Soroka turns tables on Scherzer, Braves cruise to 5-0 win

Soroka turns tables on Scherzer, Braves cruise to 5-0 win
Last Sunday in Atlanta, Max Scherzer allowed the Braves only one run on two hits in six convincing innings of work. It was the only win for the Nationals in the four-game set against the Braves, serving as reassurance that when the Nats desperately need a win against a very good team, he would deliver. That will likely be the challenge the Nats face if they get to the National League wild card game Oct. 1. But in the second matchup with Atlanta in five days, the Braves liked what they saw from...

Scherzer and Gomes get Nationals back to normal

Scherzer and Gomes get Nationals back to normal
With catcher Kurt Suzuki on the shelf with a sore elbow, Yan Gomes was pressed into duty on short notice Sunday and delivered. Gomes put together the kind of game the Nationals expected from him when they acquired him from the Indians in November. The veteran from Brazil went out and guided Max Scherzer to a win. He also belted two homers in a game for the first time since September 2017 as the Nats finally defeated the Braves 9-4, salvaging the final game of a four-game series. "It's just...

Eaton, Gomes and Soto display power early (Nats win 9-4)
The Nationals finally got off to the quick start manager Davey Martinez had been looking for, with two homers in the first two innings Sunday against the Braves. Adam Eaton crushed a two-run shot to left-center field in the first inning and Yan Gomes lined a solo homer to left field in the second inning off Braves starter Mike Soroka. For Eaton, it was his 13th; Gomes hit his eighth. The Nats' 3-0 lead was their first in the series and first time they had scored a run before the fifth inning...

Suzuki undergoes MRI on elbow, Gomes starts, Barrera arrives
ATLANTA - Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki said he felt "some tinglings, zings" in his elbow on a throw to second base in Saturday's game against the Braves. Suzuki was removed from the game and replaced by Raudy Read. Suzuki underwent an MRI, but results have not been released. "I just felt something in my elbow," Suzuki said. "One of the things that happens, I guess, in baseball. Some tingling, zings. But just a little sore today. Should be good. "It's always concerning. Doctors saw me...

Game 142 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 142 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals had high hopes when they arrived in Georgia on Wednesday night, hoping to win at least three of four against the Braves and put some heat on the top spot in the National League East with a couple of dozen games left on the schedule. Three days and three losses later, the Nats turn to ace Max Scherzer to prevent a series sweep. Scherzer certainly is very familiar with the Braves hitters. This will be his 21st start against Atlanta, and he sports a career 9-7 mark with a...

After four years away, Barrett emotional in successful return

After four years away, Barrett emotional in successful return
ATLANTA - Close to 1,500 days since his last appearance in the major leagues, Aaron Barrett had many a time to dream about returning to the mound in another regular season game. Aug. 5, 2015 to Sept. 7, 2019. Rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and then a brutal broken arm, Barrett went through so much to get back. Then on a warm night, six minutes from his offseason home, wearing the jersey of the Nationals again and with his whole family and many of his friends in attendance cheering him on,...

Barrett's triumphant return not enough as Nats fall again 5-4

Barrett's triumphant return not enough as Nats fall again 5-4
ATLANTA - Even the amazing return of Aaron Barrett, solid pitching on short notice from Austin Voth and a clutch hit from Juan Soto would not be enough to overcome an Atlanta Braves team that is on a significant hot streak. The Braves mustered four homers on the night and rode their starter, Julio Teheran, to a 5-4 win, building their lead in the National League East to double digits. Atlanta has won nine in a row overall and nine of their last 12 games against the Nats. Atlanta's starters...

Martinez on Eaton's return; Elías has Grade 1 strain (Nats lose 5-4)
ATLANTA - Nationals manager Davey Martinez elected to get Adam Eaton back in the lineup tonight for the third game of four at SunTrust Park against the Braves. This will be Eaton's first start since Sept. 2. Eaton is batting second and in right field. "It'll be nice to get him up there, get him at the top of the order," Martinez said. "Between him and Trea (Turner), get on base, get something going." Martinez said getting feedback from Eaton last night on how he felt running during the...

Game 141 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals turn to Austin Voth to help get them on the board in their crucial four-game series against the Braves. The right-hander will be making his fifth start of the season tonight at SunTrust Park, and first since July 16. In that win over the Orioles, Voth allowed one run on four hits over six innings. Voth had looked at video prior to that start in attempt to get better command and velocity on his fastball glove side. It worked. "I (couldn't) throw away to righties and in...

Zimmerman's feet feel good, in nice groove at plate
ATLANTA - Ryan Zimmerman continues to crush baseballs since his return from a second bout of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The 34-year-old drilled a three-run homer off of Luke Jackson in the eighth inning Friday night in the Braves' 4-3 win over the Nationals. It was Zimmerman's fifth homer of the season and second in the past five days. "I feel great," he said. "I think the body feels really good, I feel like I'm moving around pretty well. My first few at-bats, like I said,...

