Young outfield making tough catches look commonplace

Young outfield making tough catches look commonplace
The outfield defense was on display again for the Nationals in their 7-0 shutout of the Braves on Sunday at Nats Park. Juan Soto made nice catch in the corner, and Victor Robles a few incredible stops in deep center field, including a few against the dreaded sun monster. Soto had to grab a line drive to begin the game off of Ronald Acuña Jr.'s bat. Robles had a few versus Matt Joyce, Josh Donaldson and then Freddie Freeman in the ninth inning. Adam Eaton caught one for an out off the bat of...

Sánchez impressive again in a big game as Nats shut out Braves 7-0

Sánchez impressive again in a big game as Nats shut out Braves 7-0
Aníbal Sánchez put together another solid performance in lifting the Nationals to a 7-0 win over the Braves. The veteran right-hander twirled seven scoreless innings, scattering three hits with one walk and three strikeouts. For one of the rare times in their matchups these past two weeks, the Braves never had a shot at gaining an early advantage, and that was because of Sánchez. "It's good," Sánchez said. "Always a lead is good. It always good to go back to the dugout with the...

Adams has AC sprain, Suzuki to take swings in St. Louis (Nats win 7-0)
First baseman Matt Adams has missed two games after tweaking his left shoulder/triceps region Thursday night in Minnesota. But manager Davey Martinez's update Sunday revealed a more serious injury. "Matt Adams has an AC sprain," Martinez said. "So, he's going to be day-to-day. I talked to him yesterday. He's just a bit sore. He's getting some medication. So hopefully in the next few days we'll see where he's at." Adams has been a crucial power bat off the bench and filled in for long...

Game 148 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Game 148 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
After two losses to begin the series, the Nationals again find themselves facing a Sunday finale seeking a salvage against the Braves. Last weekend in Atlanta, the Nats came through with a win on Sunday after losing three in a row. This time around they look to former Braves starter Aníbal Sánchez (8-8, 4.04 ERA) to stop the sweep. Sánchez has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Braves put up southpaw Max Fried (16-5, 4.02), who defeated the Nats 4-2...

Nats' reaction to Culberson being hit in face by pitch

Nats' reaction to Culberson being hit in face by pitch
Pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson squared to bunt in the top of the seventh inning of the Braves' 10-1 win over the Nationals on Saturday. But a Fernando Rodney fastball hit him in the face near his right eye. Culberson collapsed at the plate and was down for several minutes. He was then assisted to a cart by medical personnel and driven off the field to the hospital. As he was carted off, he gave the crowd a thumbs-up gesture. Rodney ended up facing nine more batters and had difficulty recording...

Voth off to good start, Rendon delivers big hit (Nats lose 10-1)
The Nationals took the early lead on Saturday afternoon against National League East rival Atlanta. Trea Turner walked to lead off the first against right-hander Mike Foltynewicz. Anthony Rendon then delivered an RBI double off the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field to score Turner. Victor Robles singled with one out in the second. But with Raudy Read at the plate, Robles was caught stealing at second base. Read then singled to center field, but Austin Voth flew out to right field to...

With Suzuki out, Gomes fine with everyday catching duties

With Suzuki out, Gomes fine with everyday catching duties
Nationals catcher Yan Gomes started his seventh straight game Friday night in a 5-0 loss to the Braves. His teammate, Kurt Suzuki, has been out with an elbow injury for more than a week now. Manager Davey Martinez said Suzuki could start throwing a baseball by the end of the weekend. The skipper appears to be leaning toward giving Raudy Read the start against the Braves on Saturday afternoon. Martinez said he likes the matchup of Read against Mike Foltynewicz. Plus, Read has experience catching...

Soroka turns tables on Scherzer, Braves cruise to 5-0 win

Soroka turns tables on Scherzer, Braves cruise to 5-0 win
Last Sunday in Atlanta, Max Scherzer allowed the Braves only one run on two hits in six convincing innings of work. It was the only win for the Nationals in the four-game set against the Braves, serving as reassurance that when the Nats desperately need a win against a very good team, he would deliver. That will likely be the challenge the Nats face if they get to the National League wild card game Oct. 1. But in the second matchup with Atlanta in five days, the Braves liked what they saw from...

Updates on Suzuki, Gomes, Elías and Adams (Nats fall 5-0)
Nationals manager Davey Martinez had a spring in his step as he met reporters in the home dugout following the annual team picture before tonight's first game against the Braves with: "How's everybody doing!?" He had an upbeat attitude, as he usually does, for good reason. His club won two of three in Minnesota, their first series victory against a team with a winning record since sweeping the Cubs on Aug. 25. "It made it a lot better the fact that we won the game and we played the game,"...

Barrera living "every kids' dream" as he joins Nats

Barrera living "every kids' dream" as he joins Nats
Catcher Tres Barrera joined the Nationals this past week after the elbow injury to Kurt Suzuki. Barrera, the former University of Texas standout, was born in Eagle Pass, Texas, which is less than one mile from the United States/Mexico border along the Rio Grande. The 24-year-old is a 2016 draft selection for the Nationals and played 101 games for Double-A Harrisburg this season. He was pleasantly surprised to get the call to join the Nats. "I couldn't believe it," Barrera said. "It's every...

Scherzer and Gomes get Nationals back to normal
With catcher Kurt Suzuki on the shelf with a sore elbow, Yan Gomes was pressed into duty on short notice Sunday and delivered. Gomes put together the kind of game the Nationals expected from him when they acquired him from the Indians in November. The veteran from Brazil went out and guided Max Scherzer to a win. He also belted two homers in a game for the first time since September 2017 as the Nats finally defeated the Braves 9-4, salvaging the final game of a four-game series. "It's just...

Suzuki was removed from the game and replaced by Raudy Read. Suzuki underwent an MRI, but results have not been released. "I just felt something in my elbow," Suzuki said.

Game 142 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals had high hopes when they arrived in Georgia on Wednesday night, hoping to win at least three of four against the Braves and put some heat on the top spot in the National League East with a couple of dozen games left on the schedule. Three days and three losses later, the Nats turn to ace Max Scherzer to prevent a series sweep. Scherzer certainly is very familiar with the Braves hitters. This will be his 21st start against Atlanta, and he sports a career 9-7 mark with a...

After four years away, Barrett emotional in successful return

After four years away, Barrett emotional in successful return
ATLANTA - Close to 1,500 days since his last appearance in the major leagues, Aaron Barrett had many a time to dream about returning to the mound in another regular season game. Aug. 5, 2015 to Sept. 7, 2019. Rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and then a brutal broken arm, Barrett went through so much to get back. Then on a warm night, six minutes from his offseason home, wearing the jersey of the Nationals again and with his whole family and many of his friends in attendance cheering him on,...

Barrett's triumphant return not enough as Nats fall again 5-4
ATLANTA - Even the amazing return of Aaron Barrett, solid pitching on short notice from Austin Voth and a clutch hit from Juan Soto would not be enough to overcome an Atlanta Braves team that is on a significant hot streak. The Braves mustered four homers on the night and rode their starter, Julio Teheran, to a 5-4 win, building their lead in the National League East to double digits. Atlanta has won nine in a row overall and nine of their last 12 games against the Nats. Atlanta's starters...

ATLANTA - The Nationals turn to Austin Voth to help get them on the board in their crucial four-game series against the Braves. The right-hander will be making his fifth start of the season tonight at SunTrust Park, and first since July 16. In that win over the Orioles, Voth allowed one run on four hits over six innings. Voth had looked at video prior to that start in attempt to get better command and velocity on his fastball glove side. It worked. "I (couldn't) throw away to righties and in...
