Game 89 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 89 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - It's another gray afternoon here at Citi Field, with a chance for more rain late tonight. Hopefully that doesn't impact the third game of this weekend's series between the Nationals and Mets, though with our luck lately don't be surprised if it does. On the heels of a 3-1 victory last night behind Stephen Strasburg, the Nationals send co-ace Max Scherzer to the mound tonight, looking to expand their lead in the division to five games. Scherzer, named Strasburg's All-Star...

Filling in for injured Zimmerman, Robinson homers again

Filling in for injured Zimmerman, Robinson homers again
NEW YORK - A starting pitcher's win-loss record is a reflection not only of his own individual performance but also of his team's performance, and so Stephen Strasburg could not have improved to 12-0 last night without the help of some other members of the Nationals who made their 3-1 victory over the Mets possible. Like Clint Robinson, who for the second straight night started at first base in place of the injured Ryan Zimmerman and for the second straight night homered. Robinson took...

Now 12-0, Stephen Strasburg on historic run for Nationals

Now 12-0, Stephen Strasburg on historic run for Nationals
NEW YORK - There was the no-hit streak, which extended a full 10 2/3 innings between two starts before Asdrubal Cabrera homered in the bottom of the fifth. And there is the record, now 12-0 heading into the All-Star break. For Dusty Baker, though, the most impressive thing Stephen Strasburg did tonight during the Nationals' 3-1 win over the Mets came in the bottom of the seventh, his final inning of the game. Facing potential disaster after walking Brandon Nimmo with two outs on a questionable...

Strasburg dominates again as Nationals top Mets 3-1

Strasburg dominates again as Nationals top Mets 3-1
NEW YORK - Stephen Strasburg may not be pitching in next week's All-Star Game as a precaution for the back injury that sidelined him late last month, but the right-hander sure looks healthy and dominant when he does take the mound these days. On the heels of his 6 2/3-innings of no-hit ball against the Reds on Sunday, Strasburg picked up right where he left off tonight against the Mets, tossing seven innings of two-hit ball to lead the Nationals to a much-needed, 3-1 victory at Citi...

Rizzo, Baker on today's roster moves (Nationals win 3-1)

Rizzo, Baker on today's roster moves (Nationals win 3-1)
NEW YORK - Trea Turner's second stint on the Nationals roster this season will last longer than his first. There's no guarantee he'll get considerably more playing time, though. Promoted from Triple-A Syracuse along with Michael A. Taylor to replace the injured Ryan Zimmerman and just-demoted Lucas Giolito, Turner will give manager Dusty Baker plenty of options, particularly now that he has begun working in center field. But Baker suggested today he'll still pick his spots for using Turner,...

Rizzo acknowledges confrontation with umpires

Rizzo acknowledges confrontation with umpires
NEW YORK - General manager Mike Rizzo confirmed his confrontation with members of last night's umpiring crew following the Nationals' 9-7 loss to the Mets, calling it "unfortunate" but more a reflection of frustration over the inconsistent implementation of Major League Baseball's new takeout slide rule than the specific call that went against his club in the top of the ninth inning. According to a New York Daily News reporter who witnessed the confrontation outside the umpires' clubhouse...

Scherzer to replace Strasburg on NL All-Star team

Scherzer to replace Strasburg on NL All-Star team
NEW YORK - Max Scherzer is an All-Star again after Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals decided to keep him out of the game out of caution for his recent back injury. Strasburg was officially taken off the active All-Star roster today, a decision he and the club made together in response to the upper back strain that he only returned to the mound from earlier this week. Needing to name a replacement on the National League roster, Mets manager Terry Collins selected the Nats' other right-handed...

Game 88 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - It's been a busy day already around here, with the Nationals adding two players to the active roster (Trea Turner, Michael A. Taylor) and removing two players from the active roster (Ryan Zimmerman, Lucas Giolito). Meanwhile on the Mets side, Matt Harvey is definitely having season ending thoracic outlet surgery, and Bartolo Colon is an All-Star. Oh, yeah, there's also a game to be played tonight. And it features Stephen Strasburg versus Noah Syndergaard in a matchup of National...

Turner, Taylor recalled; Zimmerman to DL; Giolito to Syracuse
NEW YORK - The Nationals made a flurry of roster moves this afternoon, promoting both infielder Trea Turner and outfielder Michael A. Taylor from Triple-A Syracuse, placing first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day disabled list with a left ribcage strain and optioning right-hander Lucas Giolito to Syracuse. The moves address the club's most glaring need at the moment: healthy position players to fill out a bench. The Nationals played with a three-man bench during last night's 9-7 loss to...

Nats left frustrated, confused, angered by slide call on Werth

Nats left frustrated, confused, angered by slide call on Werth
NEW YORK - The Nationals have been the beneficiary of baseball's new and controversial slide rule this season, most notably on opening day in Atlanta when Daniel Murphy convinced umpires to rule Nick Markakis out at second base for what looked to the naked eye like a clean slide but in actuality was illegal based on the sport's new rule. Last night, they found themselves victimized by the rule, leading to a combination of frustration, anger and mostly confusion. "It seems like everybody's...

