Game 79 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 79 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - The last time Patrick Corbin faced the Marlins ... well, he put forth his best performance of the season. Corbin shut out Miami on 116 pitches May 25 in D.C., a four-hitter that served as the high point for his debut season with the Nationals. It was followed, of course, by three straight subpar outings, which prompted some concern about the left-hander. Until he bounced back in a big way last week against the Phillies, allowing one run and four hits over seven innings. So Corbin should...

Game 78 lineups: Nats at Marlins (roster moves announced)

Game 78 lineups: Nats at Marlins (roster moves announced)
MIAMI - There isn't nearly the kind of buzz surrounding the Nationals' upcoming week as there was for the last one, but that doesn't mean this isn't an important road trip for the team. It also doesn't mean it's going to be an easy one. Though the Marlins own the National League's worst record, they're playing a whole lot better right now than they were to begin the season. After opening up a dreadful 10-31, they've gone 20-15 since May 17, and they'll ride a four-game winning streak...

Game 77 lineups: Nats vs. Braves (Rosenthal released)

Game 77 lineups: Nats vs. Braves (Rosenthal released)
This critical week had been going about as well as possible for the Nationals. They swept the Phillies. They won Friday night's opener against the Braves in exciting fashion. And then ... well, Saturday night's 13-9 loss - which saw the bullpen blow a pair of late leads - obviously put a big damper on the week and suddenly put more weight on today's finale at Nationals Park. A win today and the Nats would still going 5-1 against two division rivals and make a real statement that they're...

Game 75 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Game 75 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
This week's series against the Phillies was big. This weekend's series against the Braves might be even bigger. The Nationals are feeling good about themselves after sweeping Philadelphia and winning 17 of 24. But now they face the hottest team in the majors, the one now comfortably in first place in the National League East. The good news: The Nats are 2-0 against the Braves this season, having swept a quick series at SunTrust Park three weeks ago. But they're facing a bit of a different...

Game 74 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies

Game 74 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
The Nationals have swept a couple of two-game series this season, but they've yet to sweep a three-game series. This wouldn't be a bad time to break through that barrier, would it? After taking both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader, the Nats now have a chance with a win tonight over the Phillies to sweep the three-game set (condensed from the original four-game plan). They're sending Erick Fedde to the mound instead of Stephen Strasburg, who initially was scheduled to start tonight but was...

Game 73 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
They got through the opener of today's doubleheader without incident, the skies remaining clear and the field dry throughout the Nationals' 6-2 win over the Phillies. Now they're hoping for similar good fortune in the nightcap of this day-night doubleheader. The forecast has steadily improved throughout the day, though there does remain a chance of rain later tonight. The Nats are confident enough in the forecast to send Max Scherzer to the mound, broken nose, black eye and all. Talk about...

Game 72 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies (take three)

Game 72 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies (take three)
Hey, let's give this another try, shall we? After waiting out Monday night's rain only to postpone the game, then after waiting out Tuesday night's rain only to postpone the game, the Nationals and Phillies are theoretically going to play a day-night doubleheader today. I say theoretically, because today's forecast is even worse, and it's going to be this way all day and all night. But they have to at least give it a shot, so first pitch of Game 1 is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. Patrick Corbin...

Orioles and Athletics lineups

Orioles and Athletics lineups
The Orioles will try to break a six-game losing streak tonight with Hanser Alberto serving as the designated hitter and Renato Núñez playing first base while the Athletics start left-hander Brett Anderson. Rio Ruiz is playing third base. Pedro Severino is catching. Alberto leads the majors with a .432 average against left-handers. Severino has posted a .340 average. Gabriel Ynoa has allowed three earned runs or fewer in his four starts, though he's exceeded five innings only once. He's...

Game 72 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies (take two)
There is at least a 40 percent chance of rain in Washington every hour between 7 p.m. tonight and 11 p.m. Wednesday. The Nationals and Phillies, of course, are attempting to play three ballgames during that window. We'll see how that all works out. For now, we'll just focus on trying to get one game played tonight. The long-awaited series opener between these teams features the same lineups and pitching matchup that were intended to be used last night. That means Patrick Corbin again will...

Game 72 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
The last time the Phillies were in D.C., the story was all Bryce Harper all the time. Harper's first series at Nationals Park as a visiting player was a major event, and the negative reception he got from Nats fans made for quite a scene. Now as Harper returns for the second of three trips to Washington this season, the focus seemingly has shifted away from the slugger and toward these two teams as a whole. This is a big series, no matter Harper's presence. Fans may continue to boo him, but...

