Zimmerman's feet feel good, in nice groove at plate
ATLANTA - Ryan Zimmerman continues to crush baseballs since his return from a second bout of plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

It was Zimmerman's fifth homer of the season and second in the past five days. "I feel great," he said. "I think the body feels really good, I feel like I'm moving around pretty well. My first few at-bats, like I said,...

Elías' MRI set for Saturday, Voth in for Ross to start Game 3 (Nats fall 4-3)
ATLANTA - Nationals reliever Roenis Elías is dealing with a right hamstring injury suffered late in Friday night's opening 4-2 loss against the Braves. Manager Davey Martinez said they will wait on the MRI until Saturday to check on Eliías' hamstring. "He feels OK. He's really sore," Martinez said. "We haven't gotten an MRI yet because until the swelling goes down it's really going to reveal really nothing. Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow we'll get an MRI." "I felt a...

Game 140 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals turn to their left-handed starter Patrick Corbin tonight as they look to get back in the four-game series against the Braves. Atlanta rode the pitching of their southpaw Max Fried on Friday night to a 4-2 opening win. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg lasted six innings last night, surrendering only three runs for his 19th quality start in 29 games this season. Corbin is the only Nationals starter with more quality starts (21). Nationals manager Davey Martinez said...

Robles on latest clutch homer, Soto frustrated with strikeouts

Robles on latest clutch homer, Soto frustrated with strikeouts
ATLANTA - The story in game one was left-hander Max Fried as the Braves defeated the Nationals 4-2. The 25-year-old left-hander, who attended the same high school as former Nats starter Lucas Giolito, tossed seven shutout innings against the Nats, striking out nine. But once the Nats got past the Harvard-Westlake, Ca., graduate and into the Braves bullpen, they finally put together another familiar comeback, scoring two and bringing the tying run to the plate with two outs in their last at-bat....

Fried too good and late rally falls short in 4-2 loss to Braves
ATLANTA - The Braves scored early on versus Stephen Strasburg. And with Max Fried putting together one of the best starts of his career, Atlanta held off the Nationals for a 4-2 win Thursday night. Fried was next to brilliant, firing seven shutout innings, striking out nine and allowing one infield single for his 16th win. "He was really good, he threw all his pitches for strikes, kept us off balance most of the night," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "When you see Juan (Soto) have...

Braves notch early rally against Strasburg (Nats fall 4-2)
ATLANTA - The Braves took advantage of some well-placed base hits and timely base running in the first off right-hander Stephen Strasburg. Ronald Acuña Jr. singled on a line drive to left field. The speedster moved to second base on a steal. Ozzie Albies then dropped in a perfectly placed bloop double into shallow left field to score Acuña with the first run of the game. Freddie Freeman singled to left field to score Albies and suddenly it was 2-0 Braves. Left-hander Max Fried's...

Martinez on big series, Eaton, Elías, Doolittle and more
ATLANTA - The Nationals have looked forward to this series for a while now, even if they would not admit it out loud. The four-game series against the first-place Braves is upon them. But Nationals manager Davey Martinez said his team is repeating the mantra that it cannot get ahead of itself even with only 23 games remaining. "Trea (Turner) talked about it yesterday - just control today, win today," Martinez said. "Go 1-0 today and go from there." But with the National League East deficit...

Game 139 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals certainly did not help their chances of catching the Braves on Wednesday in an 8-4 loss to the Mets. Atlanta was idle, so the Nats fell a full seven games back of the Braves for the top spot in the National League East standings. The Braves and Nats match up seven times in the next 10 days beginning with four games starting tonight here at SunTrust Park. The season series is all even at 6-6. The Braves have won six in a row. The Nats lead the NL wild card by three games...

Nationals rewrite record books with 11-10 comeback winner

Nationals rewrite record books with 11-10 comeback winner
A lot of records were set when the Nationals scored seven runs in the bottom of the ninth Tuesday night. The 11-10 win over the Mets was the largest come from behind win in the bottom of the ninth in Nationals history (2005-present). Kurt Suzuki hit a three-run shot to win it, his third walk-off winner of his career, and first since Aug. 15, 2018, against the White Sox. Ryan Zimmerman was a major part of the rally. He hit a bases loaded double to right-center field to score two runs to cut the...

Despite rough fourth inning, Scherzer likes "step forward"
Even though Max Scherzer allowed four runs in the fourth inning against the Mets on Tuesday night, he was able to finish off six innings. The right-hander left trailing 4-2, but the Nationals later made a dramatic comeback to win 11-10. Despite allowing four runs on five hits, Scherzer said the 90-pitch performance was a still a positive third start since his most recent return from the injured list. "It was definitely a step forward," Scherzer said. "I felt like I was able to start bringing...

Ross could not execute slider and sinker in 7-3 loss to Mets

Eaton leaves game in second inning, MRI scheduled
Nationals right fielder Adam Eaton got hit by a pitch from Orioles starter Asher Wojciechowski last Wednesday and had to leave the game.

Martinez hints at possible return for Taylor (Nats fall 7-3)
With the influx of talent and depth added yesterday for the September stretch drive, Nationals manager Davey Martinez continues to work on how he wants the roster to work down the stretch to maximize the club's ability to get into the post season in a good spot. It is important to give regular players some rest, but not at the expense of the quality of play on the field. "We talked yesterday at length about bringing a couple more guys up," Martinez said. "The season is still going down...

The 34-year-old Venters has gone through several Tommy John surgeries in his career and now faces another rehab, this time on his shoulder. He will wait until later in rehab to see if he will return to baseball or retire. "We will see how it defines itself," Venters said. "If it's good, I'll keep going. If it's not, then there's...

One-two punch of Rendon, Soto too much for Marlins to handle

One-two punch of Rendon, Soto too much for Marlins to handle
The Nationals offense was again anchored by the one-two punch of Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto in a 7-0 shutout of the Marlins Saturday night. And it all happened in a matter of three pitches in the first inning. On the ninth pitch of Rendon's at-bat against Marlins starter Pablo López, the third baseman cranked a two-run shot to left field on a 3-2 fastball to give the Nats the lead. Then on an 0-1 changeup, Soto followed suit with another homer to left field. Suddenly, it was 3-0 Nats. The...

Strasburg powers past Marlins again in Nats' 7-0 win

Strasburg powers past Marlins again in Nats' 7-0 win
The Marlins are hoping they don't have to see Stephen Strasburg again this season. Strasburg has now won 12 games in a row against Miami after a convincing 7-0 shutout Saturday night. He allowed two hits in eight scoreless innings, striking out a season-high 14 batters. Miami managed a pair of singles in their first three at-bats from Harold Ramirez and Starlin Castro. But Strasburg had a hand in an inning ending 1-6-3 double play to end that first frame. That turned out to be the Marlins'...

Doolittle threw 13 pitches in a rehab appearance Friday night in Frederick, Md., with the high Single-A Potomac Nationals. He faced three batters and did not allow a hit, a run or a walk, inducing a groundout and two flyouts. "Sean was good," Martinez said. "He was pleased and we were pleased. He's going to work out...
