Strasburg leads Nats to 3-2 win in Game 1 of doubleheader

Strasburg leads Nats to 3-2 win in Game 1 of doubleheader
PHILADELPHIA - Bryce Harper wasted no time testing his hamstrings out after belting a two-out double down the right field line in the first. Wilson Ramos ended up stranding Harper to close out the frame. Stephen Strasburg struck out Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard to end a 14-pitch scoreless first inning. But in the second, Jeff Francoeur jumped all over Strasburg, rocking a 95 mph fastball deep into the seats in left for a solo homer. Update: Denard Span ripped a one-out double in the fifth...

Bryce Harper returns for Game 1 of doubleheader (with lineups)
PHILADELPHIA - Bryce Harper returns to the Nationals lineup for Game 1 of today's straight doubleheader with the Phillies. It will be Harper's first game action since he injured his right hamstring late in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Braves. Harper ripped a one-out double in the 11th inning, but pulled up lame as he arrived at second base. Harper was checked out briefly, but remained in the game to score the winning run moments later on Ian Desmond's walk-off sacrifice fly. Nationals...

Williams, Gonzalez left frustrated after delayed postponement

Williams, Gonzalez left frustrated after delayed postponement
PHILADELPHIA - With a massive storm bearing down on the eastern seaboard, the Nationals and Phillies got under way this afternoon - but under questionable conditions. They made it only through the top of the second before the game was halted due to heavy rain. After a lengthy delay, a decision was finally made to postpone the game and play it as part of a straight doubleheader beginning at 1:05 p.m. tomorrow, with both games live on MASN. Clearly upset, Nationals manager Matt Williams said he...

Williams with latest on Harper, Span and Escobar (game postponed)

Williams with latest on Harper, Span and Escobar (game postponed)
PHILADELPHIA - Nationals manager Matt Williams must have felt like he was filling out a Grapefruit League road game lineup earlier this afternoon. Ian Desmond is the only Nationals everyday starter playing as Williams will be without injured stars Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Yunel Escobar. Not to mention that Wilson Ramos is resting after catching the last four games and, of course, Anthony Rendon (left quad strain), Jayson Werth (left hand fracture) and Ryan Zimmerman (plantar fasciitis) are...

Who are these guys? Nationals bench comes through in 5-2 win

Who are these guys? Nationals bench comes through in 5-2 win
PHILADELPHIA - When Denard Span's back spasms forced Nationals manager Matt Williams to re-release his revised lineup card about an hour before first pitch last night, the result resembled a spring training batting order. Then Yunel Escobar left the game and by the time the bottom of the first inning started, the lineup had progressed to a mix of names from a March split squad scrimmage. "Weird day. Weird day," Williams reflected after. "Denard's in there and comes in for our advanced...

Max Scherzer dominates Phillies for 100th career win

Max Scherzer dominates Phillies for 100th career win
PHILADELPHIA - As Max Scherzer took the mound in the sixth inning of tonight's 5-2 Nationals win over the Phillies, not one person was surprised that the imposing right-hander had yet to allow a single base runner. Why would they be? It was third time in as many starts that Scherzer had gone through five innings completely perfect. And it was coming on the heels of two of the most remarkable back-to-back pitching performances in the game's history - a 16-strikeout one-hit shutout in Milwaukee...

Updates on Span and Escobar as Nats' injury report grows
PHILADELPHIA - About an hour before first pitch, Nationals center fielder Denard Span experienced another bout of back spasms and was forced to sit out tonight's 5-2 win over the Phillies. Span said he felt fine when he showed up at Citizens Bank Park and proceeded to go through his regular pregame routine. His batting practice session in the cage was interrupted by a meeting. When Span stood back up to go resume hitting, his back locked up on him. "It's more frustrating than anything,"...

Max Scherzer powers Nationals to 5-2 win
PHILADELPHIA - Back spasms forced Denard Span out of tonight's game, with Michael A. Taylor taking over center field and the leadoff spot in the order. Taylor smacked the first pitch from Phillies starter Aaron Harang over center fielder Odubel Herrera's head for a double. Two batters later, Harang ran an 89 mph fastball in hard on Yunel Escobar's left hand, sending him to the ground. Nationals manager Matt Williams and head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz immediately came out of the dugout to...

Williams reacts to Rendon's trip to DL and Harper's latest setback
PHILADELPHIA - Just as the Nationals seemingly were separating themselves from the competition in the National League East, the injury bug has struck again. Second baseman Anthony Rendon was the first bad news, the Nationals placing the 25-year-old infielder on the 15-day disabled list earlier today with a left quadriceps strain. Then came news that right fielder Bryce Harper will miss his second straight game with tightness in his right hamstring. And center fielder Denard Span was the latest...

Back spasms force Span to join Harper on sidelines (updated lineups)
PHILADELPHIA - Right fielder Bryce Harper will miss his second straight game after pulling up lame with a right leg cramp on a double in the 11th inning of Wednesday's victory over the Braves. Harper remained in that game, scoring the game-winning shortly after, but was unable to play yesterday. Nationals manager Matt Williams yesterday called Harper's absence in the lineup nothing but a "day off." Clint Robinson will start for Harper in right field. Robinson was 2-for-3 with an RBI...

Patrick Reddington: Roark has morphed into Nats' utility arm

Patrick Reddington: Roark has morphed into Nats' utility arm
All is right with the Nationals for the moment. With the help of Joe Ross, now down at Triple-A Syracuse, the much-ballyhooed best rotation in baseball has put together a streak of 41 1/3 scoreless innings. Stephen Strasburg and Doug Fister returned from their respective DL stints with strong outings. With solid pitching and a resurgent offense that was able to manufacture runs, the Nats finished their eight-game homestand with six straight wins, three each over the Pittsburgh Pirates and...

Matthew Taylor: On opposite directions and changing fortunes

Matthew Taylor: On opposite directions and changing fortunes
June has provided me with renewed appreciation for the Orioles' success since 2012. It's not simply that the team seems to have turned things around after a slow start to this season, although the early struggles certainly served as a reminder not to take things for granted. Rather, my appreciation stems from the O's wins - seven of them in nine tries - against the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies. Beating two teams that have a combined 58-90 record isn't typically cause for...

What's next for Max Scherzer?
Following yesterday's 6-0 shutout win in which Doug Fister extended a franchise-best record of scoreless innings by Washington Nationals starters to 41 1/3 innings, outfielder Clint Robinson was asked what he expects when Max Scherzer takes the hill in Philadelphia tonight. "I don't know," Robinson said with a look of amazement as reporters laughed. "What do you guys think? I'd expect the same thing he did last time." That's the level that Scherzer is pitching at these days after...
