Game 55 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - It's a beautiful Sunday here in Oakland as the Nationals wrap up their weeklong trip to the Bay Area with one final game against the A's, looking to bounce back from yesterday's loss and win the three-game series before heading down to Los Angeles for the final leg of the road trip. And it's a beautiful day for the Nationals because Bryce Harper is back. Having served his three-game suspension, the young star is active again and back in his customary spot in the lineup....

Game 54 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Nationals proved they could hit the ball out of the Oakland Coliseum at night, when the air is thick and the temperatures drop. Now they'll see if they can do it under theoretically better conditions this afternoon when they face the A's in the second game of their weekend series and attempt to improve to 5-0 on this road trip. Actually, the better indicator of whether the Nats will have a big day at the plate might be the fact that Joe Ross is their starting pitcher...

Game 53 lineups: Nats at Athletics
OAKLAND, Calif. - And a pleasant Friday evening to you all from the - wait, what's this placed called these days? - oh, it's just the Oakland Coliseum. This is only the Nationals' second-ever trip here; they were swept back in May 2014. I wasn't covering that series, so this actually is my first time here since the 2002 playoffs. Let's just say it hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. The Nationals are hoping to bring their winning ways over from the other side of the bay after...

Game 52 lineups: Nats at Giants
SAN FRANCISCO - Things have changed as the Nationals and Giants prepare to play the finale of their series tonight. For one thing, the temperature has warmed up a bit, the clouds have dissipated and it's actually a nice day by the bay. For another, Bryce Harper is suspended and not available to play in any of the next three games. The Nationals will attempt to sweep the series with a diminished lineup. Dusty Baker has bumped Daniel Murphy up to the No. 3 spot, with Ryan Zimmerman remaining in...

Game 51 lineups: Nats at Giants
SAN FRANCISCO - Hello again from AT&T Park, where the Nationals and Giants will play the second game of their series tonight. Whether there's anything in addition to baseball taking place here tonight remains to be seen. With Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland suspended but appealing, both guys are eligible and available to play. And Harper is in the lineup, batting third as always in between Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman. We'll see if Strickland gets into the game out of the Giants...

Game 48 lineups: Nats vs. Padres

Game 48 lineups: Nats vs. Padres
Stop me if you've heard this one before: It's a cloudy day in D.C. with a chance of rain being a factor for this afternoon's game. As always, stay tuned and hope for the best as the Nationals and Padres attempt to start and complete the second game of their weekend series. San Diego native Stephen Strasburg is on the mound for the Nats, making his seventh career start against the favorite team of his childhood, though his first since 2015. Strasburg, not surprisingly, has fared well against...

Game 46 lineups: Nats vs. Mariners

Game 46 lineups: Nats vs. Mariners
A very pleasant good morning to you all. And it most definitely is the morning, with the Nationals and Mariners today wrapping up their series with a 12:05 p.m. first pitch. The start time was bumped up four hours in hopes of getting this one in before the heavy rain arrives later. It's not an ideal scenario, but as Dusty Baker put it: "It beats the alternative." Baker has all of his regulars in the lineup despite the quick turnaround ... aside from Matt Wieters, who understandably won't be...

Game 45 lineups: Nats vs. Mariners

Game 45 lineups: Nats vs. Mariners
Fresh off a 10-1 thumping of the Mariners last night, the Nationals are back at it tonight, looking for another big performance at the plate. Dusty Baker isn't letting up, keeping all his regulars in the lineup against rookie right-hander Sam Gaviglio. Gaviglio, 27, is making only his second career start. He has spent the better part of the last two-plus years at Triple-A, where he sports a 4.38 ERA in 36 games (31 starts). Tanner Roark takes the mound for the Nationals, trying to right his...

Game 44 lineups: Nats vs. Mariners
The Nationals didn't exactly enjoy a successful road trip, losing two of three both in Pittsburgh and Atlanta. They'll hope their fortunes improve this week at home against the Mariners and Padres. Joe Ross has an opportunity to get things started on a positive note, returning from a three-week stint at Triple-A Syracuse to take the mound tonight. We'll see if the right-hander has been able to adjust his arm slot, get better downward movement on his sinker and save enough in the tank to get...

Game 40 lineups: Nats at Pirates
PITTSBURGH - We've got an early getaway day here at PNC Park, with a 12:35 p.m. first pitch on what is going to be a very warm afternoon along the banks of the Allegheny River. The Nationals will be looking to win this series, taking two of three from the Pirates before heading down to Atlanta for a weekend series with the Braves. It's Tanner Roark on the mound, looking to bounce back from a bit of a ragged start against the Phillies. The biggest thing holding Roark back so far this season...

