Game 24 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 24 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
ST. LOUIS - In their 11-plus seasons of existence, the Nationals have never found themselves in this particular situation: a chance to sweep a series in St. Louis. Shoot, they had only taken two of three once before at either version of Busch Stadium, back in 2007 when Manny Acta's club pulled it off. Today, though, the Nats are in position to do it. They won Friday night's game 5-4. They won yesterday's game 6-1. Now they'll send St. Louis native Max Scherzer to the mound in an attempt to...

Game 23 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 23 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
ST. LOUIS - It's been raining steadily here since late last night, and more is expected later today. But there does appear to be a potential window of opportunity for the Nationals and Cardinals to play the second game of their weekend series, in between the two cycles of precipitation. We'll see. If and when they do play, Joe Ross will be on the mound for the first time in 10 days, his last start having been cut short after only two innings due to a blister on his right middle finger. Rather...

Game 22 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 22 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
ST. LOUIS - Hello from the Gateway City, where the biggest event in town this weekend isn't the Nationals-Cardinals series but the FIRST Championship, a national robotics competition that has left the downtown area overrun with thousands of teenagers who are infinitely smarter than you or I will ever be. While these kids are creating artificially intelligent robots, we're sitting in a ballpark obsessing over the Nats' inability to score a run. Talk about a blow to the ego... But anyway,...

Game 21 lineups: Phillies at Nationals

Game 21 lineups: Phillies at Nationals
The Nationals are looking to snap a three-game losing streak against Philadelphia today as they wrap up their series with the Phillies with an afternoon matchup at Nationals Park. This is also the first time the Nationals have lost two in a row at home this season. Right-hander Tanner Roark (2-2, 2.63 ERA) takes on right-hander Aaron Nola (1-2, 4.50). Roark is 2-5 with a 6.91 ERA in seven games (five starts) in his career against the Phillies. In his career, Roark loves to pitch at home, going...

Game 19 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies

Game 19 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
This should be Joe Ross' turn in the Nationals rotation, but the club decided to be cautious with the young right-hander's blister and skip his turn (made possible by yesterday's off-day). So it'll be Max Scherzer, still on normal rest, taking the mound for tonight's series opener against the Phillies. Scherzer is coming off a ragged start in Miami in which he was tagged for five runs and eight hits in only five innings. Afterward, he described his problem as "not finishing my pitches,"...

Game 18 lineups: Nats vs. Twins

Game 18 lineups: Nats vs. Twins
It's an absolutely gorgeous Sunday here in the District, where the Nationals wrap up their interleague series with the Twins, seeking the weekend sweep and a 14-4 record that would match the 2012 Nats for the best 18-game start in franchise history. Obviously, there's a very long way to go (and much tougher competition to face) but things worked out pretty well after that previous 14-4 start (at least, until October). Stephen Strasburg will be the guy on the mound for this one, looking to...

Game 15 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 15 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Hello one last time from Marlins Park, where the roof actually is open as I type this. (Don't worry, it'll be closed up in time for first pitch at 1:10 p.m. Wouldn't want to play a ballgame in, you know, sunlight, would you?) The Nationals and Marlins wrap up their four-game series, with the Nats looking to win three out of four and improve to a major league-best 12-3. They'll have Max Scherzer on the mound, looking to improve to 3-0 in his first start of the season against Miami....

Game 14 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 14 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Two trends to watch tonight as the Nationals face the Marlins in the third of this four-game series under the roof: Can Joe Ross continue the rotation's dominant start to the season, and can this lineup continue to thrive against left-handed pitching? We'll start with Ross, who has been lights-out through his first two starts of the season (2-0, 0.61 ERA, .160 opponents' batting average). It's easy to forget the right-hander is only 22, with 15 big league starts on his resume,...

Game 13 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - The Nationals tonight find themselves in a position they have not yet faced this season: Trying to halt a losing streak. OK, so it's only a two-game losing streak, but this is new ground for them in 2016. The good news: They've got Stephen Strasburg on the mound and they'll get a rare opportunity to bat against a left-hander. Strasburg is seeking his third victory in as many starts this season, his 11th victory in his last 15 starts dating back to last June. Marlins Park, however,...

Game 12 lineups: Nats at Marlins
MIAMI - Hello from the one and only (and praise the deity of your preference for that) Marlins Park. Baseball's biggest amusement park (albeit one that will be three-quarters empty all night) hosts the Nationals over the next four days to wrap up this season-opening stretch of 15 games against only three opponents (the Braves, Phillies and Marlins). The Nats split their rain-shortened series with Miami at home, and the man on the mound for them tonight will be looking to avenge his loss in the...

