Game 13 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 13 lineups: Nats at Mets
The Nationals' remarkable run to a championship last October was defined by victories away from Washington. The Nats won Game 5 of the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium. They won Games 6 and 7 of the World Series at Minute Maid Park. All told, they went a stunning 8-1 on the road during the postseason, the only loss coming in their first NLDS game in Los Angeles. For whatever reason, this team was really comfortable playing on the road. Which brings us to tonight, when the...

Orioles and Nationals lineups

Orioles and Nationals lineups
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is providing rest for a few of his veterans this afternoon as the team attempts to complete a three-game sweep over the Nationals in D.C. Pat Valaika is the shortstop, with José Iglesias on the bench. Renato Núñez is the first baseman, with Chris Davis on the bench. Bryan Holaday gets his first start behind the plate. Chance Sisco is the designated hitter and Pedro Severino is out of the lineup again after his pinch-hit home run last night. Austin Hays...

Game 12 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Game 12 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
The Nationals must make a quick turnaround as they look to snap a three-game skid and avoid a sweep at the hands of the Orioles with an early Sunday afternoon series finale on the docket today at Nats Park. And the Nats (4-7) could not ask for a better pitcher to be their stopper, right-hander Stephen Strasburg (0-0), making his season debut after recovering from a right wrist injury that scratched his scheduled first start way back on July 25. The Nats need a spark, because at the start of...

Orioles and Nationals lineups

Orioles and Nationals lineups
Chance Sisco is going to catch Thomas Eshelman tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Nationals in D.C. Sisco came off the bench last night in an 11-0 win, but he's behind the plate tonight and Pedro Severino is among the reserves. Hanser Alberto stays in the leadoff spot and Austin Hays remains at the bottom of the lineup. Dwight Smith Jr. is the left fielder again and Chris Davis continues to bat eighth. A lineup very similar to last night. Because it ain't broke. With...

Game 11 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Game 11 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
Nothing went right for the Nationals Friday night during an 11-0 whitewashing at the hands of the Orioles. They can only hope for a better result tonight in the second game of the weekend series. Most of Davey Martinez's lineup remains the same, with two exceptions: Eric Thames is back at first base, because the Nats are facing a right-hander (Thomas Eshelman), and Asdrúbal Cabrera is back at third base instead of Carter Kieboom. That lineup had better have the right approach against...

Orioles and Nationals lineups (updated)

Orioles and Nationals lineups (updated)
Rio Ruiz is back in the Orioles lineup tonight as they open a three-game series against the Nationals in D.C. Ruiz has been on the bench with inflammation in his right shoulder. Austin Hays drops to ninth in the order while Hanser Alberto continues to lead off. José Iglesias is batting third as the shortstop. Pedro Severino is catching tonight and Chris Davis is batting eighth again. Chance Sisco, who isn't in the lineup, has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, a home run and five walks. He's...

Game 10 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
They've had more days off than days on recently, but that changes tonight for the Nationals, who begin a stretch of 13 consecutive days with games on the schedule with the opener of a weekend series against the Orioles. There's still uncertainty about the status of the top two members of the Nats rotation, so that puts some added pressure on the guys beneath them to do their job in the interim. Tonight that responsibility falls upon Aníbal Sánchez, who makes his second start of the...

Orioles and Marlins lineups

Orioles and Marlins lineups
José Iglesias is getting the start at shortstop tonight rather than kept as the designated hitter or a pinch-hitter. Rio Ruiz, however, isn't ready to return to third base while dealing with a sore right shoulder. Ruiz is 7-for-22 (.318) with three home runs and a 1.112 OPS. Iglesias is 11-for-24 (.458) with six doubles and a 1.188 OPS. The Orioles need both of them with their offense in a major funk. An offense that's totaled one run and 10 hits in three losses in the series. Ruiz could...

Game 9 lineups: Nats vs. Mets

Game 9 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Juan Soto last came up to bat in an official major league game 280 days ago. You may or may not remember this, but he actually made the final out of the 2019 season for the Nationals, flying out to center field to end the top of the ninth in Game 7 of the World Series. He, of course, had drawn a critical walk off Zack Greinke in the top of the seventh and then delivered an RBI single in the top of the eighth, so it's not like there was any reason to remember that final at-bat. Tonight, Soto...

Game 8 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The 2020 Major League Baseball season is now 19 days old, and for the first time the Nationals are playing a division opponent. Add that to the list of strange facts about this strange season. After three games with the Yankees and four games with the Blue Jays (followed by three postponed games with the Marlins) the Nats finally face the Mets tonight in the opener of a two-game series between National League East rivals. The Nationals haven't played in five days. The Mets just snapped a...

