Nationals lineup comes back to life in 7-2 win over Marlins

Nationals lineup comes back to life in 7-2 win over Marlins
MIAMI - They spent four days at hitter-friendly Miller Park swinging through high fastballs and low breaking balls, unable to generate offense when they needed it. Then the Nationals arrived at cavernous Marlins Park tonight and proceeded to rediscover their lost ability for offensive explosions. Behind big performances from Daniel Murphy and Anthony Rendon, the Nationals broke out of their funk and cruised to a 7-2 victory over the Marlins that moved them another step closer to another...

Scherzer still recovering from bruised calf (Nats win 7-2)

Scherzer still recovering from bruised calf (Nats win 7-2)
MIAMI - Max Scherzer isn't concerned about his left calf in the grand scheme of things, but at this point it's uncertain whether the Nationals ace will be able to make his next start on schedule or need to wait a few more days to return to the mound. Scherzer, who took a line drive off his lower left leg Saturday night in Milwaukee, was still walking with a slight limp this afternoon at Marlins Park. He took the field, with glove in hand, along with his teammates for batting practice but...

Fedde shut down for rest of '17 with flexor strain in forearm

Fedde shut down for rest of '17 with flexor strain in forearm
MIAMI - The injury Erick Fedde is now dealing with - a strained flexor mass in his forearm - wouldn't typically require a long layoff. But given the situation both the Nationals and Fedde are in right now, at this stage of the season, the club has decided to not to send its top pitching prospect back to the mound until next spring. "We shut him down in an abundance of caution," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He's a guy that would've probably missed a start or two. But he's been...

Game 137 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Fedde to DL)

Game 137 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Fedde to DL)
MIAMI - Hello from Marlins Park, which is hosting the Nationals for the third time in 11 weeks. (Actually, for the club's All-Stars, the fourth time in 11 weeks. And yes, that's a lot of trips here in a short period of time.) This much I can report: Jeffrey Loria is still the owner. Giancarlo Stanton is still hitting bombs. And the Home Run Thingamabob still stands behind the fence in left-center field. After a frustrating weekend series in Milwaukee that featured only eight runs scored in...

Cole, not Fedde, to start series opener in Miami

Cole, not Fedde, to start series opener in Miami
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals will give their starting pitchers an extra day of rest this week, summoning a young right-hander to pitch tonight's series opener against the Marlins in Miami. Just not the young right-hander most expected. A.J. Cole will be on the mound tonight at Marlins Park, not Erick Fedde, manager Dusty Baker revealed following Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers. Baker didn't offer up any more expansive explanation for the decision, but it does suggest the organization has some...

While Harper recovers, Nationals struggling to score runs

While Harper recovers, Nationals struggling to score runs
MILWAUKEE - Even when they lost a host of key regulars to injury over the season's first 4 1/2 months, the Nationals managed to make up for it, thanks to consistent production from the heart of their lineup and the performances of several replacements. And so, on Aug. 12 this team ranked second in the majors with 5.44 runs per game, second with a .275 batting average and third with a .340 on-base percentage. But in the 22 games they've played since, the Nationals have seen their offensive...

Nationals fall 7-2 to Brewers, lose season series

Nationals fall 7-2 to Brewers, lose season series
MILWAUKEE - The prospect of a game against a starter restricted to three innings and then a parade of relievers should have been enticing for the Nationals. Instead it led to even more frustration for a lineup that seems to have lost its way. Left-hander Brent Suter and four Brewers relievers combined to toss a three-hitter and hand the Nationals a 7-2 loss at Miller Park to cap a rough weekend for Washington. The Nationals lost three of four in this series and thus lost the season series to...

Tight back keeps Wieters out of lineup again (Nats lose 7-2)

Tight back keeps Wieters out of lineup again (Nats lose 7-2)
MILWAUKEE - Matt Wieters is out of the Nationals lineup for the third straight day, though the veteran catcher said it's not because of the foul ball he took off his right knee Thursday night but rather a tight back that has been bothering him for a little while. "The knee's fine," Wieters said. "Just bruises. No problem coming into play. I've been having a little bit of a tight back to go with it, so it's kind of more just trying to get it completely freed up and loosened up before we...

Game 136 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - On the heels of a come-from-behind win Saturday night, the Nationals now try to salvage a four-game split with the Brewers this afternoon, and in the process win the rubber game of the season series between the two clubs. (It currently stands at 3-3.) In order to pull that off, the Nats will need another strong outing from Edwin Jackson, who took one of his three losses to the Brewers in July in D.C., giving up seven runs (three earned) in five innings. That remains one of only two...

Despite harrowing moment, Doolittle notches 14th save

Despite harrowing moment, Doolittle notches 14th save
MILWAUKEE - Sean Doolittle threw the pitch - a thigh-high, 97 mph fastball - and saw Manny Piña make good contact. But he didn't spin around to watch the play. Instead, the Nationals closer's eyes remained fixated on the Brewers batter, even after contact, trying to gauge whether he had just recorded the game's final out ... or a served up a walk-off homer. "In the dome, a lot of times everything sounds loud, so it's tough to really get a read on how good he got it," Doolittle said....

