More from Turner and Ross on their big Saturday

More from Turner and Ross on their big Saturday
More on the amazing game for Trea Turner on Saturday when the Nats blasted the Reds 18-3: Turner went 5-for-5 with a walk, setting a new career high by reaching base six times. The last time a Nationals player pulled off that feat in one game was on April 30, when Anthony Rendon did it against the Mets. The four runs Turner scored also matched a career high. "As he goes, we go," said manager Dusty Baker. "A lot of things happen when Trea gets on base. He was on base all six times, went...

Turner, Taylor go for career highs in 18-3 rout
Trea Turner and Michael A. Taylor reached career highs in hits, and Joe Ross pitched seven solid innings as the Nationals crushed the Reds 18-3 before a sellout 40,139 at Nats Park. Turner went 5-for-5 with five singles, four runs, and a walk and two RBIs, setting a career high in hits. After some rough patches early in June, Turner has raised his average to .275. "I feel better," Turner said. "I feel like it starting to come around. I feel more comfortable. Found some holes today. I felt...

Zimmerman helps Ross with early offense (Nats cruise 18-3)

Zimmerman helps Ross with early offense (Nats cruise 18-3)
The Nationals got the offense going against right-hander Homer Bailey, who is making his first start of the season. He had surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow in February. Trea Turner led off the bottom of the first with a single and Brian Goodwin walked. After Bryce Harper struck out swinging, Ryan Zimmerman delivered a two-run double to make it 2-0 Nats. Daniel Murphy lined out to first base and Anthony Rendon was safe at first on a fielding error by Scooter Gennett. Matt...

Baker updates Taylor, Kelley, Glover and day game record
Nationals manager Dusty Baker has Michael A. Taylor back in the starting lineup for Saturday's late afternoon tilt with the Reds. It will mark Taylor's first start since June 20. He has missed the last few games due to an undisclosed injury. Taylor pinch-hit and struckout late in Friday's series opener against the Reds. "He's doing better," Baker said. "He's in there today. We decided it was better to keep him out and he hit yesterday in the cage. Much to my surprise I didn't know he...

Game 74 lineups: Reds at Nats

Game 74 lineups: Reds at Nats
The Nationals look for a series victory today against the Reds after last night's dramatic comeback win. Down 4-0 and 5-1, the Nats slowly chipped away to ultimately drop the Reds 6-5 in 10 innings on a Bryce Harper RBI single. It was the Nats' 19th comeback victory of the season, meaning they have pulled off this feat for 43.2 percent of their wins this season. Brian Goodwin, who hit two homers in the game, said this club just has a penchant for not giving up, regardless of the...

Strasburg struggles in humid conditions, Nats come back to win

Strasburg struggles in humid conditions, Nats come back to win
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg was unable to get off to a good start Friday. He struggled in the first inning, allowing four runs on five hits as the Reds raced out to a 4-0 lead. The Nationals eventually came all the way back and stunned Cincinnati 6-5 in 10 innings. As Strasburg watched the comeback, he had a chance to reflect on the rough beginning. "Tough one. Obviously first inning was not great but I can try to go as long as I can and as hard as I can and they picked me up," Strasburg...

With consistent at-bats, Goodwin displaying power stroke

With consistent at-bats, Goodwin displaying power stroke
Brian Goodwin went 3-for-4 with two homers and two walks as the Nationals dropped the Reds 6-5 in 10 innings. His biggest hit might have been the single with two outs in the 10th that got Trea Turner to third base to continue what turned out to be the game-deciding inning. Bryce Harper followed with a RBI single to win it for the Nats, who notched their 19th comeback win of the season. Goodwin's two solo shots came in the first and seventh innings of his first multi-homer game in the majors....

Strasburg struggles in first (Nats win 6-5 in 10)
A hot and humid night and the Reds did not agree with Stephen Strasburg in the top of the first. Cincinnati had no trouble finding a way to connect on Strasburg's pitches, beginning with a solo homer by Scooter Gennett. His drive, No. 10 on the season, went over the right-center field fence to give the Reds a 1-0 lead. Joey Votto then singled and Adam Duvall doubled. The Duvall double came when Wilmer Difo, starting in center field for the first time, and right fielder Bryce Harper converged....

Difo starts as Taylor continues to nurse undisclosed injury
Wilmer Difo will make his first start in center field tonight in the series opener against the Reds, due to the undisclosed injury to Michael A. Taylor. As in Miami, manager Dusty Baker did not give any further details as to why Taylor is out of the lineup again. "I told you the other day he was hurting," Baker said. "He feels better today. Just didn't feel it was worth a chance in him going back to where he was. We will see. They'll work on him during the course of the game. Might be able...

The North All-Stars defeated the South All-Stars 2-0 at the Carolina League All-Star Game Tuesday in Salem, Va. MVP third baseman Michael Chavis delivered a two-run double in the first inning to account for all the scoring. Catcher Taylor Gushue went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and one man left on base.