Orioles and Rays lineups

Orioles and Rays lineups
Chris Davis is out of tonight's lineup, but he's back with the Orioles. Davis confirmed in a Zoom call this afternoon that he had had a low fever due to a sinus infection. He underwent about eight tests for COVID-19 in the past few days that came back negative. Davis is on the bench against Rays left-hander Blake Snell. Shortstop José Iglesias remains day-to-day with a sore left quadriceps muscle. Pat Valaika gets the start at first base tonight and Andrew Velazquez is the shortstop. DJ...

Game 7 lineups: Nats at* Blue Jays

Game 7 lineups: Nats at* Blue Jays
Being the road team has its privileges for the Nationals. In the 2019 World Series, the Nats lost every game at home and won every game at Minute Maid Park. Of course, maybe it's all in your mindset, because the Nats broke their three-game losing streak at home in the Blue Jays' "home opener" Wednesday night, 4-0 in 10 innings. Or maybe it was the navy blue jerseys with the cursive "Nationals" across the front with gray pants. The Nats wore that uniform combination when they won eight...

Game 6 lineups: Nats at* Blue Jays (Kendrick scratched)
Who's ready for some poutine, fastball velocities measured in kph instead of mph and the Nationals wearing their gray coloured pants inside their home ballpark? It's Bizarro World on South Capitol Street for the next two nights. Because the Canadian government won't allow teams to travel in and out of the United States without going through 14-day quarantines, and because the Triple-A stadium in Buffalo won't be up to major league standards for another week, the Blue Jays are forced to play...

Game 5 lineups: Nats vs. Blue Jays

Game 5 lineups: Nats vs. Blue Jays
This has become a recurring theme every day during this unprecedented season: The Nationals spend the morning and afternoon dealing with major news events, then have to actually take the field to play a ballgame in the evening. So far, that has resulted in a 1-3 record. They'll try to flip that back in a more positive direction tonight in the second of four games with the Blue Jays. Austin Voth will try to do what Aníbal Sánchez couldn't do last night: keep Toronto's hitters in the...

Game 4 lineups: Nats vs. Blue Jays
As we're quickly learning, much of the morning and afternoon right now is spent dealing with serious news stories involving people's health, and then the evening arrives and we remember there's a ballgame to be played. Strange times, and I'm not sure we'll ever get used to this daily ritual. The Nationals, after dropping two of three to the Yankees in frustrating fashion, now host the Blue Jays for four games at Nationals Park. Er, sort of. They're hosting the first two games of this...

Game 3 lineups: Nats vs. Yankees
If someone told you neither Juan Soto nor Stephen Strasburg would appear in the Nationals' opening series against the Yankees but they'd still have a chance to win the series, what would you have thought? To their credit, the Nats have given themselves an opportunity to do just that, if they can win this afternoon's finale on South Capitol Street. The good news: They've got Patrick Corbin on the mound to make his first start of 2020. The Syracuse native and childhood Yankees fan broke a lot...

Game 2 lineups: Nats vs. Yankees

Game 2 lineups: Nats vs. Yankees
A lot has happened over the last 72 hours, only some of it having to do with actual baseball. Hopefully, though, baseball takes center stage this evening and remains there for the foreseeable future. If nothing else, the Nationals would love to be able to play a full nine innings for the first time since October. The good news: Tonight's forecast looks much better. There's still a slight chance of storms, but nothing like we saw earlier in the week. Stephen Strasburg was supposed to make his...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups, Hector Velázquez outrighted
The Orioles are opening their season in Boston tonight for the first time since 1966 and they're sending out a lineup that includes Austin Hays leading off and José Iglesias batting third. Iglesias has hit third in two career games before tonight. Anthony Santander is slotted in between Hays and Iglesias. Chris Davis is fifth and Hanser Alberto sixth. DJ Stewart gets the start in left field and is batting ninth. Tommy Milone and Nathan Eovaldi are making their first career opening day...

Game 1 lineups: Nats vs. Yankees
And so it begins. The strangest season in baseball history gets underway with the strangest opening night in baseball history. The defending champion Nationals will raise a flag and a pennant and face the sport's most-storied franchise, even though it comes from the American League. It will be televised nationally, with artificial crowd noise pumped through the otherwise empty stadium's public address system. And the Nationals' star slugger won't be in the lineup after he tested positive...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
It has taken an extraordinarily long time for the Nationals' exhibition finale to arrive. And yet it still feels like it sneaked up on us without notice, doesn't it? Such is life when you've had a four-month hiatus in the middle of the exhibition season, then only three games upon returning to action. This is the last chance the Nats will get, though, before facing the Yankees for real Thursday night. So if there's anyone or anything Davey Martinez still needs to look at before then, this...
