Nationals hang on for wild 11-10 win over A's

Nationals hang on for wild 11-10 win over A's
OAKLAND, Calif. - Six years later, Ryan Zimmerman made Ryan Madson pay once again with a big blast late to win a ballgame for the Nationals. Facing the veteran reliever for the first time since 2011, Zimmerman launched a three-run homer down the left field line, breaking an eighth-inning tie and propelling the Nationals to what became a 11-10 victory over the Athletics after a wild ninth inning for both lineups. The blast was Zimmerman's 16th of the season, tied for the league lead and...

Harper returns after serving suspension in Vegas (Nats win 11-10)

Harper returns after serving suspension in Vegas (Nats win 11-10)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Bryce Harper is back with the Nationals, back in the lineup after a four-day trip home to Las Vegas he never wanted to take but nonetheless tried to enjoy. "I'm just happy to be back," he said. "I'm definitely happy to be back here with the guys and to be able to play today. I'm glad that's out of the way and we can all move forward." Having served his full three-game suspension (with an off-day for the Nats in the middle of that) Harper was free to rejoin the team for...

Game 55 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - It's a beautiful Sunday here in Oakland as the Nationals wrap up their weeklong trip to the Bay Area with one final game against the A's, looking to bounce back from yesterday's loss and win the three-game series before heading down to Los Angeles for the final leg of the road trip. And it's a beautiful day for the Nationals because Bryce Harper is back. Having served his three-game suspension, the young star is active again and back in his customary spot in the lineup....

With one-third of season complete, Nats like where they stand

With one-third of season complete, Nats like where they stand
OAKLAND, Calif. - The baseball season is long, and there are plenty of ups and downs, hot streaks and slumps for every player and every team through the course of a 162-game schedule. So it would be irresponsible to suggest that what we've seen so far from the Nationals, both on a team and individual level, is going to continue exactly the same way over the remainder of the season. But having made that caveat, we do have to point out that after Saturday's game, the Nationals' season reached...

Nationals face decision with ineffective Ross after 10-4 loss

Nationals face decision with ineffective Ross after 10-4 loss
OAKLAND, Calif. - There really is only one question the Nationals need to answer right now, in the wake of today's 10-4 loss to the Athletics. There may be other matters of minor significance to emerge from the game - most notably ninth-inning injuries to Jayson Werth (who fouled a ball off his left foot) and Daniel Murphy (who took a pitch off his right knee) - but the matter of most significance is this: What are they going to do about Joe Ross? Can a first-place club with the loftiest of...

Another ragged, and brief, outing for Ross (Nats lose, 10-4)

Another ragged, and brief, outing for Ross (Nats lose, 10-4)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Joe Ross' homecoming turned into a nightmare. Making his first major league start at the Oakland Coliseum, just 10 minutes from his childhood home, Ross was rocked by the Athletics and was pulled after only three laborious innings. Ross allowed seven runs (six earned), served up a pair of home runs and needed a whopping 82 pitches just to record nine outs in his latest ragged start, which leaves the Nationals now faced with a tough decision about how to proceed. This outing...

On Baker's 1,800th win, the sun in Oakland and Harper's return

On Baker's 1,800th win, the sun in Oakland and Harper's return
OAKLAND, Calif. - Dusty Baker didn't realize it until he was informed after the fact. But once the Nationals manager learned he had won his 1,800th career game Friday night, he - and others around him - couldn't help but appreciate the significance. "Now you think about it." Baker said. "My son was like: 'Dad, that's a lot of wins.' Chris Speier and the coaches were like: 'That's an awful lot of wins.' Now you start thinking about: Well, you might as well continue and get to 2,000....

Game 54 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Nationals proved they could hit the ball out of the Oakland Coliseum at night, when the air is thick and the temperatures drop. Now they'll see if they can do it under theoretically better conditions this afternoon when they face the A's in the second game of their weekend series and attempt to improve to 5-0 on this road trip. Actually, the better indicator of whether the Nats will have a big day at the plate might be the fact that Joe Ross is their starting pitcher...

For Oakland native Ross, Coliseum debut is special event

For Oakland native Ross, Coliseum debut is special event
OAKLAND, Calif. - With all due respect to the multipurpose facility here that has gone by five different names during its five decades of existence, rarely is a ballplayer excited to make his first ever appearance at the Oakland Coliseum. Consider Joe Ross the exception to the rule. And for good reason. When Ross takes the mound at the Coliseum this afternoon for the Nationals, he'll be doing so only 10 minutes from his childhood home, inside the ballpark he came to countless times as a kid,...

