Nats helpless against Gausman, swept by Giants (updated)

Nats helpless against Gausman, swept by Giants (updated)
Manager Davey Martinez had hoped the Nationals could use the final game of a West Coast road trip to end a three-game skid, prevent a sweep by the Giants and head into the All-Star break with a little bit of positive momentum. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell Giants right-hander Kevin Gausman, who throttled the Nats in a 3-1 victory that gave his team a sweep of the three-game weekend series. Gausman allowed only four hits through six-plus innings - three of them of the infield variety -...

Cavalli flashes some heat in All-Star Futures Game (updated)

Cavalli flashes some heat in All-Star Futures Game (updated)
Double-A Harrisburg's Cade Cavalli flashed a little of the triple-digit velocity that made him a first-round pick by the Nationals in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft during a one-inning relief stint in Sunday's All-Star Futures Game at Coors Field in Denver. Relieving the Pirates' Quinn Priester to start the fifth inning with his National League team ahead 6-0, Cavalli struck out two and walked two during a 29-pitch inning. He threw 15 pitches for strikes and twice hit 100 mph on the radar...

At break, Martinez chooses to see positive possibilities for Nats

At break, Martinez chooses to see positive possibilities for Nats
Ever the optimist, Nationals manager Davey Martinez will pause during the All-Star break to take stock of his team. However, he won't spend much time rehashing the injuries that have made roster management a daily challenge, the long stretches of ineffective offense and what might have happened had he had a healthy pitching staff for the season's half. When Martinez says he looks at the present and future, he's not just whistling in the wind. That's the only way he's survived a challenging...

Martinez on injuries and another IL move

Martinez on injuries and another IL move
Another day, another roster move for the Nationals. Right-hander Kyle McGowin is going on the 10-day injured list with a right biceps tendinitis, manager Davey Martinez said during his pregame Zoom session with reporters. Andres Machado is being recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take McGowin's roster spot. McGowin left Saturday's game after facing three batters in the sixth inning and working to a 1-1 count against Thairo Estrada. After the 10-4 loss, Martinez said that McGowin had...

Game 89 lineups: Nats at Giants

Game 89 lineups: Nats at Giants
After dropping the first two games of a three-game set at Oracle Park, the Nationals will turn to Erick Fedde (4-5, 4.53ERA) to try to snap a three-game losing streak and end the season's first half on a high note. The right-hander will be making his 13th start of the season and his second since returning from the injured list with an oblique issue. In his first game back from the injury, Fedde struggled through 4 1/3 innings against the Padres at Nationals Park, allowing six runs on eight...

Defense, bounces don't go Lester's way in 10-4 loss (updated)

Defense, bounces don't go Lester's way in 10-4 loss (updated)
In an alternate universe, Jon Lester would have deserved a better fate. The ground balls he induced would have found gloves rather than grass, his fielders wouldn't have betrayed him with clunky defense and he'd have been much more pitch-efficient. Instead, Lester endured a death by a thousand cuts Saturday afternoon, when the Giants both hammered and doinked him with regularity, his defense contributed to five unearned runs on two errors and the southpaw departed after just 2 2/3 innings...

For Scherzer, All-Star nod - even late - is still a big deal

For Scherzer, All-Star nod - even late - is still a big deal
When the call finally came from Major League Baseball on Saturday afternoon, inviting Max Scherzer to his eighth All-Star Game as a replacement player for a pitcher who was throwing Sunday or had to beg off with an injury, the Nationals ace reacted with the glee of a rookie rather than the carefully measured words of a grizzled 14-year veteran. "Just excited. Awesome. Anytime, it's a heck of an accomplishment," Scherzer said in a Zoom call with reporters before Saturday's game against the...

Gomes hits IL, so catching falls to Barrera for now (updated)

Gomes hits IL, so catching falls to Barrera for now (updated)
Catcher Yan Gomes, who was removed in the second inning of Friday night's game against the Giants, is undergoing an MRI this afternoon and the Nationals will wait until the results of that diagnostic test to determine whether Gomes needs to be placed on the injured list, manager Davey Martinez said. "We have nothing yet," Martinez said in his pregame Zoom session with reporters. "He's getting an MRI as we speak, so hopefully he gets back here soon and we know something after the...

Game 88 lineups: Nats at Giants

Game 88 lineups: Nats at Giants
Jon Lester may still be finding his footing in his first season with the Nationals, but history suggests there's ample reason for the left-hander to turn in a steller start when he faces the Giants this afternoon. Sure, Lester (2-3, 5.34 ERA) has gone six innings only twice in 13 starts this season, and his last outing saw the veteran log just 3 1/3 innings against the Padres in San Diego. But Lester has won two of his last three decisions and his career numbers against the Giants are pretty...

Corbin delivers quality, but Nats struggle versus rookie (updated)

Corbin delivers quality, but Nats struggle versus rookie (updated)
Patrick Corbin followed a familiar script, allowing an opponent to take an early lead before settling in to record a quality start. And while the Nationals eventually knotted the score, they did precious little against a 27-year-old rookie making his fourth major league start. Zach Thompson kept the Nats at bay, striking out 11 in six innings, and Jon Berti's tiebreaking solo homer in the fifth inning - the only hit Corbin allowed after the opening frame - gave the Marlins a 3-2 win over the...

Parra continues to carve out niche with Nats
Asking Nationals manager Davey Martinez to pinpoint what he likes most about what Gerardo Parra brings to the club is like asking a parent in a large family which child he loves the most. There's really no answer to the question, but each different facet of Parra's game seems to make Martinez take notice. Though Parra hasn't played regularly since 2018, his last of three seasons with the Rockies, he's figured a way - ways, really - to make clubs make room for him. You need a versatile...
