Revere scores early run to give Nats head start (Nats win 8-2)

Revere scores early run to give Nats head start (Nats win 8-2)
MIAMI - The Nationals did a nice job of manufacturing a run in the first inning to go up on the Marlins in the series finale. Ben Revere singled to lead off the first inning for the second game in a row. He stole second for his first stolen base of the season. Jayson Werth grounded out to second to move Revere to third. Bryce Harper then lofted a ball to shallow center field. Marcell Ozuna's throw home was way over the head of catcher Jeff Mathis. Revere slid home safely and the Nationals...

19-year-old Robles has "come along really well" in first season with Hagerstown
MIAMI - Low Single-A Hagerstown centerfielder Victor Robles continues to build games and gain experience as he finishes up his second month of the season with the Suns. The 19-year-old Dominican displayed athleticism and high baseball IQ at early camp and has continued to progress in pro ball. In 38 games this season, Robles is slashing .343/.429/.529 with five doubles, three triples, five homers and 21 RBIs. He has tallied 33 runs, 12 stolen bases, 10 walks and has struck out only 20 times in...

Game 44 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 44 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker spoke Friday prior to Game 1 about how important it was to try to win the series after splitting 10 games against the Fish to begin the season. Baker said winning games in the division is critical against the Marlins as they do not face them again until late September after today's contest. The two teams continue to trade blows and play even baseball following the Marlins' 3-2 win Saturday night. Today will finally put one team ahead of the other in the season...

Ross on tough loss: "I thought I pitched pretty well"

Ross on tough loss: "I thought I pitched pretty well"
MIAMI - Nationals right-hander Joe Ross deserved better on his 23rd birthday. And despite falling 3-2 to the Marlins, he really stood toe-to-toe with Marlins ace Jose Fernandez for most of the game. Manager Dusty Baker had said in pregame the one way they could stay in the game against Fernandez is if Ross could hang with him. He pretty much did. "His total outing was outstanding," Baker said. "He was matching, other than the strikeouts. Every time Fernandez got a 3-2 count it was either out...

Feverish ninth-inning rally falls just short in Nats' loss to Marlins

Feverish ninth-inning rally falls just short in Nats' loss to Marlins
MIAMI - Pretty much everything went right for the Nationals as they attempted a spectacular comeback in the ninth inning - until it all went wrong with one quick swing. Down 3-1 in the top of the ninth and facing Marlins closer A.J. Ramos, the Nationals put men on first and third thanks to singles by Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy. A Wilson Ramos pinch-hit single scored Harper and suddenly the Nationals had cut the Marlins' advantage to 3-2. Anthony Rendon worked A.J. Ramos for a walk to load...

Ross and Fernandez in pitchers' duel (Marlins win 3-2)

Ross and Fernandez in pitchers' duel (Marlins win 3-2)
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker said during his pregame media session that the best way to have a shot at beating a really good pitcher is to pitch well yourself. Right-hander Joe Ross has certainly done that. Although Ichiro Suzuki worked him for nine pitches and a single to lead off the game, it didn't faze Ross. He went on to finish that inning and then had a 1-2-3 second. As expected, that "really good pitcher," right-hander Jose Fernandez, who has surrendered only two runs in 13 innings...

Baker on lineup and when to rest regulars, plus Belisle update
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker had already decided to rest Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman for tonight's game against the Marlins because he knew he wouldn't have much chance to rest them during the upcoming homestand. "I had it planned in advance because the amount of games that we're going to be playing, the late get-in," Baker said. "Everything contributed to this (lineup). I always believe you take your shot all at once. A lot of times, your shock troops actually sometimes come out...

Game 43 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Yelich scratched)

Game 43 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Yelich scratched)
MIAMI - It seems to be a birthday weekend so far in South Florida. Friday was Jayson Werth's 37th birthday. He collected two hits en route to a 4-1 Nationals win over the Marlins. Today is right-hander Joe Ross' 23rd birthday. He starts for the first time in majors on his birthday as the Nationals look for their first series win against the Marlins this season. Incidentally, the next Nationals player with a birthday in season is third baseman Anthony Rendon on June 6. Ross is 3-3 with a 2.63...

Zimmerman and Werth continue uptick at plate
MIAMI - This may be the time of year when things turn the right way for slugger Ryan Zimmerman. On Friday night, he made another statement that his power swing may be coming back. Zimmerman's loud solo shot over the left-center field wall opened the scoring for the Nationals as they went on to down the Marlins 4-1. "It's one good swing," he said. "But I've been feeling good the last three or four games, I've hit some balls hard. Not getting stuff for it, but in New York I thought I had...

Roark worked on not tipping pitches in 4-1 win vs. Marlins

Roark worked on not tipping pitches in 4-1 win vs. Marlins
MIAMI - Right-hander Tanner Roark was 0-3 with an 8.40 ERA in three starts against the Marlins this season. His worst start of the season came just six days ago in D.C., when he allowed seven runs on eight hits in five innings against these same Marlins. But Friday in Miami was just the opposite. Inducing weak contact and holding the Marlins to just one run, Roark turned Miami into every other opponent he has faced this season, delivering 6 2/3 strong innings in a 4-1 win at Marlins Park. It...