Zimmerman's three-run homer not quite enough in 4-3 loss
ATLANTA - For the second game in a row, the Nationals had trouble scoring runs against a Braves left-handed starter. On Thursday night, Max Fried tossed seven shutout innings and struck out nine in a 4-2 Atlanta win. Friday night, Dallas Keuchel (7-5) kept the Nats off the board for six innings, guiding the Braves to an early 2-0 advantage. Josh Donaldson added a two-run shot off of Wander Suero in the seventh. The veteran third baseman connected on a curveball. Ryan Zimmerman unleashed a...

ATLANTA - Nationals reliever Roenis Elías is dealing with a right hamstring injury suffered late in Friday night's opening 4-2 loss against the Braves. Manager Davey Martinez said they will wait on the MRI until Saturday to check on Eliías' hamstring. "He feels OK. He's really sore," Martinez said. "We haven't gotten an MRI yet because until the swelling goes down it's really going to reveal really nothing. Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow we'll get an MRI." "I felt a...

Game 140 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals turn to their left-handed starter Patrick Corbin tonight as they look to get back in the four-game series against the Braves. Atlanta rode the pitching of their southpaw Max Fried on Friday night to a 4-2 opening win. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg lasted six innings last night, surrendering only three runs for his 19th quality start in 29 games this season. Corbin is the only Nationals starter with more quality starts (21). Nationals manager Davey Martinez said...

Robles on latest clutch homer, Soto frustrated with strikeouts

Robles on latest clutch homer, Soto frustrated with strikeouts
ATLANTA - The story in game one was left-hander Max Fried as the Braves defeated the Nationals 4-2. The 25-year-old left-hander, who attended the same high school as former Nats starter Lucas Giolito, tossed seven shutout innings against the Nats, striking out nine. But once the Nats got past the Harvard-Westlake, Ca., graduate and into the Braves bullpen, they finally put together another familiar comeback, scoring two and bringing the tying run to the plate with two outs in their last at-bat....

Braves notch early rally against Strasburg (Nats fall 4-2)
ATLANTA - The Braves took advantage of some well-placed base hits and timely base running in the first off right-hander Stephen Strasburg. Ronald Acuña Jr. singled on a line drive to left field. The speedster moved to second base on a steal. Ozzie Albies then dropped in a perfectly placed bloop double into shallow left field to score Acuña with the first run of the game. Freddie Freeman singled to left field to score Albies and suddenly it was 2-0 Braves. Left-hander Max Fried's...

Martinez on big series, Eaton, Elías, Doolittle and more
ATLANTA - The Nationals have looked forward to this series for a while now, even if they would not admit it out loud. The four-game series against the first-place Braves is upon them. But Nationals manager Davey Martinez said his team is repeating the mantra that it cannot get ahead of itself even with only 23 games remaining. "Trea (Turner) talked about it yesterday - just control today, win today," Martinez said. "Go 1-0 today and go from there." But with the National League East deficit...

ATLANTA - The Nationals certainly did not help their chances of catching the Braves on Wednesday in an 8-4 loss to the Mets. Atlanta was idle, so the Nats fell a full seven games back of the Braves for the top spot in the National League East standings. The Braves and Nats match up seven times in the next 10 days beginning with four games starting tonight here at SunTrust Park. The season series is all even at 6-6. The Braves have won six in a row. The Nats lead the NL wild card by three games...

As season heads into home stretch, Braves don't look so invincible

As season heads into home stretch, Braves don't look so invincible
On June 10, the Atlanta Braves beat Pittsburgh 13-7 to move into a first-place tie in the National League East. They built a six-game lead by the All-Star break and on July 15, their lead was 7 1/2 games, largest of the season. A second consecutive division title seemed inevitable. Now, as baseball enters the final six weeks, the Braves face a new reality: They aren't the same dominating team that went 20-8 in June. They aren't the team that's playing the best. Although they beat the Dodgers...

Nats' new relievers better than Braves' additions since Aug. 1

Nats' new relievers better than Braves' additions since Aug. 1
The Nationals and Braves both attempted to improve their bullpens at the July 31 trade deadline. So far, the Nats have gotten the better end of the deals. Even without Roenis Elías for most of the last three weeks due to injury, the additions of Hunter Strickland and Daniel Hudson have outshone the Braves acquisitions of Chris Martin, Mark Melancon and Shane Greene. In Friday night's nail-biting 2-1 Nationals win over the Brewers, Hudson and Strickland bridged shutout seventh and eighth...
