Game 62 lineups: Nats at Padres

Game 62 lineups: Nats at Padres
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...

Game 61 lineups: Nats vs. White Sox

Game 61 lineups: Nats vs. White Sox
A win today would not only give the Nationals their first four-game winning streak of the season, it would give them a series sweep at home for the first time this year. The Nats have won three straight series. Right-hander Aníbal Sánchez takes the mound for the home team, coming off his best outing of the season. Sánchez came off the injured list after a left hamstring strain on May 29 and threw six innings of one-hit ball at Atlanta, walking one and striking out seven to pick up his...

Game 60 lineups: Nats vs. White Sox
Don't blink or you might miss the Nationals' homestand. Seriously, it's only two games and tomorrow's finale against the White Sox is a matinee. Not sure I can ever remember a homestand that brief. The Nats and White Sox actually will face each other four times over the next week-plus, with a two-game series on the South Side coming up next Monday and Tuesday. So maybe it's better to think of this as a four-game series with a long break (in San Diego) in the middle. Whatever the case,...

Game 59 lineups: Nats at Reds (Rodney inks minors deal)

Game 59 lineups: Nats at Reds (Rodney inks minors deal)
CINCINNATI - The Nationals have agreed to terms on a minor league deal with veteran reliever Fernando Rodney, who began the season with the A's, according to broadcast reports. Rodney will report to Triple-A Fresno. Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio was first to announce the signing. Rodney, 42, struggled to an 0-2 record with a 9.42 ERA in 17 games with the A's, but Oakland manager Bob Melvin believes the hurler still has something left in the tank. "He's still throwing upwards of 95...

Game 57 lineups: Nats at Reds
CINCINNATI - After a day off, the Nationals arrive in Cincinnati for three games in a weekend series at the Great American Ballpark. The Nats swept the Atlanta Braves at SunTrust Park 5-4 and 14-4 to improve to 24-32, and have now won five of their last six games. It is the first time since April 10 the Nats have won two series in a row. At the start of play today, the Nats are nine games in back of the first-place Phillies in the National League East and six games out of a wild-card...

Game 56 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals, as surely you know by now, have not swept a series yet this season. Shoot, they just finally completed their first three-game winning streak last weekend. But if they can beat the Braves again tonight, they will have crossed that off list at last. Yes, it's only a two-game series, but beggars can't be choosers. A win tonight would be no small task. The Nationals would have to win a game started by Aníbal Sánchez, something they've done only twice in nine...

Game 55 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 55 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals have already faced the Mets 13 times this season. They've faced the Phillies eight times. They've faced the Marlins seven times. Tonight, they finally face the Braves for the first of 19 head-to-head matchups this season. And it's only a two-game series before they pack up and leave for Cincinnati. Weird schedule, to say the least. The Braves, seeking back-to-back division titles, got off to a ragged start themselves. And they've had their share of bullpen woes. But...

Orioles and Tigers lineups

Orioles and Tigers lineups
Gabriel Ynoa makes his first start in two years today as the Orioles begin their three-game series against the Tigers at Camden Yards. This could turn into a bullpen game with Ynoa unlikely to work into the later innings. Dan Straily is available in relief and could back him up now that they've switched roles. Ynoa has never faced the Tigers or anyone on the current roster. Trey Mancini starts at first base today. Hanser Alberto is back in the leadoff slot and playing third. Stevie Wilkerson...

Game 54 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
With Sunday's 9-6 win over the Miami Marlins, the Nationals have an opportunity for their first four-game series sweep of the season and their first four-game series winner since May 10-13, 2018 at Arizona. The last four-game sweep at home was April 30-May 3, 2018 over the Pirates. The last time the Nats swept a four-game set versus a divisional opponent was April 11-14, 2016 over the Braves. Outfielder Juan Soto continued his hitting run with another single in the ninth inning Sunday. His...

Game 53 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

Game 53 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
We've wondered countless times this season if the Nationals might be able to build and then sustain some positive momentum. And inevitably the answer has been an emphatic no. So even though they've won two straight over the Marlins, it would be wholly irresponsible to start talking about any kind of positive momentum at this point. However, if the Nats can do today what they haven't been able to do all year - win three consecutive games - perhaps we can finally proclaim momentum to have been...

