Nats get Marlins monkey off their back to set up more successful season
Bobby Blanco
Nationals
MIAMI – The Nationals won 16 more games in 2023 than they did in 2022. Although that was an obvious improvement, they were careful not to label it a successful season. After all, 71 wins isn’t something to brag about. The goal is to finish above .500. To get back to the playoffs. To win another championship. Those are the successes the Nats are str

When Gunnar Henderson drove a Clarke Schmidt curveball to the flag court in right – a ball he smoked at 112.3 mph, his hardest-hit homer this year – the Orioles series with the Yankees was off and running. They got off to a good start and had a strong finish. No leads got away on this night as the Orioles beat the New York Yankees 2-0 to improve to

My mailbag is like Glenn Close in “Fatal Attraction” or Alexander Godunov in “Die Hard.” You think it’s finished and suddenly it bolts upright in a tub filled with water or somehow removes a heavy iron chain from around its neck after an apparent strangulation. If it were the Wicked Witch of the East, it would have wiggled out from underneath Dorot

Nationals
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

Henderson homers again and Coulombe closes out Orioles' 2-0 win (updated)

Orioles
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

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.

Orioles
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