Game 39 lineups: Nats at Pirates
PITTSBURGH - The Nationals look to make it two in a row against the Pirates tonight, though they'll face a stiffer challenge than they did last night, with Jacob Turner on the mound facing Gerrit Cole. Turner makes his second start of the season, his eighth overall appearance. The right-hander has been mostly effective, but he hasn't been stretched out since his six-inning start at Coors Field on April 24, so it's unclear how far he can go tonight. And once he departs, we'll see who's...

Game 38 lineups: Nats at Pirates
PITTSBURGH - Hello from beautiful PNC Park, where the sun is shining and it's going to be very toasty the next three days as the Nationals and Pirates square off. The stakes aren't quite as high for this series as that other series between teams from Washington and Pittsburgh the last couple weeks, but these are important games for the Nats, who are hoping to avoid the kind of late-inning fiascos that were an issue pretty much every single night last week. Stephen Strasburg is on the mound...

Game 37 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
On the heels of another in a growing list of soul-crushing losses suffered so far this season, the Nationals are right back out on the field tonight for the second half of their doubleheader with the Phillies, hoping to salvage one game and win the weekend series. The good news: Max Scherzer is on the mound. To ask for a complete game would be to ask for too much. But to ask for at least seven innings, with the possibility of more if his pitch count isn't bad, is perfectly reasonable right...

Game 36 lineups: Phillies at Nats Game 1 (Werth update)
Still basking in the glow of another Bryce Harper walk-off gem against Philadelphia, the Nationals and Phillies embark on a day-night doubleheader on Mother's Day in the nation's capital. The two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth Saturday night was Harper's second walk-off this season against the Phillies and fifth of his career. Game 1 features left-hander Gio Gonzalez against right-hander Jeremey Hellickson. Manager Dusty Baker has elected to rest left fielder Jayson Werth, who has dealt...

Game 35 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
This turned into a busier Saturday than initially expected, what with the surprise announcement that the Nationals and Bryce Harper have agreed to terms on a contract for 2018, buying out his final year of arbitration for $21.625 million. That agreement, general manager Mike Rizzo said, should give Harper some comfort and peace of mind as he takes the field every day for the rest of this season. That begins tonight when Harper and the Nationals host the Phillies in a series opener that was...

Game 35 lineups: Phillies at Nats
Right-hander Tanner Roark seeks his fourth win in the season as he faces off against the Phillies Friday night. He will be opposed by former Nationals fourth round selection right-hander Nick Pivetta (0-2, 5.40 ERA). Thursday's game against the Orioles was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up June 8. The weather forecast tonight appears to show a good chance of precipitation at scheduled game time. Stay tuned to my Twitter handle (@masnkerr) for updates. Left fielder...

To answer the question you all want answered: I have no idea. It's been raining all day. It's supposed to continue raining through most of the night. The tarp is covering the infield. But no word yet about the status of tonight's series finale between the Nationals and Orioles. As always, stay tuned. As soon as we know anything, you'll know it. Promise. If they play, it'll be A.J. Cole on the mound for the Nationals, trying to keep this potent Orioles lineup in check and give his own...

Game 34 lineups: Nats vs. Orioles
After a couple of frustrating losses in Baltimore, the Nationals now come home for the second half of this year's Battle of the Beltways, hoping to at least salvage a four-game split of the season series with the Orioles (which would match the best they've done against their interleague rivals for the last decade). Stephen Strasburg gets the start tonight, hoping to do what Max Scherzer did last night during a dominant performance. And then Dusty Baker can only hope his lineup scores enough...

Game 33 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - Not that they're in any kind of serious trouble right now, but the Nationals have lost two in a row and certainly would prefer not to extend that streak to three (not to mention drop both games they'll be playing at Camden Yards this season). So there's just a hint of pressure on them tonight to beat the Orioles. The good news: Max Scherzer is on the mound, and he was electric last time out against a tough Diamondbacks lineup. The two-time Cy Young Award winner also has had...

Game 32 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - The Nationals and Orioles don't typically play each other this early in the season. It's usually quite warm and muggy when the Nats make their annual trek to Camden Yards, and it most definitely is not warm nor muggy today. But no matter the temperature, this always remains a great place to hit, and so the majors' most productive lineup should be licking its chops at the prospect of taking some hacks here for the next two nights. The Nationals have Bryce Harper back in the lineup...
