How Doolittle's routine was altered but still resulted in a save

How Doolittle's routine was altered but still resulted in a save
The pair of rainouts from mid-May against the Yankees set up an unusual day of baseball and challenged normal routines, especially for the Nats' closer, Sean Doolittle. The Nationals won the suspended game, 5-3. The Yankees took the second game of the night, 4-2. In the first game, the Nats and Yankees resumed play in the bottom of the sixth. The Nats benefitted from a two-run shot from rookie Juan Soto to break the 3-3 tie. The home run hit the last row of the second deck in right field, one...

Despite another tough loss to Yankees, Fedde believes he "can grow from it"

Despite another tough loss to Yankees, Fedde believes he "can grow from it"
The Yankees used a two-run shot by Aaron Hicks and a key RBI double from Giancarlo Stanton to down the Nationals 4-2 on Monday night in the makeup of a rained-out game from May 16. The Nats won the suspended game 5-3 on a mammoth two-run shot by Juan Soto that almost went over the upper deck in right field. Right-hander Erick Fedde surrendered three runs over 5 1/3 innings in the loss, walking two and striking out four, dropping to 0-2. Fedde has given up the lead in two matchups against the...

After three innings, Fedde has allowed only two hits, both in the first...

Nats will stay aggressive on base despite a pair of snafus Sunday
The Nationals bats were unable to get much going against the Giants on Sunday, so Michael A. Taylor and Trea Turner tried to get aggressive on the base paths. Taylor stole one base but was also was caught stealing at second base when he overran the bag. Turner was caught off of first base on a tricky move by Giants starter Derek Holland. Nationals manager Davey Martinez said he never discourages his players from being aggressive on the bases, it just did not work out in their favor on...

Scherzer on battle with Crawford: "I have to be better than him"

Scherzer on battle with Crawford: "I have to be better than him"
Right-hander Max Scherzer was fairly satisfied with his start against the Giants except for not being able to win the individual battles with one hitter in particular. Yes, you guessed it, that would be Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford. Crawford singled, doubled and his two-run homer was all the offense needed in a 2-0 Giants series-clinching win Sunday over the Nationals. "I threw good pitches to him," Scherzer said. "He put great swings on them. He wins. I lose. It's as simple as that....

Crawford gets to Scherzer with homer (Giants win 2-0)
Right-hander Max Scherzer allowed a walk and a single in the first inning. But then settled in to a Scherzer-like start with an amazing six strikeouts in a row. The Nats connected with a pair of hits to begin the second against Giants starter Derek Holland courtesy of Mark Reynolds and Juan Soto. But a Michael A. Taylor 5-3 double play and a Wilmer Difo strikeout ended that chance. Trea Turner was caught off of first base in the third to end another possibility. He felt Holland had balked....

Kintzler familiar with forearm strain, goes to DL
The Nationals placed right-hander Brandon Kintzler on the 10-day disabled list with a right forearm flexor strain. Kintzler said he has been dealing with this issue off and on for a nearly a month, and it turned into bigger problem this week. The reliever struggled Friday, recording only one out, allowing three runs on three hits with no walks, two strikeouts and a hit by pitch. Saturday, he hit another batter and allowed a double to Buster Posey. "(It) just got to the point where I really...

Gonzalez blames lack of usual control in shorter start vs. Giants

Gonzalez blames lack of usual control in shorter start vs. Giants
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez did not have his usual control and that cost him against the Giants on Saturday. "The control was a little bit off a little bit after the second inning," Gonzalez said. "After that, it was just trying to finish the inning. Trying to get through it." Gonzalez walked four, allowing six hits and four runs in only 3 1/3 innings. Justin Miller relieved and allowed a sacrifice fly to center field, but recorded two outs to get out of the threat in the fourth...

Strasburg to disabled list, Eaton thrilled to return in 7-5 win
For the second game in a row, a Nationals starting pitcher was unable to get through five innings against the Giants. On Friday night, right-hander Stephen Strasburg left with right shoulder inflammation. He threw 35 pitches and lasted only two innings. But the offense got off to a good start today, and the bullpen, led by Justin Miller and Sean Doolittle, minimized the damage as the Nats dropped the Giants 7-5 to even the series. "A win is a win is a win is a win," Nats manager Davey...

Bullpen weighs lack of use versus overuse after Strasburg leaves early

Bullpen weighs lack of use versus overuse after Strasburg leaves early
In a game where your starter lasts only two innings, the bullpen goes into action with all hands on deck. The only problem for the Nationals on Friday night in a 9-5 loss to the Giants was that it was the third time in the last five games the bullpen has had to go at least seven innings. On Saturday in Atlanta, the relievers pitched seven innings of a 14-inning contest. On Sunday, when Jeremy Hellickson left injured in the first inning, the bullpen had to log 8 2/3 innings. On Friday against...

Strasburg exits after two innings (Giants win 9-5)
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg was very hittable in the first two frames Friday night against the Giants. The Giants put together three runs on five hits, highlighted by a solo homer from Andrew McCutchen and run-scoring hits by Alen Hanson and Hunter Pence. McCutchen's sixth homer gave San Francisco the 1-0 lead and Pence's double in the second made it 3-0. Strasburg ended up lasting only two innings before being removed from the game. So something is definitely wrong. He allowed three runs...
