Rosenthal heads to Florida to try to figure out control issues

Rosenthal heads to Florida to try to figure out control issues
Nationals reliever Trevor Rosenthal is heading to extended spring training in West Palm Beach, Fla., to begin a throwing program as he looks to recover from a viral infection that placed him on the 10-day injured list. "We just want to get him healthy, get him ready, get him back," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "We laid out a plan for him to go down there. He's going to start a throwing program and get him built up and get him back hopefully as soon as possible." Rosenthal was at...

Grace believes slight adjustment in delivery has led to recent groove

Grace believes slight adjustment in delivery has led to recent groove
Left-hander Matt Grace has been the go-to middle-relief choice by manager Davey Martinez. Grace had some outings that didn't go as well as he would have liked to begin the season, but now is on a streak of no runs allowed in six of his last seven appearances, including three in a row. The only thing about the appearances he would change is the four walks allowed. Grace said he made a couple of tweaks to his delivery that seemed to have helped. He has whittled his ERA down from 20.25 to...

In desperate moment, Martinez turns to Ross for solution

In desperate moment, Martinez turns to Ross for solution
There was not an eighth-inning implosion from the Nationals bullpen Saturday. Sure, there was a walk to start the frame. That's an issue the bullpen has had this season - allowing a baserunner early in an appearance. But something unique happened after that. Right-hander Joe Ross allowed a single to the Padres rookie sensation Fernando Tatis Jr., then struck out the No. 2 hitter Wil Myers with a dramatic full-count swing-and-miss on an 89 mph diving slider. During the at-bat, Ross peppered...

Padres break open close game with six-run 10th as Nats fall 8-3

Padres break open close game with six-run 10th as Nats fall 8-3
The Nationals battled back to force extra innings against the Padres on Saturday. But then it all unraveled in the 10th inning as the Nats' beleaguered bullpen was again unable to string together quick outs and San Diego rolled up six runs to turn the game inside out. The Padres downed the Nationals 8-3 in 10 innings to win the series. The Nats are a now season-low three games under .500 at 11-14 and have lost three in a row and six of their last eight. In the 10th, the Nats employed three...

Renfroe does it again, but Soto answers back (Nats fall 8-3 in 10)

Renfroe does it again, but Soto answers back (Nats fall 8-3 in 10)
The Padres put big hitter Hunter Renfroe in the starting lineup Saturday afternoon against the Nationals. Renfroe, playing left field today, reached out and made solid contact on a Sean Doolittle changeup last night to propel San Diego to a 4-3 win in the series opener. In the second inning Saturday against Nats right-hander Stephen Strasburg, Renfroe crushed a 1-2 changeup over the left field wall. The two-run shot was his sixth on the season. Strasburg has four strikeouts through three...

Rendon's elbow still "a little sore," bullpen ready for long run

Rendon's elbow still "a little sore," bullpen ready for long run
Nationals manager Davey Martinez elected to give veteran Howie Kendrick the start in today's second game of three against the Padres. Anthony Rendon was hit by a pitch in his elbow last weekend in Miami and then last night got hit in his left quad with another pitch, so the third baseman is not in the starting lineup. "Yeah, I talked to him after the game," Martinez said. "He was a little sore. So, I like to have him available to pinch-hit late in the game." Martinez confirmed it was...

Game 25 lineups: Nats vs. Padres (updated, Rendon rest day)
The Nationals look to get back in their series with the Padres on Saturday as they send San Diego native Stephen Strasburg to the hill to slow a skid of five losses in their last seven games. Strasburg did quite well Sunday in Miami, pitching eight shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out 11 in a 5-0 Nats win over the Marlins. Strasburg is 2-1 with a 4.11 ERA. His last start at Nats Park against the Padres was May 27, 2017, when he tossed seven innings and struck out a career-high 15...

Carter Kieboom delivers home run in first major league game

Carter Kieboom delivers home run in first major league game
Carter Kieboom made his debut with the Nationals a night to remember. He kept the Nationals in the game with a dramatic home run. In the ninth, he came close to giving them the shot to win it. As he said before the game, three years ago he was in high school finishing an art project. Now he is in the big leagues, and delivering a big hit. Kieboom went 1-for-4 with a home run and two strikeouts. He held his own on defense at shortstop. The home run will be one to remember for a long time. With...

Scherzer surpasses 2,500 strikeouts in career (Nats fall 4-3)

Scherzer surpasses 2,500 strikeouts in career (Nats fall 4-3)
Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer and Padres left-hander Matt Strahm traded punches through the first three innings on a dark and gloomy Friday night in Washington, D.C. Scherzer appeared to have a better handle on his off-speed offerings this time around compared to Saturday night in Miami, striking out six and not allowing a hit through four innings. Scherzer was hovering around 97-98 mph with his fastball early on. Strahm gave up first-inning base hits to Adam Eaton and Yan Gomes, but...

