Lineup gives Gonzalez plenty of support for 100th career win

Lineup gives Gonzalez plenty of support for 100th career win
Gio Gonzalez kept giving back the leads his teammates provided, but the Nationals kept providing enough run support until the left-hander settled down and then handed the game over to his bullpen, which finished off an 8-5 victory over the Rockies. Gonzalez, who allowed two runs and four hits over six innings, earned his 100th career win. Jayson Werth and Daniel Murphy homered for the Nationals, who won their second straight after a four-game losing streak. Werth got the Nationals on the board...

Howard calls induction into Nats Ring of Honor "a real thrill"

Howard calls induction into Nats Ring of Honor "a real thrill"
For a generation of Washington baseball fans, there always has been no bigger figure in this town than Frank Howard. And that's only in part because of Hondo's 6-foot-7 frame. Howard has long been remembered as by far the best to ever play for the expansion version of the Senators that called D.C. home from 1961-71. He wasn't good enough to merit serious consideration for the Hall of Fame, but he was good enough to merit a statue outside Nationals Park, alongside permanent Cooperstown...

Barrett determined to make full recovery from "traumatic" injury

Barrett determined to make full recovery from "traumatic" injury
The road to recovery from Tommy John surgery is long and lonely, and tests the mind just as much as it tests the reconstructed elbow of a pitcher. Aaron Barrett was far down that road in late July, a full 11 months removed from his surgery and fully confident he'd be ready to pitch in a big league game for the Nationals after only one more month of rehab. Barrett was standing on a mound on one of the practice fields in Viera, Fla., on July 22, 10 pitches into a scheduled 20-pitch simulated...

Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies

Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies
After the excitement and drama of the four-day, two-city Beltways Series, the Nationals get back to business this weekend with the Rockies in town. Max Scherzer saved the bullpen last night with his dominant eight-inning performance. But in order to keep that bullpen from getting burned up again, Gio Gonzalez will need to follow up his rotation mate with a strong start of his own tonight. Gonzalez will be working with Jose Lobaton, a pairing that has enjoyed plenty of success in the past. That...

Rzepczynski thrilled to join Nationals after whirlwind day

Rzepczynski thrilled to join Nationals after whirlwind day
Marc Rzepczynski was taking a nap in Northern California when he was startled to find out he'd just been traded from the Athletics to the Nationals. Not upset, mind you, because he was suddenly heading from a last-place club to a first-place club for the final six weeks of a pennant race. But the veteran left-hander's life was suddenly being uprooted, and his new team needed him on the other side of the country ASAP. "I was actually taking a nap when this happened," Rzepczynski said. "We...

Scherzer shows he's "the guy" in latest dominant performance

Scherzer shows he's "the guy" in latest dominant performance
Jose Lobaton doesn't get very many opportunities to catch Max Scherzer. He's only been behind the plate with the Nationals' $210 million right-hander eight times in two seasons. But, boy, does he savor those opportunities, especially when they come in particularly big games like tonight's 4-0 win over the Orioles. "He's in the moment," Lobaton said. "He wants to show that he's the guy. I love that. I love that." Scherzer most definitely was "the guy" tonight. With his team mired in...

Scherzer piling up strikeouts again (Nationals win 4-0)

Scherzer piling up strikeouts again (Nationals win 4-0)
Max Scherzer strikes out a lot of batters but gives up lots of homers. The Orioles lineup strikes out a lot but hits a lot of homers. Which makes for an intriguing matchup tonight in the finale of the Beltway Series at Nationals Park. One that so far is being dominated by Scherzer. The Nationals ace has retired the first nine Baltimore batters he's faced, striking out six of them. He's done this on a scant 35 pitches. As is so often the case, Scherzer offers up ample evidence early what kind...

Rzepczynski available to pitch tonight, Lopez optioned to Triple-A

Rzepczynski available to pitch tonight, Lopez optioned to Triple-A
Marc Rzepczynski has arrived in Washington. And apparently traffic was light enough getting into town from Dulles that the newly acquired reliever has made it to Nationals Park in time to be eligible for tonight's game. "There's a chance," manager Dusty Baker said earlier this afternoon, perhaps underestimating how difficult it typically is to make that 30-mile drive into town during rush hour. Turns out Baker's optimism was warranted, though, and so Rzepczynski will be at his disposal out...

The Nationals didn't expect to find themselves in this position, needing to beat the Orioles tonight to avoid a four-game sweep, but here they are nonetheless. They'll ask Max Scherzer to stop the bleeding and give this team the dominant start it so desperately needs. No word yet if the newly acquired Marc Rzepczynski - I'm getting good at spelling his name without having to check first - will be here in time to be activate for tonight's game. At this point, the Nats haven't announced a...

Nats acquire lefty Rzepczynski from A's for infielder Schrock
Desperate for left-handed relief after Felipe Rivero was traded, Sammy Solis was injured and Oliver Perez was ineffective, the Nationals have acquired veteran Marc Rzepczynski from the Athletics for minor league infielder Max Schrock. The trade also includes cash coming from the A's to the Nationals to cover some of the roughly $600,000 Rzepczynski is still owed this season. Rzepczynski - his name is pronounced "zep-CHIN-skee" but he also goes by the nickname "Scrabble" - owns a 3.87 ERA...