Turner's stolen base ability adds lethal dimension to potent offense

Turner's stolen base ability adds lethal dimension to potent offense
On Sunday in New York, shortstop Trea Turner earned a career-high and club record four stolen bases in the 5-1 loss to the Mets. Turner has 26 stolen bases on the season. Manager Dusty Baker said former major leaguer and current first base coach Davey Lopes has been a good influence on the speedy Turner. Lopes stole 557 bases in his career - 77 stolen bases in 1975 was his high water mark. "Well, yeah, improvement because Davey Lopes is working with him on reads and breaks and slides," Baker...

Despite 5-1 loss, Ross gaining confidence in changeup

Despite 5-1 loss, Ross gaining confidence in changeup
NEW YORK - Joe Ross pitched fairly well, but Jacob deGrom was better, shutting down the potent Nats offense in a 5-1 series finale Mets victory. deGrom went eight innings, allowing only one unearned run in the first at-bat, scattering three singles with two walks and six strikeouts. The Nationals mustered only four hits against Mets pitching on Sunday. Daniel Murphy's double in the ninth was their lone extra base knock. He now has reached base safely in all 29 games against his former...

Baker preaches close-knit club when fighting for title: "I demand it"

Baker preaches close-knit club when fighting for title: "I demand it"
NEW YORK - Baseball is a sport primarily focused on the individual matchups: a pitcher facing a batter, a batter trying to get a hit against a pitcher. It's not 11-on-11 like football, or even five against five like in basketball. But similar to football, units of the team must play well for the entire team to succeed. If you have a football team and the offense and defense are good, but the special teams continue to fumble when receiving punts, then it is not a complete team that will win...

Ross and deGrom trade runs early (Mets win 5-1)
NEW YORK - We're seeing some outstanding pitching to begin the series finale at Citi Field. The Nationals scored in the first inning versus Mets starter Jacob deGrom. With one out, second baseman Wilmer Flores made a fielding error that allowed Brian Goodwin to reach base safely. Bryce Harper singled to the opposite field. A passed ball by Travis d'Arnaud allowed the runners to move up. Ryan Zimmerman's sacrifice fly to right field scored Goodwin. The Nats led 1-0. Right-hander Joe Ross did...

Game 69 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals turn to right-hander Joe Ross as they look for the four-game sweep of division-rival New York Mets. Ross has been the beneficiary of 85 runs in his eight starts this season. He has enjoyed an average of 11.34 runs of support per game. The Mets go to right-hander Jacob deGrom to salvage the final game of the series. He is 5-3 with a 4.33 ERA. Right-hander A.J. Cole is available after right-hander Shawn Kelley was put on the disabled list with a right trapezius...

Kelley to disabled list again, Cole called up from Syracuse
NEW YORK - The Nationals have recalled right-hander A.J. Cole and placed right-hander Shawn Kelley on the 10-day disabled list with a right trapezius strain. The move is retroactive to June 17. Kelley pitched in Friday's game, but his fastball velocity was way down to 88 mph and manager Dusty Baker said Kelley felt "tightness" in his neck. He said Saturday that Kelley was unlikely to pitch in that day's game. Now the club has returned Kelley to the disabled list for the second time this...

Lobaton and Romero heroes in Nats' 7-4 win over Mets
NEW YORK - Jose Lobaton broke out a recent slump and the bullpen helped out Stephen Strasburg this time around in a 7-4 series-clinching victory before 38,059 at Citi Field on Saturday. Strasburg was only able to finish 5 1/3 innings, but he kept the Mets at bay, allowing only two runs. Then, the bullpen was able to take over. The much maligned bullpen surrendered only two runs over 4 2/3 innings to keep the Nationals in front. Manager Dusty Baker was proud of his releivers, who have struggled...

Trea Turner on bunting: "Get in there and battle"
NEW YORK - In the top of the seventh Friday night at Citi Field, Trea Turner grounded out softly to pitcher Steven Matz, who threw to first base to record the second out of the inning. Earlier in the at-bat, Turner attempted to bunt until the count got to two strikes. It was a rare play that had Turner bunting. The Nationals usually use power to score runs (106 homers and counting as of Saturday afternoon). They are a club that doesn't rely on small ball as much as other teams might need...

Nats ride home runs again for early lead (Nats win 7-4)
NEW YORK - The Nationals' big bats do it again with an early strike. Trea Turner led off the game with a solo homer over the left field wall to stake the Nats to a 1-0 lead. It was his seventh longball and third leadoff homer of the season. The blast came on a 1-0 offering from Mets starter Seth Lugo, and was Turner's fifth leadoff homer of his career. In the second, Lugo struck out Adam Lind and Michael A. Taylor. But Jose Lobaton slammed a solo homer in the second level in right field,...

Kelley feeling tightness in neck, Baker details lineup strategy
NEW YORK - Nationals right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley pitched the ninth inning in Friday's 7-2 victory over the Mets, allowing a solo homer to Jay Bruce. He then managed to induce two outfield flyouts and a groundout to third base to end the game. But it certainly wasn't an easy three outs for the veteran. Last year, Kelley was hitting around 93-94 mph on his fastball. Last night, the velocity was dropping to 88-90 mph and touching 91. His slider was around 78-80 mph. Manager Dusty Baker...
