Game 106 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
With all the attention placed on the trade deadline, the Nationals want to make sure they do not divert from their most important mission this week: accumulate wins and find a way to earn series victories against the Mets and the Reds at home. The two-game series against New York features a night game tonight and a 12:05 p.m. game Wednesday. The Nats also need to end a two-game losing streak. Right-hander Tanner Roark (4-12, 4.55 ERA), is looking to build off his best start of the season, eight...

Braves, Nationals set sights on upending Phillies in NL East

Braves, Nationals set sights on upending Phillies in NL East
As the major league season resumes, the question looms: Can the inconsistent Nationals overtake the Phillies and Braves to win another National League East championship? The Nationals, who have lost in the NL Division Series in four different seasons, will have all they can do to get back to the postseason. They start tonight at home against the Braves. The Nationals, who have been bounced from the postseason in the first round in four different seasons by four different teams, are season...

Opponents enjoy one game as teammates of Max Scherzer (AL wins 8-6 in 10)

Opponents enjoy one game as teammates of Max Scherzer (AL wins 8-6 in 10)
Right-hander Max Scherzer gets the start in tonight's 89th All-Star Game. National League outfielder Christian Yelich, who now plays for the Brewers, is making his initial All-Star appearance. Yelich played five seasons for the Marlins, an NL East team that faced the Nationals 19 times a season. Yelich is very familiar with Scherzer and is excited he gets to play on the same team with the Cy Young winner. "It's nice to have him on the same team for a night, I guess you could say," Yelich...

Roark steadies himself, but Nats offense stymied in 4-2 loss

Roark steadies himself, but Nats offense stymied in 4-2 loss
NEW YORK - Right-hander Tanner Roark struggled early but then settled in to finish five innings Friday night. But the Nationals could not solve right-hander Noah Syndergaard and two relievers in a 4-2 loss at Citi Field. Once again, the Nats fall back to .500, at 47-47. With the Phillies 2-0 shutout of the Marlins, the Nats deficit in the division has reached 6 1/2 games. Roark (3-12) started the game by allowing three consecutive singles. José Bautista's RBI single highlighted a three-run...

Herrera appreciates confidence manager has in him (Nats fall 4-2)

Herrera appreciates confidence manager has in him (Nats fall 4-2)
NEW YORK - Nationals right-handed reliever Kelvin Herrera struggled a bit at the beginning of his appearance late in Thursday's 5-4 win over the New York Mets. Brandon Nimmo hit a ball deep to center field that was caught by Michael A. Taylor. Asdrúbal Cabrera followed with a solo homer to right-center field that cut the Nats' lead down to one run. Herrera then walked the next two batters. With two men on and one away, Herrera focused on throwing strikes. He induced a weak pop out to first...

Game 94 lineups: Nats at Mets (Rendon delivers in NY)

Game 94 lineups: Nats at Mets (Rendon delivers in NY)
NEW YORK - Third baseman Anthony Rendon again reminded fans of his fluid power swing on Thursday, crushing a pair of line drive home runs over the left field wall to help the Nationals take control in a 5-4 win over the Mets. Fans in Flushing are well acquainted with Rendon. In 42 games at Citi Field, Rendon is hitting .302 with 20 runs scored, 11 doubles, 10 homers and 42 RBIs. The modest Rendon said those gaudy numbers at this stadium might be more a product of the frequency of games he has...

Nats ride homers from Rendon and Harper to edge Mets 5-4

Nats ride homers from Rendon and Harper to edge Mets 5-4
NEW YORK - The Nationals got just enough from each facet of their club to eke out a 5-4 series-opening victory against the Mets at Citi Field on Thursday. Anthony Rendon hit two homers, Bryce Harper cranked a moon shot and Max Scherzer allowed only three runs over seven innings to go into the break with a 12-5 record. The Nats improved to 47-46, keeping pace with the Phillies, but are still 5 1/2 games back in the National League East. The Braves had the night off. "I think that's a huge key,...

NEW YORK - A day after the Nationals lost a series in Pittsburgh in a 2-0 shutout at the hands of the Pirates, Nationals manager Davey Martinez spoke about the state of his club, which is back at the .500 mark at 46-46, and what this final series before the All-Star break against the Mets means. "I want them to come out today with a sense of urgency," Martinez said of Thursday's game at Citi Field, the first in a four-game series. "Treat these games - we're going into the All-Star break -...

Reynolds on the anatomy of a comeback

Reynolds on the anatomy of a comeback
The Mets series was a bit of a homecoming for utility man Matt Reynolds. The 27-year-old third baseman/shortstop combo played a total of 115 games for the Mets from 2016 to 2017. "It was definitely weird walking into the stadium on the visitor's side, since I've been here for parts of three years," Reynolds said. "It's nice having (hitting coach) Kevin (Long) here because we talk about some of good times we had over there. Having someone who kind of went through what we went through over...

More on bullpen, Zimmerman's error and series win

More on bullpen, Zimmerman's error and series win
NEW YORK - The Nationals learned one important lesson from their late-inning collapse Wednesday night in an 11-5 loss to the Mets: The bullpen cannot deliver every time, especially when heavy use turns into taxed arms. Ryan Madson was appearing in his third game of the series and admitted that game two took a lot out of him. In game three, he did not have enough firepower left and the Mets hit him. Madson, who went to high school about 66 miles east of Dodgers Stadium in Moreno Valley, has...

Bullpen succumbs to heavy workload, Mets come back to win 11-5

Bullpen succumbs to heavy workload, Mets come back to win 11-5
NEW YORK - In the end, a tired Nationals bullpen could not hold up for a third game in a row. Nursing a 4-2 lead, the bullpen imploded for one of the rare times this season, allowing nine runs on six hits in the eighth, and the Mets salvaged the final game of the series, 11-5. Ryan Madson, pitching in his third consecutive game of the series, surrendered three straight singles before recording an out. Todd Frazier connected on a two-run single and pinch-hitter Juan Lagares' line drive curled...

Zimmerman's bat comes alive (Mets score nine in eighth, win 11-5)

Zimmerman's bat comes alive (Mets score nine in eighth, win 11-5)
NEW YORK - Manager Davey Martinez started the series here at Citi Field by saying they would not "tinker" with Ryan Zimmerman's swing, despite a .111 start at the plate to begin the season. Good thing he didn't. Facing Mets left-hander Steven Matz in the top of the first, Zimmerman got a hold of a 3-2 offering and drilled it over the center field wall for a 3-0 Nats lead. It was Zimmerman's second homer of the season. Howie Kendrick had beat out an infield single and Bryce Harper walked...

With a win tonight, the Nats will have earned their second series sweep of the season (Reds, March 30-April 1) and will go back above the .500 mark for the first time since April 10.

Fundamental baseball, stingy bullpen lead to 5-2 series win over Mets

Fundamental baseball, stingy bullpen lead to 5-2 series win over Mets
NEW YORK - The Nationals played solid, fundamental baseball, highlighted by aggressive base running and a shutdown bullpen, to drop the New York Mets 5-2 on a frigid night at Citi Field. Wilmer Difo, Pedro Severino and Ryan Zimmerman contributed key run-scoring singles while Sammy Solís, Ryan Madson, Brandon Kintzler and Sean Doolittle supported Gio Gonzalez to secure the Nats third series win of the season and second win in a row. Their record is back to .500 at 9-9. They go for the sweep...
