Scherzer and Martinez on Caps winning it all (Stanley Cup coming to Nats Park)
The two biggest Nationals fans of the Capitals' Stanley Cup run over these last few weeks have undoubtedly been starting pitcher Max Scherzer and manager Davey Martinez. Scherzer, who led the "Let's Go Caps!" cheer alongside teammate Ryan Zimmerman prior to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday in D.C., said he was so thrilled to see them finally push through and win the title. "It's unbelievable," Scherzer said. "Just to see the city, the fans and the team themselves. What...

Romero reinstated, joins low Single-A Hagerstown Suns

Romero reinstated, joins low Single-A Hagerstown Suns
The Nationals have placed left-hander Seth Romero on the low Single-A Hagerstown Suns active roster. He will make his first start for the Suns on Thursday night at home against Lakewood. Romero, the club's top selection in the 2017 first-year player draft, was sent home from Nats spring training for violating club policy March 5. The violation was of a Nats' club policy and not a Major League Baseball infraction. His initial appearance this season with the Suns will be his first one in pro...

Adams announces presence early (Nats win 4-2)

Adams announces presence early (Nats win 4-2)
Matt Adams fouled a ball off the top of his foot over the weekend in Atlanta. It was a play that looked eerily similar to the injury that kept Anthony Rendon out of the lineup for 14 games, there some worried that the big first baseman would be out for a while himself. Adams announced to anyone who cared that he is just fine, thank you, by getting hold of a second-inning offering from Rays starter Nathan Eovaldi and sending it over the right field wall. Adams' 13th homer of the season came on...

Updates on Murphy, Eaton and Zimmerman
The Nationals have decided to hold steady with Daniel Murphy. The veteran second baseman, recovering from offseason knee surgery, will continue playing games at Double-A Harrisburg. "I talked to Daniel yesterday and we had a great conversation in length," said manager Davey Martinez. "We thought it would be best that he continues to play in the minor leagues and continues to get better at second base, and feel more comfortable. He was all good for that. We are going to let him do that for...

How the Nats returned to first place in 57 days
BALTIMORE - It took until late into the night May 30, but the Nationals are back in first place in the National League East. The Nats won their sixth straight with a 2-0 dispatch of the Orioles on the road, behind eight shutout innings from Max Scherzer (9-1). The Mets grounded the Braves 4-1 in Atlanta, thanks to a pair of RBIs from Brandon Nimmo and Adrián González. Atlanta's loss and the Nats win provided Washington with a 1/2 game lead in the division at the start of play May 31. It...

Scherzer tweaks fastball in 2-0 win, strikes out 12 as Nats sweep O's

Scherzer and Harper get going again (Nats win 2-0)

Scherzer and Harper get going again (Nats win 2-0)
BALTIMORE - It is very difficult to beat the Nationals' Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper on the same night. Unfortunately, about 33 times this season opponents will have to contend with just that dilemma. That was what faced the Orioles on Wednesday night. Scherzer struck out six batters, including the last four batters he faced, in the first three frames. Harper crushed his 18th homer, a solo shot off of a 3-2 pitch from Orioles starter David Hess, in the third inning. Chris Davis singled with...

Eaton to begin rehab games on Friday, Soto to lead off tonight
BALTIMORE - Nationals manager Davey Martinez announced that outfielder Adam Eaton (out with an ankle injury since April 9) will go out on a rehab assignment beginning on Friday, most likely with Double-A Harrisburg at home. "He ran today, looked really good," Martinez said. "So he's getting ready to go out to rehab this weekend. He'll get first maybe two at-bats, maybe three and then we'll go from there. We haven't decided where to go yet. Based on weather, we'll see where we send...

Game 54 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - For the fourth consecutive road series, the Nationals have the chance for a series sweep after winning the first two games of a three-game set. The Nats are riding a five-game win streak and have won nine in a row on the road. The road streak is tied with the 2011 Nationals, who won nine in a row from Sept. 12 to Sept. 26, 2011. And for the first time in his young career, left fielder Juan Soto is going to leadoff. Last night the 19-year-old produced his first three-hit major league...

BALTIMORE - The firsts for a new major league player normally play out over the course of a season and beyond. But when you are 19-year-old Juan Soto, you get all the boxes checked in the first nine days. Soto added to his spectacular start with a 3-for-3 Tuesday night, his first three-hit game of his career, as the Nationals got by the Orioles 3-2 for their fifth consecutive win. His average is .393. Soto also stole his first base, threw out his first batter from left field on a 7-6-2 outfield...

Hellickson and Reynolds haunt former team in Nats' 3-2 win
BALTIMORE - The Nationals edged the Orioles 3-2 thanks to an impressive homecoming for former Orioles Jeremy Hellickson and Mark Reynolds. Hellickson (2-0) allowed two runs over five innings and Reynolds slammed his sixth homer of the season as the Nats ran their record on the road o 18-8. The 31-22 overall record now challenges for the top spot in the National League East. Hellickson went 2-6 with a 6.97 ERA over 10 starts for the Orioles in 2017. Reynolds fared better, hitting 60 homers in...

BALTIMORE - Bryce Harper and O's shortstop Manny Machado got Tuesday's game off to a hot start with solo homers in their first at-bats.

Martinez happy with bullpen depth as regulars close in on return

Martinez happy with bullpen depth as regulars close in on return
BALTIMORE - With the news that reliever Ryan Madson is close to returning after a pectoral strain has had him shelved since May 17, Nationals manager Davey Martinez will have to decide who goes and who stays in an eight-man bullpen that has done a nice job recently of finishing games. The bullpen has allowed only two earned runs in the last five games, the Nats have gone 4-1 in that span. Coupled with the Madson news is that left-hander Matt Grace is also close to returning from his groin...

Taylor looking to get on a roll after positive week of at-bats
Nationals center fielder Michael A. Taylor is looking to build off of a couple of solid games at the plate and on the field in the last week. He has six hits in his last six games. Taylor smacked a two-run homer and added a double in Friday's 9-5 win over the Marlins. On Saturday Taylor demonstrated poise with two walks. Then on Sunday he lined a triple off the right center field wall in his first at-bat. Martinez said he is seeing some positive steps forward for Taylor after starting off the...

Strasburg wants to better execute his pitches
MIAMI - Stephen Strasburg did not feel like he had his best stuff on Sunday. Pretty scary notion for the rest of the National League, because the right-hander still went out and delivered five scoreless innings in a 5-2 Nationals win over the Marlins. Strasburg surrendered only three hits, all singles, and did not allow the Marlins past second base. He walked two and struck out eight. His first three strikeouts were with the changeup, two from the curveball, and three from his four-seam...