Scherzer guts out five innings with bruised calf

Scherzer guts out five innings with bruised calf
MILWAUKEE - Max Scherzer knew he couldn't run. His labored attempt to get out of the batter's box after tapping a groundball in the top of the fifth confirmed that. But Scherzer also knew he could pitch without suffering any ill effects from the comebacker that struck him in the left calf way back in the bottom of the first tonight at Miller Park. Perhaps nobody on the Nationals roster is as honest and forthcoming with the staff about his physical state than the ace right-hander, so Dusty...

MILWAUKEE - Max Scherzer seemed to get through the neck issue that briefly landed him on the disabled list. But when a comebacker struck him in the lower left leg during the bottom of the first inning tonight at Miller Park, the Nationals ace suddenly found himself compensating for a new physical ailment. And the result wasn't all that pretty to watch. Showing obvious effects of from the ball off his leg, Scherzer lasted only five innings against the Brewers, pulled despite allowing only one...

Wieters sits for second straight game with sore knee (Nats win 3-2)
MILWAUKEE - Matt Wieters is out of the Nationals lineup for the second straight night, still dealing with a sore left knee that was injured late in Thursday's game at Miller Park. Wieters took a foul ball off that knee during the Nats' 6-2 loss to the Brewers in their series opener, and though he finished the game he has been held out of the lineup each of the last two nights. Manager Dusty Baker doesn't expect his veteran catcher to miss any more time. "He's doing OK," Baker said. "He...

Madson good to go after receiving electric treatment in Phoenix

Madson good to go after receiving electric treatment in Phoenix
MILWAUKEE - When Ryan Madson had to cut short a warmup session in the bullpen at Nationals Park three weeks ago, he assumed something was wrong with his index finger. Why else would that digit hurt when he tried to throw, not only that night in D.C. but four days later in San Diego when he tried to play catch? Madson wound up on the disabled list with a sprained finger. Turns out, though, the issue was in his lower forearm, just above the wrist. Madson discovered this thanks to a visit to his...

MILWAUKEE - Not that their life depends on it or anything, but the Nationals certainly would like to win tonight's game at Miller Park. They've already dropped the first two games of this series to the Brewers. Now they send Max Scherzer to the mound against rookie Brandon Woodruff, so you have to this is a good a matchup as any to get back on track. Scherzer looked like his old self Monday night, showing no ill effects from the neck injury that forced him to the disabled list. He already...

Roark "back to form" and resembling his 2016 self
MILWAUKEE - Yes, they still need to win games over the season's final month so they can wrap up their fourth division title in six years. But at this point, given their comfortable standing, the Nationals can afford to look not just at each individual game, but at the larger picture, especially for those players who are trying to best position themselves to be in peak form come October. In that regard, few members of the roster are positioning themselves better right than Tanner...

Nationals waste Roark's gem, lose 1-0 to Brewers (updated)

Nationals waste Roark's gem, lose 1-0 to Brewers (updated)
MILWAUKEE - Tanner Roark did just about everything he could, aside from one bad pitch in the bottom of the first. Who knew that one bad pitch would prove the entire difference in the game for the Nationals? Unable to solve Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson or a pair of relievers, who combined to record 17 strikeouts, the Nationals wasted perhaps Roark's best outing of the season and were left to stew over a 1-0 loss at Miller Park. "Very rarely does it happen," said Roark, who had taken the loss...

Plenty of opportunities, but zero runs early (Nats lose 1-0)
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals are giving themselves plenty of opportunities to get on the board against Jimmy Nelson. They just aren't making anything out of those opportunities so far. Despite six baserunners in three innings - four of them reaching at least second base - the Nationals have posted nothing but zeroes against the Brewers, making for a frustrating start to tonight's game. Nelson has baffled them, in particular with a curveball that he is rarely throwing in the strike zone but is...

Madson, Romero return from DL to bolster Nationals bullpen
MILWAUKEE - Ryan Madson is back on the Nationals active roster. Whether he's ready to pitch quite yet remains to be seen. Madson was one of five players added to the roster before tonight's game against the Brewers, joining fellow pitchers Enny Romero, Austin Adams and Erick Fedde, plus catcher Raudy Read as the club's first round of September call-ups. All technically are eligible to appear in games immediately, but Madson may need a bit more time. Out since Aug. 14 with a sprained index...

MILWAUKEE - It's September at last, and not a moment too soon for a Nationals club that has been playing the waiting game for quite some time now, another division title all but wrapped up, a host of injured players slowly but surely returning to the active roster. There's still one more long month to go, but for the first time the finish line is now within reach. September also means expanded rosters, and the Nationals have added five players today: relievers Ryan Madson, Enny Romero (both...
