Game 84 lineups: Brewers at Nats

Game 84 lineups: Brewers at Nats
The Nationals now have 50 wins after taking care of the Reds in three of four games. Even with the Mets sweeping the National League-best Cubs in four games, the Nationals still maintain a five game lead in the NL East. Right-hander Max Scherzer gets the rare morning call with his first Independence Day start with the Nationals. Scherzer is 9-5 with a 3.30 ERA. He has a 1-1 record with a 2.89 ERA in five appearance (four starts) against the Brewers. He has 39 strikeouts in 28 innings against...

Orioles want to avoid being swept in Seattle (updated)

Orioles want to avoid being swept in Seattle (updated)
Caleb Joseph is behind the plate today as the Orioles try to avoid being swept in a four-game series in Seattle for the first time since June 2000. Joseph is making his first start since May 30. Starter Ubaldo Jimenez owns a career 3.47 ERA in 40 starts with Joseph catching and a 7.36 ERA in 19 starts with Matt Wieters behind the plate. However, Wieters caught his last two starts that resulted in victories over the Padres. Chris Davis' home run last night was his 182nd with the Orioles, tying...

Orioles and Mariners lineups

Orioles and Mariners lineups
Nolan Reimold gets a start in left field tonight as the Orioles seek to end a two-game losing streak against the Mariners, who start left-hander James Paxton. Even though Paxton has reverse splits - with left-handed batters hitting him better than right-handers - Hyun Soo Kim will start tonight's game on the bench. Joey Rickard is in right field and Mark Trumbo is serving as the designated hitter. Tyler Wilson starts for the Orioles. For the OriolesAdam Jones CFJonathan Schoop 2BManny Machado...

Game 82 lineups: Reds at Nats

Game 82 lineups: Reds at Nats
Welcome to the second half of the season. The Nationals lost seven in a row last week. They now have won six in a row. I know, that's kind of hard to believe. So, tonight's game affords the club an opportunity to win their seventh in a row, which would tie their season-high streak. They enjoyed a seven-game run from April 10-16. The Nats have outscored opponents 39-14 during this recent stretch. Right-hander Joe Ross (7-4, 3.30 ERA) gets the call tonight for the Nats, his first ever...

Game 81 lineups: Nats vs. Reds
It's hard to believe, but we've reached the halfway point of the season. Yes, tonight is Game 81 for the Nationals. So how have they done to date? Well, if they can beat the Reds again tonight, they'll sit at 49-32. Do the math, that's a 98-win pace. Hard to complain much about that, right? Bryce Harper and Ben Revere are back in the lineup after getting last night off, but Wilson Ramos gets to sit this one out, with Jose Lobaton behind the plate catching Tanner Roark. Keep in mind the...

Orioles and Mariners lineups

Orioles and Mariners lineups
If the Orioles can hit one home run tonight at Safeco Field, they will set a new major league record for homers hit in June. The Orioles are currently tied with the 1996 A's, both teams having hit 55 June homers. The Orioles' top seven home run hitters are in tonight's lineup, so that weighs in their favor. So does the fact that Mariners starter Taijuan Walker has allowed 14 homers in 75 2/3 innings. With a right-hander pitching for the Mariners, Hyun Soo Kim starts in left field and bats...

Game 80 lineups: Nats vs. Reds

Game 80 lineups: Nats vs. Reds
After a highly publicized, highly significant series against the division rival Mets that resulted in a sweep, the Nationals now find themselves hosting one of baseball's worst teams this season for the next four nights: the Cincinnati Reds. That, of course, doesn't guarantee anything. The Nats lost two of three at Great American Ball Park last month, and nearly lost the third game before eking out a 10-9 victory. But they'll need to find the same intensity they brought to the Mets series...

Game 79 lineups: Nats at Mets
Three days ago, the Nationals were mired in a seven-game losing streak, unable to drive in a run in a key spot, with a daunting series against the Mets looming. Since then, they have won three games in a row (one over the Brewers, two over the Mets) and tonight they have a chance to sweep their chief division rivals and expand their lead over them to six games. Quite a turn of events, huh? In order to pull it off, Max Scherzer will need to put together a strong start tonight. Or at the very...

Game 78 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
There's nothing quite like a major league debut. Every single one of them, no matter how hyped, is a big deal, literally a once-in-a-lifetime moment for a young man who gets to realize his dream. There are, of course, debuts that are bigger than others, and tonight we will be witnessing one of those when Lucas Giolito takes the mound shortly after 7 p.m. The 21-year-old right-hander may not be pitching tonight with as much hoopla surrounding him as Stephen Strasburg had six years ago, but he...

Game 77 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Why does it feel like it's been ages since the Nationals last played a game here on South Capitol Street? OK, maybe it hasn't been ages in the technical sense, but it has been a full 12 days since Jayson Werth's walk-off single beat the Cubs and sent the Nats out west flying high for the moment. They return now after winning yesterday in Milwaukee to snap a seven-game losing streak, with Stephen Strasburg on the disabled list, a bullpen still trying to cobble things together minus Jonathan...

Game 76 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals will turn to Tanner Roark to halt a season-high seven-game losing streak today, while awaiting further word on the upper back strain that caused scheduled starter Stephen Strasburg to be scratched from his second assignment in a week. The current skid is the Nats' longest since 2009. A 2-7 road trip isn't what they expected when this trek began 10 days ago in San Diego. Roark has worked at least six innings in six of his past seven starts, so the right-hander should...

Game 75 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals' losing streak has reached a season-worst six games, and the pitcher they turn to in hopes of halting it this afternoon hasn't won a game in his past six starts. But there is cause for hope. Since beating the Mets at Citi Field on May 18, left-hander Gio Gonzalez is 0-5. He's failed to get to the sixth inning three times in that span, most recently June 19 in San Diego when he gave up six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings. Today,...

Game 74 lineups: Nats at Brewers
MILWAUKEE - The Nationals continue their 10-game road trip tonight at Miller Park, and send right-hander Max Scherzer to the mound in hopes of snapping out of a season-high five-game losing streak. Scherzer hasn't seen a lot of the Brewers in his career, but has made three starts against them among his four appearances and carries a 1-0 record and 1.64 ERA into tonight's game. Yep, those are numbers that bring hope to a team with a black cloud circling over it. He'll be opposed by...

Game 73 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - The Nationals need a win tonight, plain and simple. They certainly don't want to leave the West Coast on a five-game losing streak before heading to Milwaukee for the weekend. So they'll need a strong offensive performance against 19-year-old phenom Julio Urias, still seeking his first big league victory in his sixth try. The left-hander has electric stuff and hasn't been giving away free passes (he has 22 strikeouts and only three walks in his last three starts), but he also...

Game 72 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - It is a full 20 degrees cooler this afternoon at Dodger Stadium than it was yesterday at this time. Which means it's only in the mid-80s. Still remarkably more comfortable for the second game of this series, which finds the Nationals trying to snap a three-game losing streak. They'll be facing their third straight left-handed starter tonight, this time in the form of Scott Kazmir, who is no Clayton Kershaw, as evidenced by the fact he hasn't lasted more than five innings in any...

Game 71 lineups: Nats at Dodgers (Strasburg scratched)
LOS ANGELES - Hello from the one and only Dodger Stadium, still beautiful after all these years, even when it's 107 degrees. Yes, you read that right. It's 107 degrees as I sit here in the open-air press box preparing tonight's lineups thread. I've been to L.A. in the summer countless times in my life - we used to come here almost every summer when I was a kid - and I cannot ever remember it being anywhere close to this hot. The good news, if there is any: It'll be dropping back down into...
