Soto delivers in comeback, Strasburg improves

Soto delivers in comeback, Strasburg improves
For weeks, as their season corkscrewed out of control, manager Davey Martinez has maintained that the Nationals have not quit. Most nights, it seemed like he was damning them with faint praise. Some wondered if he had gotten stuck on that cliché because he repeated it so frequently. On Saturday night - well, early Sunday morning, if you want to be precise - the Nats were finally rewarded for their sticktuitiveness. Juan Soto's two-run bases-loaded single in the eighth inning highlighted a...

Strasburg strong in early going (Nats win 5-4)

Strasburg strong in early going (Nats win 5-4)
Stephen Strasburg has looked both dominant and like he was battling himself tonight. But through four innings, he's yet to allow a run. A seven-pitch first inning was followed by Strasburg striking out the side in the second in a 1-2-3 inning. He allowed a Jonathan Schoop single to lead off the third, but Manny Piña lined into a double play and Chase Anderson grounded to short. The fourth presented some issues for Strasburg, who had major control problems. He fanned Lorenzo Cain swinging,...

Given another shot, Kieboom makes most of opportunity

Given another shot, Kieboom makes most of opportunity
Painted into a corner in May when their lack of catching depth was exposed, the Nationals gave Spencer Kieboom a shot. Suffice it to say that the 27-year-old rookie has seized the opportunity. KIeboom, whose major league experience was limited to a single at-bat (he walked) on the final day of the 2016 season, was pressed into service when starting catcher Matt Wieters was injured and placed on the disabled list on May 11. Pedro Severino took over the regular backstop duties and Kieboom had his...

Hellickson progresses to throwing curveballs (plus other notes)

Hellickson progresses to throwing curveballs (plus other notes)
Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson threw another bullpen session Saturday afternoon, this time integrating his curveball for the first time since going on the disabled list with a right wrist sprain. "Felt good," he said. "Threw about 45, 60 (pitches). I threw some curveballs. It felt fine." Hellickson said after a 30-pitch bullpen Wednesday in Philadelphia that he has shied away from throwing curveballs off the mound because it still hurt to throw the pitch. But he's been throwing a few...

Game 136 lineups: Nats vs. Brewers
The Nationals will send Stephen Strasburg to the hill this evening trying to even up their series with the Brewers and hoping the right-hander can continue to progress after being activated off the disabled list last month. Since returning a month on the DL with a cervical nerve impingement, Strasburg has twice faced the Phillies, working four innings in an 8-7 home win on Aug. 22 and six innings in a 5-3 triumph where he posted his seventh victory on Aug. 27 at Citizens Bank Park (his only win...

Gonzalez, Martinez lament another frustrating start by lefty

Gonzalez, Martinez lament another frustrating start by lefty
PHILADELPHIA - While Davey Martinez keeps insisting that his charges are playing better baseball and control their own fate in the most improbable of postseason runs, one look at Gio Gonzalez in the clubhouse after tonight's 8-6 loss to the Phillies demonstrated how the message isn't always getting through and offsetting a poor performance. Gonzalez walked out of the shower, slowly shuffling to his locker stall to put on his clothes and contemplate another start that got away from him in the...

Homers by Turner, Soto erase Phillies lead (Nats fall 8-6)

Homers by Turner, Soto erase Phillies lead (Nats fall 8-6)
PHILADELPHIA - Nationals lefty Gio Gonzalez was one strike away from getting out of a two-on, one-out jam in the bottom of the second. But he couldn't finish off Phillies pitcher Jake Arrieta, who lined a two-run single to left to give the home team a 2-0 lead. Not to worry, Gonzalez's teammates made sure to pick the southpaw up. The Nationals took full advantage of Arrieta's control issues in the top of the third, sending eight men to the plate and coming away with a 4-2 lead on a pair of...

Holland hits reset button, gets a second chance

Holland hits reset button, gets a second chance
PHILADELPHIA - Greg Holland has waited a while to collect his first save of the season before - but that was early in his career when he wasn't an established closer. So if it took him until August to save a game, it wasn't a big deal. But there was Holland on the Citizens Bank Park mound Tuesday night, the beneficiary of a weird, game-ending double play that culminated in a successful appeal that pinch-runner Vince Velasquez had left second base early on a flyout to center fielder Michael A....

Hellickson focuses on fastballs, changeups in first bullpen session
PHILADELPHIA - Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson threw 30 pitches off a bullpen mound Wednesday afternoon, his first time since going on the disabled list, but didn't test his sprained right wrist by throwing curveballs yet. "It's just like any other thing. You've got to take it slow and listen to what our trainers tell us to do, and it's feeling better every day," said Hellickson, who has been on the DL since Aug. 18, three days after he injured the wrist trying to break his fall during a...

Game 134 lineups: Nats at Phillies
PHILADELPHIA - Gio Gonzalez will take the mound for the finale of a three-game series between Nationals and Phillies. The Nats are going for a sweep of the Phillies and their fourth straight victory. But which version of the erratic left-hander will show up at Citizens Bank Park? In his last outing against the Mets on Aug. 24 at Citi Field, Gonzalez pitched a gem, spinning seven innings of seven-hit, one-run ball without walking a batter. But he took the loss in a 3-0 defeat, falling to 7-11...
