL 8-6 in 10 innings. Fans will remember Harper's Home Run Derby championship Monday night, when he hit nine straight homers in about 55 seconds to topple Kyle Schwarber, 19-18, in the final round and win...

Scherzer on his All-Star matchups with Trout and Judge
Right-hander Max Scherzer started the 89th All-Star Game and finished two innings. He allowed an Aaron Judge solo shot, one of only two hits in his outing. Scherzer struck out four batters and walked one. The AL defeated the NL 8-6 in 10 innings thanks to All-Star Game MVP Alex Bregman's tiebreaking solo homer in the 10th. The 14 runs were the most combined runs scored in an All-Star game since 2002. The walk Scherzer allowed came in the top of the first. After striking out Mookie Betts and...

Opponents enjoy one game as teammates of Max Scherzer (AL wins 8-6 in 10)
Right-hander Max Scherzer gets the start in tonight's 89th All-Star Game. National League outfielder Christian Yelich, who now plays for the Brewers, is making his initial All-Star appearance. Yelich played five seasons for the Marlins, an NL East team that faced the Nationals 19 times a season. Yelich is very familiar with Scherzer and is excited he gets to play on the same team with the Cy Young winner. "It's nice to have him on the same team for a night, I guess you could say," Yelich...

Doolittle enjoying All-Star festivities despite injury, Zimmerman rolls in rehab debut
Despite not being able to play in the All-Star Game because he is on the disabled list with a toe injury, Nationals closer Sean Doolittle was certainly thrilled and honored to be selected as a member of the National League team. This week is the one-year anniversary of the trade that sent the closer from Oakland to the Nationals. So to be named to the NL squad meant a great deal to Doolittle. "A lot. I just got traded over here a year ago, maybe a year ago yesterday," Doolittle said. "Almost...

Nationals slugger Bryce Harper is the headliner on his home field tonight as the 2018 Home Run Derby gets underway at Nationals Park.

Bryce Harper says he doesn't feel pressure to succeed after .214 start

Bryce Harper says he doesn't feel pressure to succeed after .214 start
Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper held court this afternoon before the Home Run Derby and talked about how much he loves to play baseball. But after 96 games in the 2018 campaign, as his Nationals reach the All-Star break, it sometimes appears like Harper hasn't been loving every day this season. He's hitting only .214, the lowest of any of the National League All-Stars who are preparing for Tuesday's Midsummer Classic. A .243 mark in 2016 was the lowest batting average he ever had to...

He struck out seven and walked none. Strasburg (0-1) threw 82 pitches, 55 for strikes. The P-Nats lost the game, 5-4, to Frederick. He had thrown 57 pitches over 3 1/3 innings July 10.

Voth finally gets his shot to start for Nationals

Voth finally gets his shot to start for Nationals
NEW YORK - The fourth time is the charm for right-hander Austin Voth. Or at least his fourth call to the major leagues. On Saturday afternoon, Voth will finally make his big league debut as he gets the ball for the Nationals against the Mets at Citi Field. Voth has previously been summoned on Oct 2, 2017. April 29, 2018 and June 18, 2018. His first start is today. "I don't know what the record is (for being called up and not getting into a game)," Voth said. "I've been waiting for this...

Roark steadies himself, but Nats offense stymied in 4-2 loss
NEW YORK - Right-hander Tanner Roark struggled early but then settled in to finish five innings Friday night.

Herrera appreciates confidence manager has in him (Nats fall 4-2)
NEW YORK - Nationals right-handed reliever Kelvin Herrera struggled a bit at the beginning of his appearance late in Thursday's 5-4 win over the New York Mets.

Herrera then walked the next two batters. With two men on and one away, Herrera focused on throwing strikes. He induced a weak pop out to first...

Game 94 lineups: Nats at Mets (Rendon delivers in NY)
NEW YORK - Third baseman Anthony Rendon again reminded fans of his fluid power swing on Thursday, crushing a pair of line drive home runs over the left field wall to help the Nationals take control in a 5-4 win over the Mets. Fans in Flushing are well acquainted with Rendon. In 42 games at Citi Field, Rendon is hitting .302 with 20 runs scored, 11 doubles, 10 homers and 42 RBIs. The modest Rendon said those gaudy numbers at this stadium might be more a product of the frequency of games he has...

NEW YORK - The Nationals got just enough from each facet of their club to eke out a 5-4 series-opening victory against the Mets at Citi Field on Thursday. Anthony Rendon hit two homers, Bryce Harper cranked a moon shot and Max Scherzer allowed only three runs over seven innings to go into the break with a 12-5 record. The Nats improved to 47-46, keeping pace with the Phillies, but are still 5 1/2 games back in the National League East. The Braves had the night off. "I think that's a huge key,...
