Game 71 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles

Game 71 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
It was scorching hot this afternoon ... and then a storm of biblical proportions broke out and doused the entire area. What does that mean for tonight's opener of Part 2 of the Battle of the Beltways at Nationals Park? Stay tuned, but it does appear as though the rain will be clearing out before scheduled first pitch at 7:05 p.m. Assuming that first pitch does happen, it'll be Jefry Rodriguez on the mound making his first career start, his second career major league appearance. The lanky...

Orioles lineup vs. Nationals (Wilkerson selected, Álvarez DFA)

Orioles lineup vs. Nationals (Wilkerson selected, Álvarez DFA)
WASHINGTON - The Orioles made a flurry of roster moves this afternoon before the opening game of their three-game interleague series against the Nationals. The promotion of catcher Caleb Joseph from Triple-A Norfolk was known after the club optioned catcher Chance Sisco to the Tides following Sunday's game. Joseph will be reunited with his brother, Corban Joseph, who joined the Orioles from Double-A Bowie over the weekend. Caleb Joseph is behind the plate and hitting eighth tonight against the...

Game 68 lineups: Nats at Blue Jays

Game 68 lineups: Nats at Blue Jays
TORONTO - It's a glorious Father's Day here in Canada (and, yes, they celebrate it here, too) but it hasn't been a glorious road trip for the Nationals, who have gone 1-3 so far against the Yankees and Blue Jays and have been shut out twice. They'll need to bounce back this afternoon if they want to avoid a weekend sweep at the hands of a sub-.500 opponent. Tanner Roark gets the ball today, and he opened this trip with a quality start at Yankee Stadium, only to be on the wrong end of a 3-0...

Game 67 lineups: Nats at Blue Jays

Game 67 lineups: Nats at Blue Jays
TORONTO - The Nationals' unfamiliarity with Rogers Centre cost them during Friday night's 6-5 loss. Perhaps now that they've experienced this unique ballpark a little bit, they won't be victimized by it in the second game of their weekend series with the Blue Jays. It doesn't hurt, of course, to have Max Scherzer on the mound. The ace has made four prior starts here in his career, and all he's done is go 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA, 32 strikeouts and only five walks. And this was the Detroit...

Game 66 lineups: Nats at Blue Jays
TORONTO - A very pleasant good day to you from Rogers Centre, where the Nationals are making their first appearance since 2012, when their 19-year-old slugger was asked a clown question by a Canadian reporter. What does this weekend have in store for the lads in curly W caps? The Nats face a reeling Blue Jays club that opened the season 13-6 and has since gone 17-32, including a three-game sweep at Tampa Bay to begin this week. They'll hope to take advantage of that, and the generally friendly...

Game 65 lineups: Nats at Yankees

Game 65 lineups: Nats at Yankees
NEW YORK - The Nationals have been shut out in back-to-back games for the 12th time in club history. They've never been shut out in back-to-back-to-back games, so there's the minimum bar for success in tonight's series finale at Yankee Stadium. After flailing away at C.C. Sabathia and three Yankees relievers Tuesday night, the Nats will get a shot tonight at right-hander Sonny Gray, who enters with a 4.81 ERA but has allowed only one run over his last 14 innings. Daniel Murphy, who was...

Game 64 lineups: Nats at Yankees
NEW YORK - Hello from Yankee Stadium, where the Nationals face the best team in baseball the next two nights and will take that team on with their best hitter in the lineup for the first time this season. Yes, Daniel Murphy has been activated off the disabled list and is making his 2018 debut at long last, nearly eight months removed from microfracture surgery on his right knee. Murphy's return - not to mention Adam Eaton, as well - gives the Nationals lineup a whole new look, certainly a more...

Game 63 lineups: Nats vs. Giants

Game 63 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
The Nationals usually play Sunday home games at 1:35 p.m. Except for the day after their annual Dream Foundation Gala. Wanting to give everyone some extra time to, uh, recover from that evening event, they push back the following day's game until 4:05 p.m. It makes sense. Except on a day like today, when the skies are forecasted to be dry early in the afternoon before turning ominous late in the afternoon. Oh well, nothing they can do about that now but wait and see how the weather turns out...

Game 61 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
So, there's a sporting event taking place tonight in Washington. It's not as big as some other sporting events that have been going on in town of late. But it's not bad, either, with the first-place Nationals hosting the Giants in the opener of a three-game weekend series, one that could feature a cameo appearance by Lord Stanley himself at some point. Stephen Strasburg gets the ball for tonight's game, and surprisingly it's his first start against the Giants in two years. He'll have the...

Game 60 lineups: Nats vs. Rays
The Nationals are going to face something different today in their series finale against Tampa Bay. The Rays aren't sending a starter to the mound for the bottom of the first. They're sending an "opener." That would be Jonny Venters, a reliever who actually will start the game and pitch one or two innings before manager Kevin Cash then summons Ryan Yarbrough (a starter who will pitch five-plus innings of relief). This isn't exactly sweeping the nation, but the rest of the baseball world...

