The Nationals have played their fair share of back-and-forth games this week. They saw six lead changes over their last four games, some of which included late-inning dramatics and extra frames. And so here they were again having to battle through another one in their second matchup against the Angels. But although they saw an early lead change swi

After right-hander Zach Eflin pitched the Orioles past the Rays with a 4-1 win Friday night, the O's will look for another victory tonight. If they get it they will have another American League East series win. Colton Cowser led off Friday's affair with his 18th homer in the first. Cowser has homered in back-to-back games and he's hit four lon

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Grayson Rodriguez will be shut down for at least 10 days and undergo more imaging on his right shoulder in about three weeks after receiving the diagnosis of a strain that executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias described today as “pretty mild.” Elias met with local media in the visiting dugout at Tropicana Field

As we get closer to the end of the season, it’s that time of year when the Nationals will bring up some new players to give them an extended chance at the major league level to evaluate for 2025. Today is one of those days where a new, young player is getting his shot. Before tonight’s game against the Angels, the Nats recalled infielder José Tena

The Nationals are coming off a rough couple of days in which they sat through multiple rain delays with a dramatic comeback only to fall in the 10th inning to the Giants on Thursday then a rare extra-inning win against the Angels on Friday. Last night’s 3-2 win was just the Nats’ fourth in 12 games that have gone to extras, but at least they are no

If it seems like the Orioles don’t issue many intentional walks, they don’t and the stats back that up. Heading into the Tampa Bay series, the O’s pitchers have issued just seven intentional walks this season. Only three American League teams issued less, five by New York, four by Cleveland and two by Houston. Only six major league clubs have issue

Upon reaching the dugout steps following a 1-2-3 top of the ninth, Kyle Finnegan caught Davey Martinez’s eye and told his manager he wanted to return to the mound for the top of the 10th. To which the Nationals manager replied: “Well, I want to win right here and not send you back out. But if we have to, yeah.” Much to Martinez’s chagrin, the Nats

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Coral Springs native Coby Mayo received only six ticket requests for his first major league game in his home state. His parents, two brothers and some friends comprised his most intimate cheering section last night. They didn’t get to watch him play. Mayo sat for the second straight game, but tonight offers the possibility of