Rosenthal to injured list, Miller returns
Prior the opening game of their series with the Padres, the Nationals placed right-hander Trevor Rosenthal on the 10-day injured list with a viral infection and reinstated right-hander Justin Miller from the IL. Rosenthal has had an extremely poor start to the season, throwing with good velocity but almost completely unable to find the strike zone on a consistent basis. He has allowed five runs in his last three innings over three appearances with five walks and two hit batters. His season ERA...

Harrisburg wins again, off to best start in franchise history

Harrisburg wins again, off to best start in franchise history
The amazing start to the 2019 season continued last night for Double-A Harrisburg in a 10-7 extra-inning win over Hartford. The Senators scored four runs in the eighth and four runs in the 11th to seal the victory. Harrisburg is a franchise-best 17-3 after 20 games, dating back to 1987. Chuck Taylor went 2-for-2 and drove in four runs after arriving as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. Starter Tyler Mapes allowed only one unearned run in five frames. Dan Jennings tossed 1 2/3 innings and allowed...

Robles gaining experience for next battle with outfield wall

Robles gaining experience for next battle with outfield wall
Nationals outfielder Victor Robles had a couple of plays that drove him into the center field wall on Saturday night at Marlins Park. In the sixth inning, on a sharp drive by Isaac Galloway, Robles collided with the wall and the ball bounced out of his glove for a double. One batter later, Robles made the catch on another screaming drive to deep center field off the bat of Curtis Granderson. But Robles crashed into the wall and went down in a daze. By the time he was able to gather himself, the...

Strasburg logs vintage performance as Nats shut out Marlins 5-0
MIAMI - Right-hander Stephen Strasburg lifted the Nationals past the Marlins 5-0 with a vintage performance, a much-needed salvage of the third game of their series at Marlins Park. Strasburg pitched a season-high eight shutout innings, striking out a season-high 11 batters. He now has 41 games in his career with 10 or more strikeouts. Plus, he added another page to the record books by reaching 1,260 1/3 innings pitched with the Nats, a new club record, passing left-hander Gio Gonzalez's...

MIAMI - Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas' groundout to short in the bottom of the second inning lifted Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg to 1,253 2/3 innings pitched, making him the all-time leader in innings pitched with the organization (2005-present). Left-hander Gio Gonzalez held the mark at 1,253 1/3 frames for his work from 2012-2018. Strasburg also now has 211 career starts, two away from Gonzalez's team lead of 213.

MIAMI - Third baseman Anthony Rendon has the day off with a sore left elbow after getting hit by a pitch and leaving the game Saturday against the Marlins. The elbow was still in a small wrap as he got off the team bus for Sunday's series finale at Marlins Park. "He's pretty stiff today," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "He's got a little swelling still in the elbow, so we don't want to push it. We just want him to get right. "I figured he was going to be stiff today. I even told...

Game 20 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Well, this certainly is not what the Nationals expected. Arriving Thursday night, the Nats were above .500 again after a series win at home against the Giants. As of today they have lost two in a row to the last-place Marlins and now look to veteran right-hander Stephen Strasburg (1-1, 5.56 ERA) to be the stopper and avoid the sweep. I wrote this morning about how Strasburg has used a matured mental approach to get better with each start. Strasburg needs two innings to become the...

Strasburg is five wins away from 100 for his career. He has 210 starts with the Nationals, three away from Gonzalez's franchise mark of 213.

Rendon's x-rays negative, Scherzer laments location
MIAMI - The Nationals lost 9-3 to the Marlins on Saturday night, but the biggest concern after the game was the status of third baseman Anthony Rendon. Rendon had to leave the game in the third inning after getting hit by a pitch on the left elbow. With his departure, Rendon's career-high 17-game hit streak came to an end. Fortunately, Rendon's X-rays came back negative. "I'm still breathing," Rendon said. "So, I'm doing all right. It's just a little swollen. X-rays were negative, so...

Glover pays visit to Nats; Ross could pitch again tonight
MIAMI - Right-handed reliever Koda Glover was in the clubhouse at Marlins Park today and got the chance to work out with the Nationals as he rehabs from a right forearm strain. Glover was already at his locker when the first team bus arrived before the game. He gave outfielder Michael A. Taylor a handshake and a big bear hug as his teammates made their way over to greet him. "I can't get my grin off my face, like seeing my boy Joe (Ross) and some of the guys," Glover said. "It's awesome....