Game 71 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks

Game 71 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
Too often this season, the Nationals have found themselves needing to win a series finale simply to avoid getting swept or to salvage a split. If it feels like this team has been playing catch-up for 2 1/2 months now, it's because that's exactly what it has been doing. So today's scenario is a familiar one: The Nats need to beat the Diamondbacks just to salvage a four-game series split, all this before opening up a huge week with the Phillies and Braves coming to town. It'll be Aníbal...

Game 70 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
The Nationals don't often oversell injuries, but it looks like perhaps they did with Matt Adams this week. When Adams departed Monday night's game in Chicago with an oblique strain, manager Davey Martinez admitted he was concerned. And the club considered placing the big slugger on the injured list. But they decided to hold off for a couple of days and see if Adams responded well to treatment, and sure enough he was able to pinch-hit Friday night and now is back in the lineup this...

Game 69 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
Nationals catcher Yan Gomes has not been able to get in a consistent groove at the plate this season, slashing .229/.302/.621 in 44 games. But in the last 15 games, he has made a steady climb, hitting .250 with 13 hits, four walks and eight RBIs. Manager Davey Martinez said saw an uptick in Gomes' success with the bat during the last road swing, but knows the importance of the former Indians backstop has been his work with the pitching staff. "We say he is struggling, but he is actually...

Game 68 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks
The Nationals are back in D.C. to begin their longest homestand of the summer. These 11 games over the next two weeks will go a long way in setting up how big a mountain the club will need to climb in the National League East as the All-Star break approaches. Even with Tuesday's 7-5 loss at Chicago, the Nats have won 12 of their last 17 games and sit 7 1/2 games behind the division's new leader, the Atlanta Braves. After a 3-3 road trip, the Nats (31-36) begin a four-game set against the...

Game 67 lineups: Nats at White Sox

Game 67 lineups: Nats at White Sox
CHICAGO - Matt Adams has been a big part of the Nationals resurgent lineup, which has scored an MLB-high 6.44 runs per game since May 24, so his potential loss from an oblique strain wouldn't be ideal. That said, with Howie Kendrick and Brian Dozier both red-hot at the moment, there's room for both to start on the right side of the infield most days. And Ryan Zimmerman appears to be inching closer to a return himself. So the Nats might not suffer too much if Adams ends up on the injured list...

Game 66 lineups: Nats at White Sox
CHICAGO - Good afternoon from whatever this stadium is called these days. To me, it'll always be Comiskey Park. Or, actually, New Comiskey Park, since the original one was across the street. The Nationals make their third-ever trip here to the South Side, having won two of three both in 2011 ("The John McLaren Series") and in 2016 ("The Beat Up on Mat Latos and James Shields Series"). This is a different White Sox team, but just as they did last week in D.C., the Nats do catch a bit of a...

Game 65 lineups: Nats at Padres
SAN DIEGO - It's another picture-perfect day here. Too bad we have to leave after today's series finale at Petco Park. The Nationals will hope to leave on a high note with back-to-back victories and a four-game split with the Padres. To do that, they'll need a big start out of Stephen Strasburg in his hometown and some sustained offense against a conga line of San Diego relievers. Strasburg notched his 100th career win his last time out, but it was actually one of his worst performances of...

Game 64 lineups: Nats at Padres (Rosenthal activated)
SAN DIEGO - After a couple of gloomy evenings to begin the weekend, the sun has finally come out and it's a beautiful day here. Maybe that's a good omen for the Nationals, who had to be feeling a bit gloomy themselves after Friday night's walk-off loss to the Padres. Things can only get sunnier from here, right? Here's reason for the Nationals to feel upbeat: Max Scherzer is on the mound tonight. That certainly doesn't guarantee victory, as we've seen too many times this season. But...

Game 63 lineups: Nats at Padres

Game 63 lineups: Nats at Padres
SAN DIEGO - The Nationals have been a much more productive team against left-handers this season than right-handers. Against lefties, they're batting a collective .287 with an .851 OPS, both second-best in the National League (behind the Diamondbacks). Against righties, they're batting a collective .237 with a .710 OPS, both 12th in the NL (behind a whole bunch of teams). So this weekend's series against the Padres, who are starting at least three lefties (Saturday's starter is still TBA),...

SAN DIEGO - It's an overcast, cool afternoon here at Petco Park, kind of a disappointment for anyone expecting fun in the sun on this road trip. Then again, give me a cool marine layer over East Coast humidity any day of the week. The Nationals, on the heels of an oh-so-brief, two-game homestand (and sweep) against the White Sox, are back on the road. They've got four games against the Padres this weekend, then head to Chicago for a return two-day gig with the White Sox. And they're feeling...