Game 52 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
Nobody would try to claim the Nationals solved all of their woes last night during a wild 12-10 victory over the Marlins. As Davey Martinez disgruntledly explained afterward, his team still played sloppy in the field and got plenty of shaky work out of its bullpen. So the season is hardly saved. But a win's a win, and the Nationals certainly need all they can get right now. Plus, there are some legitimately encouraging signs. Juan Soto is on a tear, going 15-for-30 with eight extra-base hits....

Game 51 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals are mired in a season-high five-game losing streak and arrive back in D.C. to take on the Marlins, who are enjoying a season-high six-game winning streak. The Nats and the Marlins each have the same number of losses at 31. It is a four-game wraparound series culminating in an afternoon Memorial Day matchup. The Nats will send out right-hander Kyle McGowin (0-0, 6.00 ERA) to face right-hander Pablo Lopez (3-5, 5.06 ERA). This is McGowin's first start with the Nats in 2019. His...

Game 50 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - Quick turnarounds are always tough. Quick turnarounds after devastating losses during agonizing seasons are even tougher. But the Nationals have no choice but to come right back to Citi Field for today's 12:10 p.m. series finale, hoping the result will be different than it was last night. And the night before that. And the night before that. Stephen Strasburg gets the start, and he's been excellent. Over his last six starts, he's got a 2.13 ERA and 0.83 WHIP while averaging more...

Game 49 lineups: Nats at Mets (Adams activated)

Game 49 lineups: Nats at Mets (Adams activated)
NEW YORK - Last year, a matchup between Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom was must-see TV for the implications it had on the Cy Young Award race. This year, it's simply a game both the Nationals and Mets desperately need to win as a team, regardless of the men on the mound. Neither Scherzer nor deGrom is pitching at a Cy Young caliber right now, though you could argue Scherzer would be in the thick of the early race if not for the Nationals' defense and bullpen. (Hence the massive disparity...

Game 48 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals have touted Erick Fedde as a potential long-term piece of their rotation since the day they used a first round pick on him in 2014. The right-hander will get his latest opportunity to prove he's ready for that responsibility tonight when he takes the mound at Citi Field. Pressed into starting duties after Aníbal Sánchez landed on the injured list with a strained hamstring, Fedde makes his first big league start of 2019, the 15th of his career. He has pitched well...

Game 47 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals are by no means in great shape right now, but at least they're not the Mets. New York is a mess at the moment, having lost five straight, with rumors swirling about manager Mickey Callaway's job security. They couldn't even figure out who was going to start tonight. After announcing earlier this afternoon it would be right-hander Drew Gagnon, they pulled that announcement back and instead said it'll be Wilmer Font (who gave up five runs in 2 1/3 innings to the...

Game 45 lineups: Nats vs. Cubs
The Nationals look to bounce back from the series-opening loss to the Cubs on Friday night behind one of their top shutdown starters in Stephen Strasburg. Second baseman Brian Dozier said the Nats cannot let the 14-6 score demoralize them or lessen their drive to play better tonight. It is still just one loss, and the Nats must to turn the page, as the age-old cliché goes. "You have to," Dozier said. "You always do in these type of losses. It got out of hand but at the same time, they...

Game 43 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals haven't won back-to-back games since April 17-18. Today, of course, is May 16. That's a long time to go without winning consecutive games. That's also the last time the Nats won a series (against the Giants). That's a long time to go without winning two of three. Suffice it to say, the Nationals would love to snap both of those streaks this afternoon. If they can beat the Mets, they'll have won back-to-back games and captured the series. In order to do that, they'll need...

Game 42 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Patrick Corbin has already faced the Mets twice this season, and he pitched well enough both times to emerge with a win. The left-hander, alas, did not get credited with a win after either of those starts. So he'll try to get over that hump tonight when he faces New York for the third time in 2019. The Nationals, in a recurring theme, haven't taken full advantage of the performances of their top three starters. Corbin, Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg have combined for a 3.50 ERA in 26...

Game 41 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
There's a ballgame being played tonight in Washington, and that in and of itself is good news for the local club, which last set foot on the turf here 12 days ago. The Nationals have a six-game homestand against the Mets and Cubs, and they'll try to get things off on the right foot tonight against a New York team that has lost 10 of its last 16 and is facing an important week itself. The Nationals lineup is healthier than it was the last time they played here, with Anthony Rendon and Juan...