Turner matches franchise record with 8-for-8 streak

Turner matches franchise record with 8-for-8 streak
Trea Turner knew he had gone 8-for-8 over the last two nights - "I mean, if you don't, you're lying," he said. "Everyone thinks about it." - but he didn't know he had tied a franchise record in the process. Not until Turner went back to watch video of his final at-bat of Wednesday night's game, his ninth-inning strikeout, did he see a graphic on the screen pointing out he needed one more hit to break the record set previously by the Expos' Andre Dawson in 1983 and the Nationals'...

Nats stuck in losing streak, but encouraged by near-historic ninth

Nats stuck in losing streak, but encouraged by near-historic ninth
They came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth at the end of a miserable night during a miserable week during which it has felt like they've been fighting an uphill battle every step of the way. Three quick outs and the Nationals' fourth straight defeat would be in the books, a second straight lopsided loss to the Orioles. It didn't quite happen like that, though. The end result - a fourth straight loss - may have been the same, but the manner in which it happened, with the Nationals...

Roark is latest starting pitcher to labor (Nationals lose 10-8)

Roark is latest starting pitcher to labor (Nationals lose 10-8)
For all their pitching struggles and overuse in the last two weeks, the Nationals had to at least take solace knowing one of their most reliable starters would be on the mound tonight: Tanner Roark. Then Roark took the mound and picked up where the rest of the Nationals pitching staff left off. And that's not a good thing. Roark labored mightily through his first inning, throwing 39 pitches to nine batters, with four of them scoring to give the Orioles a commanding early lead. It has been a...

Cole slated to start Saturday, but Giolito available this weekend
The Nationals plan to keep A.J. Cole and have him start Saturday night against the Rockies, but manager Dusty Baker said that plan remains tentative and Lucas Giolito will be available to rejoin the big league rotation this weekend if needed. Pressed into emergency duties Monday when Stephen Strasburg had to be placed on the disabled list with a sore elbow, Cole impressed in only his second career big league start, going seven innings in a 4-3 loss to the Orioles. That performance appears to...

Game 126 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
The Beltways Series has moved down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway - has anyone ever pointed out you don't need to take either town's beltway to drive from one ballpark to the other? - for the next two nights. The Nationals can only hope the results improve from the last two nights at Camden Yards. The good news: Tanner Roark and Max Scherzer take the mound for these two games against Wade Miley and Ubaldo Jimenez (filling in Thursday for the injured Chris Tillman). Whether the Nationals can...

What's the state of the Nats pitching staff tonight?

What's the state of the Nats pitching staff tonight?
BALTIMORE - The Nationals have spent the better part of a week trying to get their bullpen back in order. Just when it looked they had done it, they were forced to cobble together yet another game Tuesday night, needing 5 1/3 innings from their relief corps after starter Reynaldo Lopez was bumped early. It could have been a lot worse, though. Matt Belisle (three innings), Oliver Perez (one inning) and Yusmeiro Petit (1 1/3 innings) joined forces to get the staff through what wound up an 8-1...

Lopez reverts to earlier form in 8-1 loss to Orioles

Lopez reverts to earlier form in 8-1 loss to Orioles
BALTIMORE - There's no denying Reynaldo Lopez's electric stuff, and that stuff's ability to be successful against big league hitters. But at the moment, there's also no denying Lopez's inability to have success against anybody other than the worst team in baseball. The Nationals rookie has now made five major league starts. He's 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Braves, a team currently on pace to lose 104 games. And he's 0-2 with a 10.32 ERA against the Dodgers, Giants and Orioles, all...

Only replay can catch Turner trying to steal (Nats lose 8-1)

Only replay can catch Turner trying to steal (Nats lose 8-1)
BALTIMORE - Apparently, the only way Trea Turner can be called out trying to steal a base is via slow motion replay. Turner twice tonight has had stolen bases wiped out by replay challenges, a pair of disappointing outs that have contributed to snuffing out potential Nationals rallies and helped leave them in an early deficit against the Orioles. Turner led off the game with an infield single against Kevin Gausman and then stole second, setting the table nicely for the Nationals out of the...

Ross throws off mound, ready to ramp up workload again

Ross throws off mound, ready to ramp up workload again
BALTIMORE - Joe Ross threw off a bullpen mound today, the right-hander's first such throwing session in three weeks, and finally appears ready to ramp up his rehab in an attempt to rejoin the Nationals' rotation for the stretch run. Ross, out since July 3 with right shoulder inflammation, threw roughly 25-to-30 pitches off the mound in the visitors' bullpen at Camden Yards this afternoon and was admittedly "excited" about how things went. "It feels really good. That's why I'm pretty...

BALTIMORE - It's another beautiful day here at Camden Yards, a far cry from the heat and humidity everyone has been dealing with for weeks. The Nationals and Orioles return for the second of their four head-to-head games this week, the Nats needing a win tonight to even up the series after last night's 4-3 loss. Reynaldo Lopez gets the start, and if the rookie pitches anything like he did his last two times out, the Nationals will like their chances. Those starts, of course, both came against...
