The Orioles pounded out 13 hits on the night, tallying at least one base hit in every inning. Corbin gave up five runs on eight hits in five innings. He...

Bacus on major league debut: "I really made it"
BALTIMORE - In the suspended game that was completed Friday here at Camden Yards, 29-year-old Dakota Bacus made his major league debut for the Nationals. The right-handed reliever from Moline, Ill., fired two shutout innings, allowing no runs and no hits with one strikeout, finishing off a 6-2 loss to the Orioles. Bacus did his job. He struck out Austin Hays on a swinging strike three with an 87 mph slider. The Orioles were unable to hit the ball out of the infield in his two frames. Bacus...

Strasburg set for tests on hand on Monday; Kendrick gets day off
BALTIMORE - Manager Davey Martinez said injured starter Stephen Strasburg will have a medical evaluation done by a hand specialist in a couple of days. The right-hander was placed on the injured list Saturday with carpal tunnel neuritis in his right hand. Unfortunately, Martinez believes the issue won't be solved anytime soon. "We want to have a follow-up on Monday, going to do some nerve tests on his hand," Martinez said during the pregame Zoom video call. "I don't think this is going to...

Game 18 lineups: Nats at Orioles (updated)
BALTIMORE - The Nationals get back to work tonight seeking a series win for the first time since the July 30 "road" series at Nats Park against the Blue Jays. The Orioles won 6-2 to complete a three-game sweep of the Nats when the two teams finished in Baltimore the series finale that was suspended Sunday at Nationals Park when a tangled tarp kept the grounds crew from keeping the field playable. But the Nats roared back to take the regularly scheduled game at Camden Yards 15-3. After losing...

García on first start in the bigs: "A moment that I always dreamt of"

García on first start in the bigs: "A moment that I always dreamt of"
The Nationals lost their starting second baseman and most consistent hitter just two innings into the completion of their suspended game with the Orioles Friday night. Starlin Castro went down with a fractured right wrist. He was hitting .283 for the Nats so far this season. The injury was a major blow for the club that has seen pitchers go down to begin this shortened season, but this was their first position player to be lost for an extended time. Castro's veteran leadership was extremely...

Right-hander Stephen Strasburg starts tonight's regularly scheduled game at Camden Yards against the Orioles left-hander Tommy Milone.

"He says he is ready to go," Martinez said during a pregame Zoom video call. "We are going to send him out there, we will keep an eye on him. I think it's more of the ups for him as opposed to the pitch count. As...

Martinez keeping close eye on Doolittle, bullpen as season continues

Martinez keeping close eye on Doolittle, bullpen as season continues
The Nationals placed veteran reliever Sean Doolittle on the 10-day injured list Thursday and promoted rookie left-hander Seth Romero to the active roster. Doolittle is suffering from right knee fatigue. Manager Davey Martinez is devising a plan of how to get his left-handed closer back 100 percent healthy over the next week or so. The hope is that with his knee returning to full strength, the velocity in his fastball will return to normal too. "He's going to go back with us," Martinez said...

Romero on big league debut: "I was 100 percent nervous"

Romero on big league debut: "I was 100 percent nervous"
Rookie Seth Romero made his major league debut Thursday against the Mets, coming in for starter Austin Voth to begin the fifth inning, in a game the Nats lost 8-2. It turned out to be an up-and-down outing for the 24-year-old, who had not pitched in a game in almost two years. But a big league promotion is a huge deal for a kid who missed the entire 2019 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. With the Nats down 3-1, the Nats' 2017 first-rounder took on the Mets' speedy outfielder Billy...

Harris returns, Romero to active roster, Doolittle to IL
Nationals manager Davey Martinez delivered news this morning from a rainy Citi Field, where the Nats hope to wrap up their four-game set with the Mets before they board the train for Baltimore tonight. The club announced that left-hander Sam Freeman has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left flexor mass strain. He had a 0.00 ERA in five innings so far this season.

Soto's two homers can't overcome Sánchez's third rough start

Soto's two homers can't overcome Sánchez's third rough start
Manager Davey Martinez said this week that for Aníbal Sánchez to get back to being the pitcher who nearly threw a no-hitter in Game 1 of the 2019 National League Championship Series, the right-hander would have to get the ball down. But in his first two starts this season, Sánchez has not been able to do that, to the tune of nine runs allowed and an 0-2 record. Unfortunately, Sánchez is still looking for that command. Despite a mammoth three-run homer from Juan Soto, Sánchez...

