Scherzer "felt good" in latest bullpen session (Nats fall 4-3)

Scherzer "felt good" in latest bullpen session (Nats fall 4-3)
NEW YORK - Wearing his full road gray Nationals uniform, right-hander Max Scherzer went through a full bullpen session Saturday afternoon as he recovers from a mild rhomboid strain that has had him out of the rotation since July 26. "Good, got off the mound, progressing to where I want to be," Scherzer said of the session. "Turned the corner a few days ago, started playing catch, getting through the ball again. This is the next step to getting on the mound, made sure to throw a bullpen,...

Game 116 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 116 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals need to find a way to bounce back quickly from Friday's difficult loss and get back in their series with the scorching Mets. Washington led 6-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth. But the Mets exploded for six hits against Nats closer Sean Doolittle, including a three-run homer by Todd Frazier to tie the game and a walk-off single to right field by Michael Conforto to pull off the 7-6 comeback. The Mets have won seven games in a row. But the Nats skipper was ready to...

Strasburg on setting franchise strikeout record: "a blessing"

Strasburg on setting franchise strikeout record: "a blessing"
NEW YORK - Lost a bit in the 7-6 setback against the Mets was the pitching turned in by Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg. The right-hander recorded a quality start, twirling seven innings, allowing a couple of home runs, but only four total hits, with two walks and six strikeouts. It was a nice bounceback from the nightmare of Aug. 3, when he surrendered nine runs in just 4 2/3 innings in the 18-7 loss at Arizona. His only real blemishes came when he allowed back-to-back homers in the fourth...

Mets shock Nats with four runs in ninth off a stunned Doolittle

Mets shock Nats with four runs in ninth off a stunned Doolittle
NEW YORK - The game was set up for closer Sean Doolittle to do what he has done 25 times already this season for the Washington Nationals. With a 6-3 lead over the red-hot New York Mets in the bottom of the ninth, all Doolittle had to do was record three outs and the Nats would come away with another important divisional win. But the Mets pummeled Doolittle's fastball to the tune of four consecutive hits, highlighted by Todd Frazier's three-run game-tying homer down the left field line that...

Strasburg sets all-time franchise strikeout record (Nats fall 7-6)

Strasburg sets all-time franchise strikeout record (Nats fall 7-6)
NEW YORK - April 7 was the last time the Nationals beat the Mets here at Citi Field. May 20-23, the Nats lost all four games. In that series, the Mets never scored more than six runs in a game. After that series, the Nats were 19-31. Nationals manager Davey Martinez said he made sure to keep his players upbeat during those trying times. The Nats have rebounded to win 42 games since that sweep. "Even when things were going bad I seem to always have fun," Martinez said. "I got to keep the boys...

Scherzer could throw 'pen session Saturday; Rendon's toe "is fine"
NEW YORK - Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Max Scherzer did not have his bullpen session today but hopes the right-hander will be able to conduct the session Saturday. Martinez said Scherzer instead went through a measured workout prior to tonight's series opener against the Mets. "He's progressing," Martinez said. "He threw again today, light, but if he feels up to it tomorrow, he might throw a bullpen. We'll see how he feels tomorrow." There had been a preliminary plan to have...

Update on three southpaws at Potomac: Cate, Raquet and Teel

Update on three southpaws at Potomac: Cate, Raquet and Teel
Here are some updates on a few pitchers working for the high Single-A Potomac Nationals. One of those previewed - Kyle Johnston, the Nats' No. 21-rated prospect - was sent to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson last week. P-Nats manager Tripp Keister gave updates on three other pitchers, all southpaws: Tim Cate, Nick Raquet and Carson Teel. Cate is the left-handed starter taken in the second round of the First-Year Player Draft in 2018. He has gone 4-3 with a 3.64 ERA...

Stevenson feeling more comfortable at the plate this season

Stevenson feeling more comfortable at the plate this season
Even though Andrew Stevenson's recent stay with the Nationals was short lived this time, the way the young outfielder has been playing has drawn high praise. It is inevitable he will return to the bigs soon. The club announced this week he has been moved from Triple-A Fresno to Double-A Harrisburg, presumably to be closer to the Nats so they can call him up quickly and Stevenson would only have a short drive to get to Nats Park. Stevenson has slashed .327/.377/.492 with 17 doubles, eight...

Sánchez's new strategy against Braves backfires

Sánchez's new strategy against Braves backfires
Aníbal Sánchez delivered a 1-2-3 first inning, striking out Ronald Acuña Jr. to begin the game. Then he retired the dangerous Ozzie Albies and Freddie Freeman on fly balls to center field. But the next two innings the Braves put together consecutive base hits starting with Adam Duvall's solo homer in the second. Acuña and Albies dropped in back-to-back doubles to score another run in the third inning. In the fourth inning, Johan Camargo, Mike Soroka and Acuña smacked...

Doolittle blames pitch execution for late homer, Nats fall in extras

Doolittle blames pitch execution for late homer, Nats fall in extras
Nationals closer Sean Doolittle has allowed two solo homers in his last two appearances. The homer given up to the Braves pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson on Friday night didn't hurt as much because the Nats were up by four runs and won the game 6-3. But the margin for error was much different Wednesday afternoon. With the game tied at 4-4 in the top of the 10th inning, Doolittle (6-3) surrendered a no-doubt solo homer over the center field wall to Braves slugger Josh Donaldson. Donaldson's...

Adams can pinch-hit, Zimmerman swings in cage (Nats fall 5-4 in 10)

Adams can pinch-hit, Zimmerman swings in cage (Nats fall 5-4 in 10)
Nationals manager Davey Martinez said injured right-hander Jeremy Hellickson is in West Palm Beach, Fla., conducting sim games this week as he recovers a right shoulder strain. He's been on the shelf for 61 games. "He's down in spring training (facility)," Martinez said. "Today was his day (for sim game). Today I think he threw a sim game. Then he's scheduled to throw another one possibly this weekend." Martinez believes there is a possibility that Hellickson's next step would be minor...

Teheran (6-7) finished 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits with two walks and six strikeouts for the win. He fired 104 pitches, 72 for strikes.

Martinez plays to bullpen's strength for game-clinching hold
Prior to tomorrow's trade deadline, Nationals manager Davey Martinez's vision of how to hold a late lead is a seventh, eighth and ninth inning that falls to Wander Suero, Fernando Rodney and Sean Doolittle. To begin a very important series against the Atlanta Braves, Martinez had the strengths of his 'pen well rested. Rodney and Doolittle both had not pitched for four days. Doolittle had been off since last week's doubleheader Wednesday against the Rockies. So in a game in which the...

Corbin's slider on target again versus Braves

Corbin's slider on target again versus Braves
Patrick Corbin had his slider on target again Monday night, and when it mattered most against a very good opponent, he delivered big time strikeouts. The Nationals southpaw struck out eight batters and allowed only five hits and two runs over six innings, derailing what could have been a huge fourth frame in dropping the first-place Atlanta Braves 6-3. "I felt really good," Corbin said. "I thought we mixed up well to a very good-hitting team, minimized mistakes. I thought we stayed out of...

"He's good. It's a contusion. He's getting treated right now. Hoping that he's available to pinch-hit today for the game." With Max Scherzer being placed on the injured list, Martinez confirmed...
