Scherzer, Harper lead Nats to sixth straight win, 2-1

Scherzer, Harper lead Nats to sixth straight win, 2-1
The Phillies used a pair of doubles from Ryan Howard and Odubel Herrera in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead. Howard's two-bagger led off the inning, but Max Scherzer caught him in between second and third on Maikel Franco's grounder back to the mound moments later. It looked like Scherzer may get out of the inning unscathed until Herrera slammed one off the center field wall, scoring Franco. The rookie Herrera is now 10-for-26 against the Nats this year and 4-for-8 against Scherzer. The...

Matt Williams: "I want Bryce to be Bryce"

Matt Williams: "I want Bryce to be Bryce"
Nationals manager Matt Williams returns to the dugout tonight after being tossed for defending Bryce Harper in the third inning of Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. "Without getting in to what happened three days ago, I know nobody's going to let it go," Williams said before tonight's game. "I would encourage everybody to do so because we're now playing the Phillies." Williams indicated he has not heard anything from Major League Baseball regarding home plate umpire Marvin Hudson's...

Scherzer faces Phillies for third time (with lineups)

Scherzer faces Phillies for third time (with lineups)
Max Scherzer enters tonight's game as a winner in his last three starts. The ace of the Nationals' rotation is 4-3 with a 1.75 ERA, having struck out 66 and walked only eight. Scherzer is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Phillies this year, allowing just two earned runs in 14 innings pitched. "He's a gamer," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "He enjoys the day he pitches but he enjoys the other days as well. He's helpful. He's active even on the days he doesn't pitch in the dugout...

Patrick Reddington: The Nationals' yearly search for a gem
With the 57th pick of last June's draft, the Nationals selected left-handed pitcher Andrew Suarez out of the University of Miami. Suarez, 21, and a 6-foot-2 southpaw, went 6-3 with a 2.95 ERA in 16 starts for the Hurricanes, walking 15 (1.23 walks/nine innings) and striking out 87 (7.14 strikeouts/nine innings) in 109 2/3 innings pitched. "We tried to take the best player available," assistant general manger and vice president of scouting operations Kris Kline told reporters when asked about...

Second thoughts on when Anthony Rendon returns

Second thoughts on when Anthony Rendon returns
The turnaround the Nationals offense has made is almost quite as dramatic as some of their late-inning comebacks since their perplexing 7-13 start. Their 205 runs scored and 199 RBIs lead the National League and are second-best in all of baseball to Toronto. And, the scary thought is they continue to do it without one of the top run producers from 2014 in their lineup. Anthony Rendon drove in 83 runs and scored a league-high 111 while finishing fifth in the NL MVP vote in just his second year...

Matthew Taylor: When wooden foul lines factored into a wager between pitchers

Matthew Taylor: When wooden foul lines factored into a wager between pitchers
Orioles pitchers Hoyt Wilhelm and Billy O'Dell each entered the 1959 season with one career home run. Wilhelm's homer came during his rookie campaign with the New York Giants in 1952; O'Dell's blast was in 1958 for the Orioles. The players made a bet about who would hit the most home runs in 1959. The anniversary of O'Dell winning that bet, thanks to a quirky assist from Memorial Stadium's wooden foul lines, passed earlier this week. O'Dell became one of the approximately 10 major league...

Baseball craves Bryce Harper's personality

Baseball craves Bryce Harper's personality
Bryce Harper will never be universally liked. Understand that first, and then we can begin the discussion. I could use the rest of this page describing why scouts have been drooling about Harper since he was taking pre-Algebra. But we know all of those reasons and we've seen them on display in his first four seasons, and certainly the past few weeks. The problem is that some will never accept the total package that accompanies Harper's ultra-talented skill set. When you grace the cover of...

Zach Wilt: Putting faith in the arms while O's lumber slumbers

Zach Wilt: Putting faith in the arms while O's lumber slumbers
When your favorite team has lost four of their last seven games, it's easy to be nitpicky. When they're in fourth place in the AL East on May 21, it's even more easy to just be flat out negative. Watching Nelson Cruz blast a three-run homer in his return to Charm City was painful, not only because of the dozens of replies I received on Twitter from angry O's fans, but also because the Birds have lacked a bit of the power they've had over the past few seasons. As a team, the Orioles have...