Game 59 lineups: Nats vs. Rays
The Nationals are back in town, albeit only for five games this week, beginning with a quick two-game interleague series against the Rays. Who, yes, are featuring cleanup-hitting catcher Wilson Ramos in The Buffalo's return to D.C. for the first time as a visiting player. Here's hoping he gets a nice ovation from the crowd. Matt Adams is back in the Nationals' lineup, batting cleanup, after missing one game from a bruised right foot. For everyone who has seen those things take much longer to...

Game 58 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 58 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - It's another scorching hot and humid day here at SunTrust Park, where the Nationals and Braves wrap up their four-game series, the Nats trying to salvage a split after yesterday's dramatic 14-inning victory. To do so, they're probably going to need some effective work from their bullpen again today, though that group was taxed yesterday and has a new face in it today. Tim Collins, who did not appear in the game, has been placed on the paternity leave list and has left town to be...

Game 57 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals have scored two runs in this series and have been shut out on four total hits over the last 15 innings. That's not good. This is a lineup that, given the injuries and young players filling in on a regular basis, has been very hit-or-miss over the last month. It'll need to swing back into the hit category today if these guys want to avoid a third straight loss to the first-place Braves. On paper, the matchup against Brandon McCarthy looks like a better one for the...

ATLANTA - The threat of rain halted Nationals batting practice Thursday night but didn't impact the game. We may not be as fortunate tonight, with storms all around the area threatening to cause problems not only before tonight's scheduled 7:35 p.m. game but also the early portion of the game itself. As always, stay tuned. When they do play, the Nationals will send Stephen Strasburg to the mound. Strasburg was brilliant in his previous start against the Braves this season, tossing eight...

Game 55 lineups: Nats at Braves (Madson activated)
ATLANTA - And a very pleasant good afternoon to you from SunTrust Park, here in beautiful unincorporated Atlanta. The hometown Braves have been among the biggest surprises in baseball so far, with the youngest roster in the sport playing an exciting brand of ball and (until last night) holding first place in the National League East division. That changed last night when the Nationals finished off their sweep of the Orioles and the Braves lost to the Mets, but that doesn't make this weekend's...

Game 53 lineups: Nats at Orioles

Game 53 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - Jeremy Hellickson's two months as an Oriole late last summer were, to put it bluntly, not good. You can't sugarcoat a 6.97 ERA in 10 starts. Hellickson's first two months as a National, however, have been nothing short of brilliant. You can't describe a 2.13 ERA in seven starts any other way. Tonight, Hellickson gets a chance to show Baltimore how far he's come. Which isn't to say another dominant start is a given. This is a hitter's ballpark, and especially so with the...

BALTIMORE - No, it's not the most important sporting event today involving a team from Washington, but it's still the first game of this year's Battle of the Beltways, and that's not bad. The Nationals and Orioles renew their annual interleague rivalry this afternoon under gray (and surprisingly chilly) skies, and these two franchises are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum right now. The Nats are feeling good about themselves after a weekend sweep in Miami that leaves them one game...

Game 49 lineups: Nats at Marlins (Justin Miller called up)
MIAMI - The Nationals have selected the contract of right-hander Justin Miller, who has pitched for the Tigers and the Rockies but hasn't been in the majors since 2016. He takes the roster spot vacated by right-hander Erick Fedde, who was sent back to Triple-A Syracuse following his start Wednesday against the Padres. Miller, 30, is 6-foot-3, 215 lbs., and his best season was 2015, when he went 3-3 with one save and a 4.05 ERA in 34 games with the Rockies. He struck out 38 in 33 1/3 innings of...

Game 47 lineups: Nats vs. Padres
Don't shoot the messenger here, but I feel obligated to inform you that there's a line of thunderstorms approaching from the west as we speak, and so there's a chance tonight's game is going to be impacted. Doesn't appear like this is going to be a complete washout, but the start could be delayed, depending on the timing of this whole thing. Assuming they do play, though, Jeremy Hellickson will be on the mound seeking to duplicate his dominant performance against the Padres from two weeks...

Game 46 lineups: Nats vs. Padres (Collins joins bullpen)

Game 46 lineups: Nats vs. Padres (Collins joins bullpen)
The Nationals said Juan Soto would play. And play he will. The 19-year-old slugging sensation is making his first MLB start this evening, batting sixth and playing left field even against Padres left-hander Robbie Erlin. Davey Martinez held the kid out of Sunday's lineup against another lefty, Alex Wood, but the book on Soto is that he can handle left-handed pitching, so he's about to get his first taste of it tonight. Soto slots into a Nationals lineup ravaged by injuries, batting behind...