Concern for Strasburg's hand; Harris likely back tomorrow
Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Stephen Strasburg has still got some tingling in his hand, something the right-hander reported feeling again after his last start Sunday afternoon at Nats Park against the Orioles. "I was a little bit concerned," Martinez said during his pregame Zoom video call. "We will see how he feels. Yesterday he threw a little bit. He still felt it, so we will see where he is at. It's raining right now, so we will see if he can go out there and throw again today....

Game 15 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 15 lineups: Nats at Mets
The Nationals love wearing their gray road uniforms. The Nats are finding all kinds of ways to win games, blowouts and pitcher's duels, all on the road. They won Monday night, 16-4, and Tuesday night, 2-1. Overall, they are 4-0 on the road this season, counting the two games with Toronto that had to be played at Nats Park. Manager Davey Martinez joked after their first game in New York they might wear the gray road uniforms more often. The Nationals are now 66-42 (.611) in their last 108 games...

Turner's early homer and late sliding catch bookend 2-1 win for Nats

Turner's early homer and late sliding catch bookend 2-1 win for Nats
Trea Turner went 2-for-4, smacking a solo homer over the right field wall on the game's second pitch and then helping the Nationals with his defense late in a nail-biting 2-1 win over the Mets at Citi Field on Tuesday night. The blast was the 10th leadoff home run of his career, a new Nationals record. With a home run and a single to start the contest, Turner was in the midst of five hits in his last six at-bats in the series. He now has two homers in the first two games in New York. After...

Romero looks "fearless," could be added to roster if Nats need lefty
Nationals manager Davey Martinez announced Monday that the club's five-man taxi squad included left-hander Seth Romero, who has never pitched in the major leagues. The 2017 first-round selection out of the University of Houston missed all of the 2019 season as he rehabbed from Tommy John surgery. It was an interesting choice, showing the Nats have confidence in Romero and his stuff and believe that he is very close to making that next step. Plus, looking at the structure of the Nats bullpen...

Fastball velocity a tick off, but Corbin's slider lethal again

Fastball velocity a tick off, but Corbin's slider lethal again
Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin used his slider, mixing it at different speeds, and rode a huge early lead to dismantle the Mets 16-4 in the first game of a four-game series Monday night at Citi Field. New York was held to five hits with Corbin on the hill. The left-hander used his slower slider early in counts, and then turned the velocity up later in at-bats to baffle the Mets lineup. He struck out four, allowing doubles to Jeff McNeil and Wilson Ramos. But those were the only two...

Reliever Will Harris made the trip to New York as a member of the five-man Nationals taxi squad, a good sign that if everything goes well this week, he could be back in the bullpen at the end of this series or in Baltimore. Manager Davey Martinez said Harris will throw to live batters tomorrow and that will be the final test to see how his tender groin has recovered the past 10 days. "I talked to him today (and) he said he felt good," Martinez said on a pregame Zoom call from Citi Field. "We...

Strasburg on concern over feeling in wrist and thumb: "I felt it"
Sunday began with Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo feeling pretty good about getting Stephen Strasburg back for his season debut. The right-hander had been out since being scratched from his first start on July 25 due to a right wrist impingement, which was causing tingling in his thumb. Max Scherzer is back on the schedule after his last start went only 27 pitches due to a sore right hamstring. He is expected back tomorrow night at New York. With Patrick Corbin and Aníbal Sánchez...

Martinez on suspended game: "It's part of this 2020 season"
The Orioles scored five runs in a big fifth inning off of Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg and led 5-2 in the top of the sixth inning when a rain delay was called on the field. Heavy rains lasted 20 minutes at Nats Park. But the bigger problem occurred when the grounds crew was unable to get the tarp on the field before the infield became unplayable. The tarp somehow became tangled as the grounds crew tried to unroll it, preventing them from unfurling it in time to protect the infield from...

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo met with the media Sunday prior to the series finale against the Orioles and talked about the state of his club after 11 games. He said there are some reasons the team has struggled out of the gate at 4-7. "They sound like excuses, so I'm not going to use 'em," Rizzo said on a Zoom video call. "But, yeah, obviously the unevenness of the schedule, that doesn't help with your routine, your rhythm, either on the mound or at the plate. But we're dealing...
