Nats open series in Atlanta with Strasburg on hill (plus an honor for LaRoche)

Nats open series in Atlanta with Strasburg on hill (plus an honor for LaRoche)
ATLANTA - The Nationals open their final three-game series at Turner Field - barring an unlikely late-season run by the Braves to secure one of the National League wild cards - with right-hander Stephen Strasburg on the mound. Strasburg hasn't traditionally fared well here - he's 1-3 with a 6.99 ERA in seven career starts. But he'll try for his 12th victory while making his team-high and career-best 32nd start of the season. He'll face righty Ervin Santana. The Nats' magic number stands at...

Zimmermann gets ball in finale against Mets

Zimmermann gets ball in finale against Mets
Jordan Zimmermann gets the ball for the Nationals in this afternoon's finale of a four-game series against the Mets. A win gets the Nats the series victory, and the right-hander hasn't lost since July 11, going 5-0 in the 10 starts since. Against the Mets this season, Zimmermann is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA and the Nats have won all three of his starts. Third baseman Anthony Rendon is 10-for-15 in this series with five runs, a double, two homers and five RBIs. He had three hits in each of the first...

Rendon, Desmond return to lineup for Mets opener (with MLB postseason schedule)

Rendon, Desmond return to lineup for Mets opener (with MLB postseason schedule)
The flu-like symptoms that caused third baseman Anthony Rendon to miss yesterday's game against the Braves are apparently no longer an issue, and he's back in the Nationals lineup for today's opener of a four-game series at Citi Field against the Mets. Ditto for shortstop Ian Desmond, who sat out yesterday's contest after leaving Tuesday's game early with tightness in his back. Tanner Roark (12-10, 2.91 ERA) faces Bartolo Colon (13-11, 3.96 ERA) in a battle of right-handers. For the...

LaRoche returns in finale against Phillies (plus programming reminder)

LaRoche returns in finale against Phillies (plus programming reminder)
PHILADELPHIA - Adam LaRoche is back in the lineup in his normal spots at first base and clean-up for the Nationals in the finale of a three-game against the Phillies. LaRoche was out of last night's starting lineup, getting a rest while he nursed a tight back. Otherwise, the lineup looks very familiar in support of right-hander Doug Fister (12-4, 2.38 ERA) against Philadelphia's Kyle Kendrick (6-11, 4.93 ERA), who owns the National League's worst ERA (6.10) since June 22. A programming...

PHILADELPHIA - Asdrubal Cabrera, who experienced tightness in his side while swinging in yesterday's game, will not be in the starting lineup at second base when the Nationals open a three-game series against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Instead, Danny Espinosa will get the nod at second base. Washington's Tanner Roark (12-7, 2.80 ERA) faces Philadelphia's A.J. Burnett (6-14, 4.42 ERA) in a battle of right-handers. The Nats are seeking their 13th win in 14 games. For the Nationals CF...

Espinosa back at second as Nats open series in Miami
MIAMI - Danny Espinosa went 1-for-4 yesterday in Cincinnati and struck the ball well three times. He's 4-for-14 over the past five games and finally looking like he's pulling out of his offensive funk even though his average remains at .214. He's back at second base tonight as the Nationals open a three-game series against the Marlins. Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann (6-5, 3.20 ERA) opposes Miami righty Nathan Eovaldi (5-6, 4.30 ERA).

Orioles and Yankees lineups
The Orioles close out the first half of the season - as dictated by the All-Star break, not the number of games played - with a weekend series against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Brian Roberts makes his first appearance in Baltimore since leaving as a free agent. He's collected five hits in 16 at-bats against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium. Miguel Gonzalez is 2-2 with a 4.07 ERA in eight career starts against the Yankees. He didn't get a decision on April 9 after allowing three runs in six...

Nats stick with same lineup in finale against Cubs

Nats stick with same lineup in finale against Cubs
You score 13 runs and you don't change much. The Nationals lineup today, with the exception of starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, looks exactly as it did yesterday, when they pounded out a season-high 19 hits in a rout of the Cubs. There's one thing standing between the Nats and a series victory against Chicago: right-hander Jake Arrieta, who has taken a no-hitter at least into the seventh inning in each of his last two starts. On the season, Arrieta is 5-1 with a 1.18 ERA in 11 starts. With...
