We're scoreless in Atlanta (Nats win 4-1)

We're scoreless in Atlanta (Nats win 4-1)
The Nationals and Braves had to wait three hours and 47 minutes to play baseball tonight; in return, we've seen a pretty decent pitching matchup between Tanner Roark and Aaron Harang. Neither pitcher has allowed a run through three innings of work. Roark has allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two, while Harang has allowed two hits, walked one and struck out one. It appears the rain delay did not bother either pitcher. Update: Denard Span extended his on-base streak to 35...

Williams on Roark, Werth and Souza (10:50 p.m. start time)

Williams on Roark, Werth and Souza (10:50 p.m. start time)
When Nationals manager Matt Williams wrote out the lineup card, he anticipated Jayson Werth could return to right field this evening, but that won't be the case. Werth was scratched from the Nats lineup with lingering soreness in his right shoulder and right ankle. Prior to being scratched, Williams said Werth was receiving treatment from the training staff. "When you get to this time of the season, you've got welts and scratches that can get kind of chronic if you allow it, so you've...

Souza diagnosed with shoulder inflammation

Souza diagnosed with shoulder inflammation
The Nationals' roster may have suffered another hit this evening in Atlanta. In the second inning, right fielder Steven Souza Jr., who was filling in for Jayson Werth, attempted to catch Freddie Freeman's two-run homer. Instead Souza slammed into the right field wall which is actually a chain link fence. Souza stayed in the game through the bottom of the inning, but was removed in the top of the third for Kevin Frandsen, due to shoulder inflammation. After the game manager Matt Williams...

Nats down early to Braves (Nats fall 7-6)

Nats down early to Braves (Nats fall 7-6)
The Nationals find themselves in a hole early in Atlanta. After being retired in order in the first, Stephen Strasburg took the mound in the bottom of the inning. Strasburg retired the first two batters he faced, but then issued a walk to Freddie Freeman. Justin Upton followed with a two-run homer to center field. Strasburg then walked Jason Heyward, but struck out Evan Gattis to end the inning. The Nats trail 2-0 at the end of one inning. Update II: Strasburg's struggles continued...

Williams on Werth, Souza, the bullpen and more
Jayson Werth is noticeably absent from the lineup for tonight's series opener against the Braves. Over the last few days, Werth has been dealing with shoulder and ankle injuries, and Nationals manager Matt Williams wanted to give the veteran a night off. This comes one night after Werth played all 13 innings in the Nats' 5-3 win over the Mets. "He's pretty banged up. He's been dealing with the shoulder, the ankle," Williams told reporters prior to Friday's game in Atlanta. "Long...

Patrick Reddington: Denard Span's on-base streak, a closer look
The last time Denard Span failed to reach base in a game, the 30-year-old Washington Nationals center fielder went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a 7-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. That was on June 28th. Since then, the second-year Nats outfielder has reached base in 33 straight games, lifting his line on the year from .268/.313/.392 to .300/.356/.400 in the process. In the second of those 33 games, Span went 0-for-3 with a walk to get the streak started. 12 games in an 0-for-3,...

Williams after the Nats' 13-inning walk-off win

Williams after the Nats' 13-inning walk-off win
It took nearly five hours and 13 innings, but the Nationals earned a series win over the Mets. Bryce Harper's two-run walk-off homer gave the Nats a 5-3 win over the Mets. The bullpen pitched 6 2/3 innings scoreless innings, highlighted by three scoreless frames from Craig Stammen. On Harper's two-run, game-winning homer: "That was a good swing. He had a couple of good ones today. It's coming. I'm happy for him, happy for our guys they battled. It's even better that (Harper's)...

#IChallengeAJ: Take on Jones in burger-building Fan Challenge, presented by CareFirst (updated)
If you follow Orioles center fielder Adam Jones on Twitter or watch his postgame interviews, you've probably seen or heard his famous "Stay Hungry" slogan. While known for his stellar play on the field, when you hear "Adam Jones," you also think of his love of food. He even created his own signature burger, the @SimplyAJ10 at The Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore. Check out the delicious-looking burger below.

#IChallengeMatt: Take on the skipper at his own game in CareFirst Fan Challenge (updated)
From watching Matt Williams on and off the field, one word immediately comes to mind when I think about the Nationals skipper: intense. The manager often appears serious and in the zone while managing his team. But that doesn't mean he doesn't also have fun and let loose. You'll see the best of both worlds from Williams at our upcoming Fan Challenge, presented by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield! We're inviting you to take on Williams at his own game.

David Huzzard: Nats excelling with baserunning
The Washington Nationals have scored 4.19 runs per game, which ranks them fourth in the National League and above the NL average of 3.97 runs a game. They've done this with a below average slugging of .382 and while hitting the seventh fewest home runs in the NL. The perception still exists that the Nationals are a team perpetually waiting for the three-run homer and with hand injuries to Wilson Ramos and Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth's power diminishing with age, Ian Desmond and Adam LaRoche...

Rachel Levitin: Not Nationals Stadium, not Nationals Field; it's called Nationals Park

Rachel Levitin: Not Nationals Stadium, not Nationals Field; it's called Nationals Park
So I have a pet peeve that I've stayed quiet about for too long now. It's gotten to the point where I nearly boiled over with irritation while discussing said pet peeve with my friend last night. What is it? Well, clearly it's baseball related, since it's being posted on this blog. Even now, in its seventh year of operation, there are people who live in the D.C. metropolitan area and suburbs who call Nationals Park anything except its namesake and it's driving me crazy. I've heard a...

Daniel Clark: O's winning despite struggling offense

Daniel Clark: O's winning despite struggling offense
As the first week of August nears its end, the Orioles have found themselves in a position that hasn't been seen all that often since returning to their winning ways in 2012. During the successful seasons of 2012 and 2013, the O's offense was rarely the No. 1 cause for concern, as that worry typically focused on inconsistent starting pitching. Powerful lineups in each of those two seasons - led by the likes of Adam Jones, Chris Davis, Matt Wieters, Manny Machado and J.J. Hardy - ensured O's...
