The cases for and against recalling Lucas Giolito to face Mets
MILWAUKEE - Dusty Baker said the Nationals will dip into their minor leagues to find a starting pitcher for Tuesday night's home game against the Mets. Since news broke that the Nats would need a starter Tuesday night, social media has been buzzing about the possibility that the hometown fans would get to see right-hander Lucas Giolito, the team's top pitching prospect, make his major league debut. Right now, it appears either Giolito, who is pitching for Double-A Harrisburg, or right-hander...

Strasburg on injury and treatment, Baker on pitching plans vs. Mets

Strasburg on injury and treatment, Baker on pitching plans vs. Mets
MILWAUKEE - Stephen Strasburg has spent more time with the chiropractor over the past week than he has on the mound. The right-hander didn't want to go on the disabled list after a recurring upper back strain twice forced him to be scratched from scheduled starts, but he understands why the DL move was necessary. "Goal No. 1 is to figure out what it is and what's causing it and get back here as soon as I can," Strasburg said in the Nationals clubhouse after Sunday's 3-2 victory over the...

Nats halt seven-game skid in finale, but it wasn't easy

Nats halt seven-game skid in finale, but it wasn't easy
MILWAUKEE - Ending a seven-game losing streak proved just as daunting a task for the Nationals as the difficult path that saddled them with a season-worst skid in the first place. But a 3-2 win over the Brewers on Sunday assured the Nationals of going home for a key series against the Mets with some positive vibes on their side. But to get there, the Nationals had to turn to an emergency starting pitcher who cut short a Saturday bullpen session at 38 pitches when he found out he'd be needed in...

Losing streak ends with 3-2 Nats win

Losing streak ends with 3-2 Nats win
MILWAUKEE - Tanner Roark is through three scoreless innings against the Brewers. Now if only the offense could do something to help the right-hander. Roark has allowed one hit - Jonathan Lucroy's leadoff single in the second - walked one and struck out three. Jonathan Villar drew a leadoff walk in the first, but was erased trying to steal on a strong throw from catcher Jose Lobaton. The Nationals are still searching for their first hit. Ben Revere's sharp two-out grounder to second could have...

Who pitches against Mets? (Strasburg placed on DL)
MILWAUKEE - When the Nationals scratched right-hander Stephen Strasburg from today's start with a recurrence of his upper back strain and decided to start righty Tanner Roark instead, it threw their rotation for this week's key home series against the Mets into disarray. Instead of starting Roark, then right-handers Joe Ross and Max Scherzer against their division rivals, the Nats are now reassessing their options. They haven't yet announced starters for the series, which begins Monday night...

Game 76 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals will turn to Tanner Roark to halt a season-high seven-game losing streak today, while awaiting further word on the upper back strain that caused scheduled starter Stephen Strasburg to be scratched from his second assignment in a week. The current skid is the Nats' longest since 2009. A 2-7 road trip isn't what they expected when this trek began 10 days ago in San Diego. Roark has worked at least six innings in six of his past seven starts, so the right-hander should...

How Dusty Baker, Nats are dealing with disappointing skid

How Dusty Baker, Nats are dealing with disappointing skid
MILWAUKEE - A couple of hours before Saturday's game - a loss that extended their losing streak to seven games, a season high - the Nationals were sitting at their lockers in the visiting clubhouse at Miller Park, several players nodding their heads and silently mouthing the words to the pulsating beat of a rap tune that was blaring from the speaker in the center of the room. All of a sudden, the music stopped, and a few seconds later, it was replaced by a jaunty country tune. As players...

Skid hits seven games, Strasburg scratched from Sunday start
MILWAUKEE - Just when it felt like the Nationals had absorbed all the frustration they could stomach in one disappointing day - after the Brewers had handed them a 6-5 loss, stretching their season-worst losing streak to seven games - fate delivered a parting gut punch. Stephen Strasburg felt a recurrence of his upper back issue when throwing this afternoon and has been scratched from Sunday's scheduled start, manager Dusty Baker said as he closed his postgame press briefing. Tanner Roark will...

Brewers knock Gonzalez out after three innings, Nats fall 6-5

Brewers knock Gonzalez out after three innings, Nats fall 6-5
MILWAUKEE - Gio Gonzalez usually has good first innings. So today's opening-inning effort by the struggling left-hander was a little out of the ordinary. Or was it, considering that the Nationals are mired in a six-game losing streak. Gonzalez, who has posted a 2.57 first-inning ERA in his previous 14 starts this season, trailed 3-0 after facing five batters. He surrendered an infield single to Jonathan Villar and a single to left by Aaron Hill before getting two outs. On the verge of getting...

Bullpen session has Papelbon hopeful of midweek return from DL

Bullpen session has Papelbon hopeful of midweek return from DL
MILWAUKEE - Jonathan Papelbon is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list on June 29, and with a little luck, the Nationals could have their closer back by the middle of next week. Papelbon, who has been on the DL with a right intercostal strain since June 15, threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Saturday afternoon, the first time he's thrown off a mound since being sidelined. Previously, he'd been limited to work on flat ground. "The ball was flying everywhere, but I felt really good,"...

Game 75 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals' losing streak has reached a season-worst six games, and the pitcher they turn to in hopes of halting it this afternoon hasn't won a game in his past six starts. But there is cause for hope. Since beating the Mets at Citi Field on May 18, left-hander Gio Gonzalez is 0-5. He's failed to get to the sixth inning three times in that span, most recently June 19 in San Diego when he gave up six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings. Today,...

Ramos' hot stick has earned trust of Nationals clubhouse

Ramos' hot stick has earned trust of Nationals clubhouse
MILWAUKEE - As Wilson Ramos keeps chugging along, ripping hit after hit with an authoritative bat, he's pushing an indicator within the Nationals clubhouse to previously unseen heights. A .341/.385/.567 slash line - boosted again after a 4-for-5 night in a 5-3 loss to the Brewers on Friday - is only part of the story. During June, when he's hitting .371 in 19 games while starting exclusively in the fourth, fifth and sixth spots in the lineup, Ramos has done a good job of gaining his...
