Cole gets dismantled as Nats fall for first time this season 13-6
ATLANTA - Right-hander A.J. Cole struggled with consistency in his first start and the Braves took full advantage. Highlighted by a pair of three-run homers from Preston Tucker and Freddie Freeman, Atlanta scored nine runs in the first three innings and cruised to an emphatic 13-6 win. It was the Nationals' first loss of the season. The Braves pounded out 15 hits, including two homers and four doubles. It was the most runs the Nats had allowed since a 13-0 loss to Atlanta July 8, 2017 at Nats...

Martinez on lineup, Cole, Murphy, Hellickson and more

Martinez on lineup, Cole, Murphy, Hellickson and more
ATLANTA - The pregame drama for the Nationals and their 4-0 record was manager Davey Martinez submitting a lineup that originally had Bryce Harper batting second. About a half an hour later, Martinez switched the lineup back to Anthony Rendon at No. 2 and Harper in the No. 3 hole. "That was a misprint," Martinez said. "That's something I thought about. I kind of construct lineups a few days in advance. It's something that I was thinking about looking at and I must have said it. When I...

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - Right-hander A.J. Cole wants to be just like his buddies. The first four starters for the Nationals were 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA and the offense has provided their pitching staff with a league-leading 29 runs. The Nats pitching staff has allowed only 13 runs and other than the them, the Pirates are the only undefeated teams remaining at 4-0. Cole's major league debut came here in Atlanta back in 2015. The Nats made a miraculous comeback on April 28, 2015 to win 13-12 but Cole struggled...

Severino looks the part of sage veteran in return to Nats

Severino looks the part of sage veteran in return to Nats
ATLANTA - It was only his 36th game in the major leagues, but Nationals catcher Pedro Severino looked like the veteran catching Tanner Roark's first start and win of 2018, and going 2-for-2 at the plate in an 8-1 dispatch of the Braves to open their series at SunTrust Park. Roark spun seven masterful innings, keeping pace with the Nats' amazing starting pitching to begin the season. Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Roark have combined to pitch 25 1/3 innings and have allowed...

Kelley's 2018 debut displays renewed confidence and strength

Kelley's 2018 debut displays renewed confidence and strength
ATLANTA - Just ask Shawn Kelley about his pitching last season: He knew it wasn't close to what he was capable of delivering. Kelley struggled through injury and rough outings, stumbling to a career-worst 7.27 ERA. This followed back-to-back seasons of 2.45 and 2.67 ERAs. The right-hander landed on the disabled list several times last season with a strained lower back, strained right trapezius muscle and, finally, bone chips in his right elbow. Fast forward to 2018. Kelley watched as the Nats...

Roark, Harper and Severino highlight Nats 8-1 win over Braves
ATLANTA - Three players who had yet to appear in a Nationals game in 2018 came up big in an 8-1 series-opening victory over the Braves at SunTrust Park. Tanner Roark, Pedro Severino and Shawn Kelley made significant contributions, coupled with a mammoth three-run homer by Bryce Harper, lifting the Nats to their fourth straight win to begin the season. The Nationals are 4-0 for the first time in franchise history. Roark (1-0) tossed seven innings, allowing only one run. Kelley fired a shutout...

Bryce Harper three-run blast and Roark cruises (Nats win 8-1)

Bryce Harper three-run blast and Roark cruises (Nats win 8-1)
ATLANTA - A struggle early for Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb. His defense did not help him. In the first, Trea Turner reached on a fielding error by Freddie Freeman. Turner went to third on Newcomb's throwing error. Anthony Rendon's groundout to shortstop scored Turner. Unable to find the strike zone in the first, Newcomb then walked Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman. Howie Kendrick followed with a run-scoring double off the right field wall. Harper slid under the tag and bobble of Braves...

Murphy moves on to field running; Hellickson update
ATLANTA - Daniel Murphy moved from the treadmill to running on the field today, another positive update as the veteran recovers from offseason microfracture right knee surgery that has placed him on the disabled list to begin the season. "I thought it went well," Murphy said of running on the field. "Well, the grass doesn't really move. But obviously it's more realistic. As far as being limited in my pace I would say no. Yeah, same pace." Murphy said his rehab focus continues to be about...

Wieters on DL stint, Severino starts versus Braves

Wieters on DL stint, Severino starts versus Braves
ATLANTA -- Starting catcher Matt Wieters has a mild left oblique strain and has been place on the 10-day disabled list. Nationals manager Davey Martinez said the injury was suffered in the fifth inning of Wieters last game against the Reds. "We don't want to take a chance," Martinez said. "He's got a very slight, mild strain in his oblique. Rather than let it become a really big issue, we figured we'd give it the 10 days and get it taken care of and get him going again." Wieters said he...

Game 4 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 4 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - Right-hander Tanner Roark did not get a chance to contribute in the 2017 National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Tonight at SunTrust Park, Roark will make his first appearance in a game that counts since October 1 of last year against the Pirates. This will also be his first start since September 27 at Philadelphia. Last season started off slowly for Roark, he pitched better as the season progressed and finished 13-11 with a career-high (or low) 4.67 ERA. In 2016, he...

Solís at full strength a difference maker for Nats
Left-hander Sammy Solís finished up spring with a scoreless inning against the Twins on Tuesday. His spring ERA was 1.80, the best ERA he has ever posted in camp. He struck out 15 and walked one in 10 innings. "He had a great spring training," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "He's very confident coming into the season, which I love. We will keep him going. He's a big part of that bullpen, and he knows that. He will pitch some big moments for us." In one inning Tuesday, Solís...

The Nationals made roster moves prior to their 3-1 exhibition loss to the Twins Tuesday by moving right-hander Koda Glover (right shoulder tendinitis) to the 60-day disabled list.

Gonzalez happy with three shutout innings (Nats lose 3-1)
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez did quite well for himself in his final tune-up before the regular season. Although it was only three innings, he still did not allow a run on one hit with one walk and two strikeouts. Gonzalez threw 37 pitches, 26 for strikes. The only hit was a leadoff single from Twins second baseman Brian Dozier. After that Gonzalez was able to settle in nicely the rest of the way. He credited catcher Miguel Montero and new Nationals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist for guiding him...

Martinez says his lineup goal is to maximize health

Martinez says his lineup goal is to maximize health
With a new manager and a new philosophy come the inevitable questions of how Davey Martinez will construct the lineup of a Nationals club that has won its division two years in a row. Last season, many second-guessed then-skipper Dusty Baker about where he put Anthony Rendon in his lineup. Why was Rendon hitting so low in the lineup when he could consistently put the ball in play? Wouldn't you want one of your best hitters to get as many at-bats as possible per game? Martinez showed a few...

Living close to spring training facility, Crowe had a jump start
Right-hander Wil Crowe was able to pitch in nine games in 2017 for the first time at the pro level. The former South Carolina standout had Tommy John surgery in 2015, so after getting his feet wet with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Nationals and short-season Single-A Auburn Doubledays last season, Crowe is ready to take the next step in the rehab process. Crowe joined the Nationals after 14 regular season starts and 90-plus innings with the Gamecocks. Nationals pitching coordinator Paul...