Nats' latest offensive explosion includes five homers (updated)

Nats' latest offensive explosion includes five homers (updated)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Another late night on the West Coast, another impressive offensive performance, another dominant start. And, by extension, another convincing win for the Nationals. Tonight's 13-3 victory over the Athletics was the Nats' fourth straight to begin this nine-game swing through California. And like the previous three in San Francisco, it was never seriously in doubt. Michael A. Taylor, Daniel Murphy, Jayson Werth, Brian Goodwin and Anthony Rendon all homered to pace a balanced...

OAKLAND, Calif. - No Bryce Harper, no problem for the Nationals, who continue to rake at the plate no matter who's absent from the lineup. With Harper serving the second game of his three-game suspension, the Nats are still piling up hits in their series opener against the Athletics. They've already plated six runs on 10 hits through the game's first four innings, with production from nearly every starter. Michael A. Taylor and Daniel Murphy hit solo homers to get things started against A's...

Heisey pulled off rehab assignment, not ready to return from DL
OAKLAND, Calif. - Chris Heisey has rejoined the Nationals, but that doesn't mean he's about to rejoin the active roster. Heisey was pulled of his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg after only two games and four total at-bats, and flew to California to meet up with the Nats training and coaching staffs prior to tonight's series opener against the Athletics. Out since May 24 with a ruptured right biceps tendon, the veteran outfielder appears to need some more time to recover from the...

OAKLAND, Calif. - And a pleasant Friday evening to you all from the - wait, what's this placed called these days? - oh, it's just the Oakland Coliseum. This is only the Nationals' second-ever trip here; they were swept back in May 2014. I wasn't covering that series, so this actually is my first time here since the 2002 playoffs. Let's just say it hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. The Nationals are hoping to bring their winning ways over from the other side of the bay after...

After day off, Nationals now face longest stretch with no break

After day off, Nationals now face longest stretch with no break
OAKLAND - Dusty Baker knows the potential perils of pitfalls of a long West Coast trip. Between the time change, the nice weather and other distractions, it's easy for a previously rolling East Coast club to head out this way and get thrown off track. "This is a business trip, and a lot of times this can turn into a pleasure trip," Baker said Monday morning before his Nationals opened a three-game series with the Giants, the first leg of a three-city trip that stops in Oakland this weekend...

Two months in, Zimmerman continues to produce at the plate
SAN FRANCISCO - There is still far more baseball to be played than has been played in 2017. But a not-insignificant amount of baseball has been played to date, with the calendar now turning another page. And just as was the case when April turned to May, Ryan Zimmerman still ranks among the league leaders in almost every offensive category as May turns to June. With a three-run blast during Wednesday night's 3-1 victory over the Giants, Zimmerman raised his home run total to 15 and his RBI...

Scherzer goes the distance on 100 pitches to beat Giants

Scherzer goes the distance on 100 pitches to beat Giants
SAN FRANCISCO - As Max Scherzer stalked his way out to the mound for the bottom of the ninth inning tonight, Dusty Baker would have been justified in sending one of his relievers down to the bullpen to begin warming up. Not because Baker didn't believe Scherzer would be able to complete this game on his own. But with the Nationals leading the Giants by the relatively slim margin of 3-1, it wouldn't have taken much for the script of this contest to flip in a hurry. Yet the thought never really...

Scherzer dealing, Zimmerman mashing (Nats win 3-1)
SAN FRANCISCO - Max Scherzer had the look early tonight of a guy poised to once again do something special. The end result won't be special after the Giants plated a run in the bottom of the fourth, but Scherzer nonetheless still has the look of a guy putting together another dominant start. The right-hander retired the first 10 batters he faced, four via strikeout, before allowing a clean single and then a not-clean double when Jayson Werth and Michael A. Taylor appeared to lose a routine fly...

Mays visits Nats clubhouse, plus notes on Lind and Blanton
SAN FRANCISCO - Having Dusty Baker for a manager carries some special perks. Like, for example, having Willie Mays show up in your clubhouse. The Hall of Famer made an unannounced visit to the visitors' clubhouse at AT&T Park this afternoon, catching up with Baker (a longtime friend) and meeting Nationals players and personnel. "They were kind of shy, kind of like little kids, when they see Willie Mays." Baker said. "And I feel like I'm very fortunate to have been with him for quite a...

SAN FRANCISCO - Major League Baseball has reduced Bryce Harper's suspension to three games after hearing his appeal, and the Nationals slugger will begin serving his time tonight, according to a source familiar with the decision. Harper, who originally was suspended four games for charging the mound Monday after getting intentionally hit in the right hip by a 98 mph fastball from reliever Hunter Strickland, will sit out tonight's series finale against the Giants and the first two games of the...