Bryce Harper: "I don't think 40,000 people came to watch him ump tonight"

Bryce Harper: "I don't think 40,000 people came to watch him ump tonight"
The second ejection of star Bryce Harper in the past week overshadowed the Nationals' 12th come-from-behind win in tonight's 3-2 triumph over the Yankees. Harper, the current back-to-back winner of the National League's Player of the Week honors, was tossed by home plate umpire Melvin Hudson in the third inning during his second at-bat. Hudson had just called Yankees starter Adam Warren's first pitch to Harper a strike. It looked low. There was objection from Nationals manager Matt Williams...

David Huzzard: Should Nationals be targeting Rockies' Tulowitzki?

David Huzzard: Should Nationals be targeting Rockies' Tulowitzki?
When the Nationals signed Max Scherzer to a seven-year, $210 million contract, they signaled that they were not only going for it in 2015 but where going to be competitive for a long time. Unfortunately, many ignored the fact that it was a multi-year contract and labeled it a win-now move. The Nationals are very interested in winning in 2015 and general manager Mike Rizzo has shown a willingness to do what it takes to construct a roster capable of doing just that, but he also wants to be able...

Bryce Harper's explanation for his ejection
A candid Bryce Harper addressed the media after tonight's 3-2 win to discuss his third inning ejection by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson: "I feel like he (umpire Marvin Hudson) was more mad at Matt (Williams) than he was me. I was just standing there. He called the strike and I didn't care really. I just looked off and put my head over. I looked at the floor and was like, 'That was a little down, don't you think?' He told me to get in the box and I was already in the box. Then I was...

Nats overcome Bryce Harper's ejection in 3-2 win

Nats overcome Bryce Harper's ejection in 3-2 win
The Yankees came out swinging against Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann. After knocking a leadoff single, Brett Gardner scored the game's first run on Carlos Beltran's double to the right-center field gap. Two batters later, a sacrifice fly from Brian McCann plated Beltran. The Nationals answered in their side of the frame. For the second consecutive day, Ian Desmond ripped a first inning homer. The solo shot was Desmond's fourth on the season. Yankees starter Adam Warren surrendered walks...

Wilson Ramos continues attacking during 19-game hitting streak

Wilson Ramos continues attacking during 19-game hitting streak
Ryan Zimmerman's dramatic walk-off blast overshadowed many significant moments in last night's 11th come-from-behind win, and rightfully so. But, the Nationals were able to get to Zimmerman's extra inning heroics because Wilson Ramos aggressively stepped to the plate in the sixth and blasted a game-tying solo home run. "In that situation, we were down by one and I get three balls in a row and I saw the third base coach he give me the green light to swing the bat," Ramos said. "But, I'm...

The Nationals enter tonight's game against the Yankees having won four consecutive games that Jordan Zimmermann has started. The right-hander hurled six scoreless innings against the Padres in last Friday's 10-0 victory while also collecting a double at the plate. Zimmermann will work with Wilson Ramos behind the plate this evening. Ramos extended his major league-leading 19-game hitting streak with a solo homer last night that tied the game in the sixth.

Rachel Levitin: Another memory for Nats fans, Zimmerman to cherish

Rachel Levitin: Another memory for Nats fans, Zimmerman to cherish
Since their inception in 2005, the Nationals have gone from a cellar-dwelling team to a two-time National League East championship ballclub eager to take home baseball's top prize of a world championship. There have been several major milestone moments along the way, including the team's first no-hitter pitched by Jordan Zimmermann in 2014 and the back-to-back No. 1 draft picks of Stephen Strasburg in 2009 and Bryce Harper in 2010 that added talent - and mainstream buzz within the American...

Domenic Vadala: With Wright, Orioles are doing things the right way

Domenic Vadala: With Wright, Orioles are doing things the right way
For starters, the debut of Mike Wright on Sunday was about as awe-inspiring as a debut can be. Seriously, I can't imagine what must have been going through his mind walking off the mound in the 8th inning to a standing ovation like he did. And he indicated as much after the game, saying that you really couldn't draw it up any better than that. However, Buck Showalter said something that piqued my interest in his postgame press conference on Sunday afternoon. He said that in Wright's case,...