Weary Nationals drop opener of key series vs. Mets

Weary Nationals drop opener of key series vs. Mets
NEW YORK - They took the field with a short bullpen, two of their arms unavailable due to recent heavy work. They had a short bench as well, already a man down because of the addition of another reliever and then down another after Ryan Zimmerman was deemed unable to play due to soreness in an unspecified body part. Then their rookie starter managed to go only 3 2/3 innings, needing 90 pitches on a hot and muggy July night in the big city just to record 11 outs. And all of this came in the...

Nats lose home run derby to Mets, lead down to three games

Nats lose home run derby to Mets, lead down to three games
NEW YORK - The ball flew out of Citi Field tonight like it never had before in the eight-year history of this ballpark. The Nationals and Mets kept trading bombs, each lineup homering four times a piece. In the end, it was the lone home run of the game that came with runners on base that proved the difference: Wilmer Flores' three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth carried the Mets to a wild 9-7 victory on a muggy July evening in Queens. The Nationals got solo homers from Bryce Harper, Clint...

Homers aplenty in Giolito-Colon matchup (Nats lose 9-7)

Homers aplenty in Giolito-Colon matchup (Nats lose 9-7)
NEW YORK - When Lucas Giolito was born unto this world on July 14, 1994, Bartolo Colon already was pitching in rookie ball for the Cleveland Indians. Little could either have known then that nearly 22 years later they'd be taking the mound opposite each other in the same big league game. You'd be hard-pressed to find two major league pitchers with more contrasting styles right now than the 43-year-old Colon and the 21-year-old Giolito. That, along with the massive age disparity, makes...

Zimmerman sidelined with soreness, out for opener vs. Mets
NEW YORK - The absence of Ryan Zimmerman in the Nationals lineup for tonight's series opener against the Mets seemed odd at first glance, given that the struggling first baseman had broken through with a 2-for-3 performance Wednesday that included a home run. Turns out Zimmerman isn't 100 percent healthy. Manager Dusty Baker wouldn't specify what precisely is ailing Zimmerman, but the veteran did do something Wednesday that left him "sore." "He has the day off because he's sore some,"...

Game 87 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - Hello from Citi Field, where the Nationals close out the first half of the season with a big, four-game weekend series against the Mets. They enter tonight's opener holding a four-game lead, so that means things could go in a lot of different directions. A sweep by the Mets would leave the two teams tied; a sweep by the Nats would increase the lead to a commanding eight games. More likely is a series split or somebody taking three-of-four, making the most plausible spread at the...

Wednesday morning Q&A

Wednesday morning Q&A
Well, it's been another eventful week in NatsTown. Danny Espinosa hit five home runs (two of them grand slams) and drove in 17 runs to win National League Player of the Week. Stephen Strasburg returned from the disabled list and threw 6 2/3 innings of no-hit ball. Joe Ross landed on the DL with shoulder inflammation, leaving a spot in the rotation for Lucas Giolito to remain in the big leagues for at least a while longer. Jonathan Papelbon returned from the DL. Michael A. Taylor was demoted...

Nats react to All-Star selections, Harper will sit out Derby again
None of the Nationals' All-Star selections was a particular surprise. Bryce Harper had been in solid position to be voted in as a starter for weeks. Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos looked unlikely to win the fan vote, but were shoo-ins to be selected based on their robust numbers. And Stephen Strasburg, as long as he was healthy, was a safe bet to return to his hometown of San Diego to pitch in the game. But the official announcement of All-Star rosters remains a significant moment for everyone...

Nationals look sluggish again in 5-2 loss to Brewers
Dusty Baker admitted, after the fact, that his Nationals didn't exactly put forth their best effort Monday during the club's annual Independence Day morning game. "Everybody was dragging yesterday with that 11:05 game," the veteran manager said. "I just didn't want to say it." Whatever it was that plagued the Nationals during that uninspired loss to the Brewers sure seemed to still be dogging them tonight during a repeat performance. A tepid offensive attack against right-hander Zach...

The Nationals had been a first-place club on All-Star selection day three times in the last four years, but that didn't always translate into a throng of players actually donning curly W caps at the Midsummer Classic. This year, when the All-Stars gather in San Diego, the Nats will be well-represented in accordance with their place in the standings. The Nationals had four players selected to the All-Star squad this evening, with Bryce Harper again voted by fans as a starting outfielder. Daniel...

Danny Espinosa named NL Player of the Week

Danny Espinosa named NL Player of the Week
Danny Espinosa's remarkable recent performance at the plate has earned him recognition around the baseball world. Espinosa was named National League Player of the Week, a fitting honor for the infielder who put on a prodigious power display over the last seven days. Espinosa hit .423 with five homers and 17 RBIs, most of that coming during the Nationals' four-game series against the Reds. He hit two homers (including a grand slam) and drove in seven runs during Thursday night's win, then...
