Treinen breaks out changeup to confound Cardinals lefties (Nats win 5-2)

Treinen breaks out changeup to confound Cardinals lefties (Nats win 5-2)
NATIONALS QUICK WRAP Score: Nationals 5, Cardinals 2 Recap: Blake Treinen worked two scoreless innings, retiring all four left-handed hitters he faced and allowing only one hit. The Nationals scored twice in the second off starter Deck McGuire and twice in the third off closer Trevor Rosenthal, and the outbursts came without benefit of an extra-base hit. Right-hander Burke Badenhop was touched for two runs on three hits and a walk in the fifth. Scott Sizemore continues to rake - his...

Namath visits Nats, plus Baker on Treinen, Ramos, Papelbon, Zimmerman

Namath visits Nats, plus Baker on Treinen, Ramos, Papelbon, Zimmerman
JUPITER, Fla. - Dusty Baker was running late for his pregame meeting with the media, though the reason became readily apparent when he ambled down the left field line at Roger Dean Stadium alongside NFL Hall of Famer Joe Namath, another in the seemingly endless string of celebrities the new Nationals manager considers a friend. "I used to go hang in his places in Fort Lauderdale back in the day when I was 19, 20 years old. ... And then him and Dick Allen were from the same area, so they grew...

It's Treinen's turn to make an impression (with lineups)
VIERA, Fla. - The bus is about ready to pull away from Space Coast Stadium, bound for Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter and today's spring training game against the Cardinals. It's the second time this week the Nationals have journeyed south to Palm Beach County, which will be their home next spring if there are no delays in construction at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, but their first game against St. Louis. Don't get too married to that name. Hearing there are naming rights in play here,...

Sammy Solis' escape act earns praise from Dusty Baker

Sammy Solis' escape act earns praise from Dusty Baker
VIERA, Fla. - Sammy Solis couldn't get his fastball down, and in the blink of an eye, he'd loaded the bases. A 6-4 eighth-inning Nationals lead looked precarious, but you'd never know it by what happened next on Saturday afternoon at Space Coast Stadium. The late innings of Grapefruit League games are renowned for strange occurrences. Big leads disappear quicker than pizza at a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party. Veteran pitchers are treated rudely by hitters with dubious pedigrees. Games that...

Zimmermann all business in first start against his former team

Zimmermann all business in first start against his former team
VIERA, Fla. - It was strictly by the luck of the draw that ex-Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann's first start of the Grapefruit League campaign with his new squad came against his former team in the familiar surroundings of Space Coast Stadium. Zimmerman's outing included both the kind of pitch efficiency familiar to Nats fans - he needed only 26 pitches to maneuver through two innings and came out for the third, something unusual in spring training debuts - and an opportunity for the...
