Gonzalez fights through jam in second unscathed (Nats walk off with 5-4 win)

Gonzalez fights through jam in second unscathed (Nats walk off with 5-4 win)
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez has been able to go long into games in his last three starts, totaling 21 2/3 innings. While averaging seven innings in those games, he has allowed the bullpen to enjoy short work and keep it fresh. Gonzalez will look to do that again Sunday against the Brewers. The Nationals are 3-0 in three games Gonzalez has started against Milwaukee. In the first inning, he allowed only a Ryan Braun single and stolen base. But in the second, he battled out of a huge jam to keep...

Gennett and Davis connect off Strasburg again (Nats lose 4-2)

Gennett and Davis connect off Strasburg again (Nats lose 4-2)
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg allowed a grand slam to Scooter Gennett and another home run to Khris Davis on June 25 in a 9-2 Brewers victory over the Nationals. Fast forward to July 18, Strasburg allowed early home runs to Gennett and Davis and the Brewers lead 2-0 over the Nationals after 1 1/2 innings. The Brewers can hit home runs. Six of their starting nine had nine or more home runs this season before first pitch. Now Gennett has eight. The Nationals got called for a peculiar out in...

Strasburg looks to complete sweep in Milwaukee (Brewers win 9-2)

Strasburg looks to complete sweep in Milwaukee (Brewers win 9-2)
The Nationals have recently done an excellent job of getting off to good starts on road trips against first place teams. Two weeks ago, after winning a series in San Diego, the Nationals took on a then 42-21 San Francisco team and won three straight games. This week, facing a 47-30 Milwaukee team, the Nationals won the first two games of the series and held the Brewers to two runs in those games. On Tuesday night, the Nationals won what felt like one of their more significant gut-check...

Zimmermann pitching in his home state against Brewers (Nats win 4-1)
The Nationals are looking to get off to a quick start against the Brewers on Friday night at Miller Park. The Nationals have lost the first game in six straight series dating back to July 8. Washington won the first game of the series against Milwaukee and San Diego at Nationals Park to begin the month of July. Tom Gorzelanny made quick work of the Nationals in the first, getting Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon and Ryan Zimmerman 1-2-3. Gorzelanny and Jordan Zimmermann are quick workers, so the...

Brewers can't touch the Strasburg curve, Nats can't give Strasburg runs (updated)

Brewers can't touch the Strasburg curve, Nats can't give Strasburg runs (updated)
Stephen Strasburg has thrown five scoreless innings tonight, allowing just two hits (one of which came on a blown call at first base) and walking two. He's struck out five Brewers, all five of which have been on the curveball, a pitch that has been truly filthy tonight. Strasburg has dialed the fastball up to 97 mph. He's thrown a few nasty changeups. But it's the curve that's been the money pitch against the Brewers, who had never faced Strasburg prior to tonight. Aramis Ramirez had his...

The sun monster strikes again (Nats win 12-2)

The sun monster strikes again (Nats win 12-2)
The Nationals lost two fly balls in the sun yesterday afternoon, helping the Brewers pick up a 6-2 win at Nats Park. After the game, Bryce Harper said that the "sun monster" got the best of the Nats. Apparently, the sun monster doesn't discriminate, though. It's attacked the Brewers today. With the Nats leading 2-1 today with two outs in the fourth and runners at the corners, Jayson Werth lifted a lazy fly ball to center. Brewers center field Carlos Gomez had plenty of time to track the...

Chien-Ming Wang making first start since June 19

Chien-Ming Wang making first start since June 19
For the first time in over three months, Chien-Ming Wang will start a major league game today. The Nationals will give the ball to their veteran sinkerballer and hope he can cool down a red-hot Brewers lineup. Wang threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, but he hasn't started a game since June 19. Wang battled hamstring and hip injuries this season, and when he has pitched, either at the major league or minor league levels, he...

Nats, Brewers Saturday lineups

Nats, Brewers Saturday lineups
The Nationals will have their regular starters on the field behind Gio Gonzalez this afternoon as the left-hander again tries for his 20th win of the season. Gonzalez got stuck with the loss his last time out, allowing two runs over five innings against the Braves on Sunday night. His record sits at 19-8 entering today, and he still could become the first guy in the majors to hit the 20-win mark. The Nats will face Brewers righty Wily Peralta, who is 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA in four appearances...

Jackson leads by example with eight solid innings

Jackson leads by example with eight solid innings
Edwin Jackson did not join the other four Nationals starters in double-digit wins Friday night. In a heartbreaking 4-2 loss to Milwaukee, Jackson's no decision might have been literally lost in the shuffle. It should not be. Instead, it might be his biggest and most important no-decision of the season for the Nationals. Jackson went eight strong innings, allowing a solo homer to Jonathan Lucroy but virtually nothing else. He walked none, struck out six and gave up only five other...

Should Edwin Jackson pick up the win tonight, the Nationals would have five starters with double-digit win totals. Not too shabby.

Zimmermann goes home (Espinosa back hitting leadoff)
Jordan Zimmermann will take the ball tonight for his 21st start of the season. He'll also take the ball in his home state of Wisconsin for the first time in his major league career. The Auburndale, Wisc., native and former star at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point will face the Brewers tonight as he looks for his eighth win of the season. Zimmermann has been on fire lately, allowing a total of four earned runs over his last six starts. Earlier this week, a reporter asked...

Lineups as Nats prepare to face Gallardo, Brewers
The Nationals open a four-game series in Milwaukee tonight by sending Edwin Jackson to the mound for the 19th time this season. Jackson will look to get his record back to the .500 mark.
