MIAMI – The Nationals were in position tonight to do something they haven’t done since Sept. 23-26, 2019 against the Phillies: Sweep a four-game series. The late rally Friday, the offensive explosion Saturday and the epic comeback Sunday set them up for a special wrap-around series win before continuing the road trip in Texas. There was nothing jaw
Gunnar Henderson paused at home plate, as he’s done for many of his home runs. Not too long as to show up the pitcher. His timing is ideal with his swing and how he admires its work. Henderson hit his third leadoff homer tonight and his 10th overall to tie Mike Trout for the major league lead. He barreled the seventh pitch from Yankees starter Clar
After two blown leads and losing a series over the weekend with Oakland, the Orioles' homestand continues tonight as they host the New York Yankees in a first-place showdown. The O’s 7-6 loss Sunday handed them their third series loss against six wins this season. Overall the Orioles (17-10) have won five of the last eight, 10 of 13 and 12 of their
MIAMI – The Nationals had a few empty lockers in their clubhouse ahead of their series finale against the Marlins. Victor Robles and Cade Cavalli both left the team to take the next steps in their respective rehabs. Robles, on the 10-day injured list since April 4 with a left hamstring strain, is on his way to join Triple-A Rochester for a rehab as
The Orioles won’t have closer Craig Kimbrel available tonight, but at least he stays on the active roster. Kimbrel left yesterday’s game with upper-back tightness after fumbling his second lead in three days. He wasn’t at his locker this afternoon during media clubhouse access, but manager Brandon Hyde said the veteran is “feeling better” and “kind
Coming off a series loss to Oakland and preparing to face a Yankees team at Camden Yards that scored 15 runs each the last two days, the Orioles have to quickly move on from their tough weekend with the Athletics. “Yeah, absolutely,” outfielder Colton Cowser said this afternoon in the Baltimore clubhouse. “You have to have a short memory in this le
The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated LHP Cionel Pérez from the 15-day Injured List (right oblique strain).Optioned RHP Dillon Tate to Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles reinstated left-hander Cionel Pérez from the 15-day injured list today and optioned reliever Dillon Tate to Triple-A Norfolk. Pérez pitched twice with Norfolk on his injury rehab assignment. He faced two batters on March 30 at Camden Yards, strained his oblique muscle and walked off the field. Tate made 11 appearances and allowed four e
MIAMI – The Nationals have an opportunity for a four-game sweep tonight. It would be their first four-game sweep since Sept. 23-26, 2019 against the Phillies, which was actually a five-game sweep due to a doubleheader on Sept. 24. Washington's only other four-game sweep of the Marlins was Sept. 18-21, 2014 here in Miami. A win tonight would also gi
MIAMI – The Nationals came into this four-game series with the Marlins in search of some offense. No, this team is not built to hit home runs, with their 26 longballs ranking 21st in the major leagues. They’re built to get on base, use their speed to advance by stealing or taking an extra base on a ball put in play, and then scoring with productive