Game 10 lineups: Nationals at Phillies

Game 10 lineups: Nationals at Phillies
PHILADELPHIA -- The Nationals have now won six in a row and are off to their best start in franchise history at 8-1 following Friday's 9-1 series-opening win over the Phillies. The previous best starts were 7-2 by the 1974 Montreal Expos and the 1951 Washington Senators. Tonight's second game of the weekend series features right-hander Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.15 ERA) facing right-hander Aaron Nola (0-1, 3.21 ERA). It is Scherzer's third start of the season and seventh all-time against the...

PHILADELPHIA - The Nationals venture on the road for the second time this season, heading up Interstate 95 to face the National League East rival Phillies. It is their first matchup this season. The Nats are off to a great start at 7-1, but the Phillies are doing fairly well, riding good pitching to a 5-5 record. Manager Dusty Baker will start right-hander Joe Ross, who is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA. Tonight marks his first appearance against the Phillies. Ross notched his first win of the season with...

Game 7 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
The Nationals have spent much of the last two weeks shuffling and then reshuffling their rotation, accounting for rainouts, scheduled off-days and other factors. Now they've had to reshuffle it again due to illness. Stephen Strasburg, who was scheduled to start tonight against the Braves, has been scratched because he's not feeling well. So it'll be Tanner Roark instead taking the mound at 7:05 p.m. The good news: Roark is still pitching on five days' rest, so he'll be plenty fresh. The...

Game 3 lineups: Marlins at Nats
And for the first time in 2016 (exhibition games excluded), hello from Nationals Park! The home opener has arrived at last, though this could end up being a long day of waiting around for a game that may or may not be played. I don't know any more than all of you do, but my trusty weather app is showing dry skies until about 6 p.m. So maybe we'll be alright after all. Once they do play, it's Tanner Roark on the mound for the Nationals against the fearsome Giancarlo Stanton and the rest of...

Game 2 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 2 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - Hello again from Turner Field, where tonight the Nationals and Braves wrap up their abbreviated, two-game series to open the season. Odd scheduling for this one, with the 4:10 p.m. start on Monday, then an off-day, then a 7:10 p.m. start tonight. The Nats aren't real happy this is a night game, what with their own home opener scheduled for 4:05 p.m. Thursday. All of this, of course, is weather permitting. Tomorrow's forecast in D.C. looks awful (90 percent chance of rain), so the...

Nationals lineup vs. Twins (with Twins lineup)
The Nationals are stretching in right field, Dusty Baker is about to address the media and fans are already lining up at the center field gates at Nationals Park. Who cares if it's a meaningless exhibition game? It's baseball and that's what counts. We'll have to see if the weather gods will cooperate to allow the first of two exhibition scraps against the Minnesota Twins to be played tonight. Earlier in the week, it was supposed to rain most of today; the current forecast for tonight's...

Bryce Harper returns after violent collision (with lineups)
PHILADELPHIA - Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper returns to the lineup tonight after a brutal collision knocked him out of yesterday's game. Harper ran into Marlins second baseman Derek Dietrich while attempting to make a running turn at the bag on his way to third on Jayson Werth's inning-ending groundout. The violent impact left Harper on his back as Nationals manager Matt Williams and head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz rushed out to tend to him. Harper left the game for precautionary...

Jones sits, but Wieters and Hardy return to Orioles lineup
NEW YORK - Adam Jones, who left yesterday's game with a sore right shoulder, is not in tonight's Orioles lineup against the Yankees. Gerardo Parra will play center field and bat second, with Nolan Reimold leading off and playing left field. Chris Davis moves from first base to right field. As expected, J.J. Hardy will play shortstop. He was activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier this afternoon after missing time with a strained left groin. Matt Wieters, who missed three games with a...

NEW YORK - Catcher Matt Wieters tested his injured left wrist in the batting cage today, but reported that there's still some soreness in the joint, which he hurt in a diving play at first base on Friday night. Wieters isn't in the Orioles lineup today for the opener of a three-game series against the Yankees and doesn't expect to play. Caleb Joseph will catch left-hander Wei-Yin Chen today. Manny Machado is playing shortstop, Jimmy Paredes is the designated hitter and Nolan Reimold is in...
