Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in Jupiter
JUPITER, Fla. - And then there was one. When Patrick Corbin toes the rubber at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium against the Cardinals this afternoon, he'll become the last of the Nationals starting pitchers to pitch in a Grapefruit League game. Manager Davey Martinez held back Corbin and Stephen Strasburg, who started yesterday against the Rays in West Palm Beach, as a way to compensate for the exceedingly long postseason that went through Oct. 30 and the club's victory over the Astros in the...

When it mattered most, reworked bullpen delivered the biggest outs
The Nationals advanced to the World Series on Tuesday night with a 7-4 victory and a sweep of the National League Championship Series over the Cardinals.

Tanner Rainey relieved Corbin in the sixth and delivered a clean inning with a strikeout. Sean Doolittle came in for the seventh and even notched two more outs in the eighth. And...

It's not difficult to pinpoint issues that swept Cardinals out of NLCS

It's not difficult to pinpoint issues that swept Cardinals out of NLCS
The Cardinals finished their regular season on a 47-27 run, won the National League Central and returned to the postseason for the first time since 2015. They beat Atlanta in the NL Division Series and scored 10 runs in the first inning of a Game 5 13-1 smashing of the Braves. But when they got to the NL Championship Series against the Nationals, the Cardinals fell apart. The Nationals beat them 7-4 in Game 4, giving Washington a sweep and the city its first pennant since 1933, when the...

Corbin knows Cards well, Robles good to go, Hudson and Doolittle rested

Corbin knows Cards well, Robles good to go, Hudson and Doolittle rested
Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin defeated the Cardinals on Sept. 17 at Busch Stadium by throwing six strong innings and allowing only two unearned runs. He struck out 11 and walked four in a 6-2 Nationals victory. The former DIamondback gets his second start of the postseason tonight in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. "Yeah, we just played them a month or so ago," Corbin said. "I'll just try to go over film and go over what I did do well and what I didn't do well. At...

On verge of elimination, Cardinals still searching for rhythm in NLCS

On verge of elimination, Cardinals still searching for rhythm in NLCS
The Cardinals came to D.C. taking aim at becoming the second National League team to recover from a 0-2 deficit in a best-of-seven series and make the World Series. Instead, they dug themselves an even deeper hole. The Nationals, a win away from bringing the World Series to Washington for the first time since 1933, beat the Cardinals 8-1 in Game 3 on Monday night to take a three games to none lead in the NL Championship Series at wild and crazy Nationals Park. The 2004 Red Sox are the only team...

Kendrick's clutch hit caps big third (Nats win 8-1)
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg started Game 3 of the National League Championship Series with a pair of strikeouts in the first inning, including a called third strike on a curveball to Paul Goldschmidt to end the frame. Marcell Ozuna led off the second with a double down the left field line. Fielding a comebacker by José Martínez, Strasburg wheeled and was able to catch Ozuna off second base. Strasburg then got a pair of popups to get out of the threat. Anthony Rendon drew a two-out walk...

Martinez cautious with Robles, defines Elías' role next two games
Nationals manager Davey Martinez had an update on center fielder Victor Robles as he continues recovery from a tweaked right hamstring suffered in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. "We are going to run him a little bit today, get some treatment," Martinez said during a conference call. "Tomorrow he will participate in BP and do a little running. And we will see where we are at tomorrow. I'm not going to anticipate anything until he comes in tomorrow. But...

In NLCS vs. Nationals, Cardinals may have edge in defense and bullpen

In NLCS vs. Nationals, Cardinals may have edge in defense and bullpen
The Cardinals host the Nationals in the first two games of the National League Championship Series on Friday and Saturday at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals, in the postseason for the first time since 2015, beat the Braves 13-1 with a history-making 10-run first inning in Game 5 of their NL Division Series in Atlanta. Ironically, the explosion of runs was 51 years ago to the day that Detroit scored 10 runs in the sixth inning against the Cardinals in a 13-1 Game 6 World Series win in the original...

Pregame notes on Soto, Turner, Kieboom, more (6:30 p.m. start expected)
Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Juan Soto is ready to go today against the Cardinals in the series finale after being a late scratch last night prior to game three due to back spasms. "He's in the lineup. He's good to go," Martinez said. "It's good to have him back in there. He said he didn't feel anything really. I think he just cramped up. We don't want to take a chance." Martinez said the training staff was concerned it was something worse when Soto was hurt during batting...

Game 30 lineups: Nats vs. Cards (Soto scratched again)
The Nationals look to salvage the final game of their four-game series with the Cardinals today before they set out on a rigorous 10-game, three-city road trip starting Friday in Philadelphia.

Strasburg is 2-2 with a 2.56 ERA in six starts against St. Louis in his career with 43 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings. He has not faced the Cards since 2016. In his last two starts, Strasburg has...

Soto scratched, Cards get to Scherzer in first (Nats fall 5-1)
The Nationals scratched left fielder Juan Soto from the lineup with back spasms about an hour prior to first pitch against the Cardinals. Michael A. Taylor took over center field, Adam Eaton played left field and Victor Robles was in right field. The Cardinals did not waste any time getting on the board against Nationals ace Max Scherzer. After recording the first out, Scherzer allowed singles to Paul Goldschmidt and Paul DeJong. Marcell Ozuna then dropped a double into right field after Robles...

Nationals right-hander Aníbal Sánchez is seeking his first win with his new team. After starting the season 0-3, Sánchez faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night.

Jennings wants to pitch every day; Fedde's key role still undecided
With Anthony Rendon moving to the injured list, the Nationals purchased the contract of veteran southpaw reliever Dan Jennings from Double-A Harrisburg. Jennings had a 4-5 record with a 3.22 ERA in 72 appearances last season with Milwaukee. The Senators were in Reading, Pa., when Jennings was told he had to get to D.C. "After the game they told me, then it became a scramble to get here," Jennings said. "I took an Uber here from Reading. I think the guy was a little surprised when he picked...

Corbin helps his own cause to start rally (Nats fall 6-3)
The Nationals got after Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha with three runs in the second inning. The rally was sparked by Wacha's counterpart, left-hander Patrick Corbin, who put together was of the most impressive at-bats of the season. With one out, Matt Adams singled to right field. One batter later, Brian Dozier singled. Yan Gomes walked to load the bases. Corbin battled back from an 0-2 count to get to a full count versus Wacha. He had to foul off four pitches to stay alive for nine...

Brewers look to compete with Cubs in NL Central and return to postseason

Brewers look to compete with Cubs in NL Central and return to postseason
The Cubs have a revamped rotation to go with a lineup that features Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, two hitters that are potential National League MVP candidates. Their biggest competition in the NL Central could be the Brewers, who had 86 victories last season and have a legitimate shot to make the postseason for the first time since 2011. But the Cardinals, who had 100, 86 and 83 wins in each of the last three seasons, are trying to avoid being left out of the postseason for the third...