Zimmerman and Taylor homer early, Roark solid (Nats win 4-1)
MIAMI - The Nationals offense picked up where it left off in New York with hard contact versus Marlins left-hander Justin Nicolino in the early going. Michael A. Taylor lined out to a diving Christian Yelich to open the game. Jason Werth then followed with a lined single to left. Although the Nationals didn't score in the inning, they were seeing the southpaw very well. In the second, they unloaded on the Marlins. Ryan Zimmerman led off with a solo homer, his fifth of the season, and the...

Baker believes cold April was tough on Rendon

Baker believes cold April was tough on Rendon
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker has placed third baseman Anthony Rendon in the No. 6 spot in the batting order again for the fourth consecutive game. Rendon raked for five hits in his last two games, but his recent bounceback at the plate actually started last week. In April, Rendon hit .242 with only four doubles and just one RBI. He had no triples and no homers in that first month. Since May 10, Rendon has hit .406 (13-for-32) with three doubles, five RBIs, five walks and two stolen bases. Baker...

Baker on Roark vs. Fish: "Too early to start running from people"
MIAMI - Manager Dusty Baker explained why he decided to give Ben Revere the day off and start Fort Lauderdale native Michael A. Taylor in the leadoff spot. "No Ben Revere because I like to play guy's at home, Michael A. Taylor's from here," Baker said. "And also we got a left-hander and also Ben's been playing every day since he got back." Baker said the Nationals' charter also arrived very early in the morning from New York after Wednesday night's 9-1 win. Baker said that the Revere...

Game 42 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Welcome to the Sunshine State, or as I like to call it, especially this weekend, the Mostly Sunshine But Guaranteed Popup Rain Shower in Afternoon Each Day State. I know, that just wouldn't fit on the license plate. Rain is expected each day the Nationals are in town, but that is a moot point with each game indoors at Marlins Park. Fresh off an impressive series win against the defending National League champion New York Mets, the Nationals stay on the road and within the division in...

Goodwin raking to start season for Triple-A Syracuse

Goodwin raking to start season for Triple-A Syracuse
There's been a lot of publicity about shortstop sensation Trea Turner, who has been very good again this season for Triple-A Syracuse, hitting .322. Nationals director of player development Mark Scialabba has been impressed with Turner's athleticism and how well he has played at this level. But also making noise is Brian Goodwin, a compensation round pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. The center fielder is enjoying a nice start to the season. It certainly a positive sign to see...

Kelley on bullpen crew: "We're out there kind of as our own team"

Kelley on bullpen crew: "We're out there kind of as our own team"
I had a chance to speak with right-hander Shawn Kelley last weekend and asked him how the new coaching staff handled the bullpen. I asked him about the frequency of which he has to get up to warm up during games and if that can be problematic in tiring him out before he is finally put into games. He said that is the norm among relief pitchers and comes with the job. "The getting up and not getting in, that happens anywhere," Kelley said. "That's just part of the game. That's just part of...

Are Rendon's 2015 injuries slowing progress this season?

Are Rendon's 2015 injuries slowing progress this season?
The Nationals offense has not had a moment yet where more than a handful of players were hitting at the same time. Bryce Harper started off well. Wilson Ramos is surging now. Daniel Murphy has been consistent throughout. But other key pieces like Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman haven't gotten into a groove yet at the plate. They have certainly had their moments, just not the day-to-day consistency up and down the lineup the team will need to really get rolling in the National League East. And...

Fernandez gets stronger as game rolls along in 5-1 defeat of Nats
Miami right-hander Jose Fernandez tossed a career-high 117 pitches, and finished up with relative ease, as the Marlins defeated the Nationals 5-1 to split the four-game set. Fernandez struck out 10 of the last 12 batters he faced, striking out 11 batters overall. He pitched seven innings, allowing only four hits, one run (earned) and three walks. "I think that's been the whole season," Fernandez said on his surge to end the outing. "The whole season, as the game progresses, I've been...

Fernandez too much for the Nationals in 5-1 loss
Jose Fernandez beat the Nationals with his arm and his bat Sunday. Fernandez threw seven innings, allowing only one run, and provided a huge two-run single with the bases loaded that put the game out of reach. The Marlins won 5-1, splitting the four-game set. Fernandez got some early assistance from the Nationals defense. With two outs and two men on in the third inning, Martin Prado's infield pop-up was dropped by Stephen Drew as he battled the bright sunshine, allowing both runs to score and...

Taylor patient at the plate as he returns to reserve role
Michael A. Taylor got the start in the leadoff spot in Saturday's first game of a day/night doubleheader as the Nationals downed the Marlins 6-4. Taylor had struggled at times in the leadoff spot prior to Ben Revere's return to the lineup last weekend. But on Saturday, Taylor once again displayed what he can do on offense and defense, going 2-for-3 with a double and two walks. He stole two bases and made an outstanding catch of a fly ball off the bat of the Marlins catcher Jeff Mathis that...
