Game 47 lineups: Nats vs. Twins
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
The Nationals ended their losing streak and extended the Twins’ losing streak with a blowout win Monday night. Now they’ll look to make it two in a row and generate some positive momentum for the first time in a couple weeks. They’ll hand the ball tonight to Patrick Corbin, who has quietly strung together some solid starts. In five outings since Ap

There were two on with two out in the sixth, the Twins having already scored twice in the inning, now sending their seventh batter of the frame to the plate. Mitchell Parker was up to 89 pitches, and Derek Law was warm in the bullpen. Davey Martinez has made the walk to the mound more often than not in those situations in recent seasons. A fading y

ST. LOUIS – The Orioles remarkable Gunnar Henderson can always seem to make his special play sound like it’s not that special. But we all know better. He can say he made an adjustment here, or a tweak there, got with the coaches and now feels more comfortable. But however he wants to say it, he just keeps bashing baseballs out of ballparks. St. Lou

Constant fluctuations in run production are expected over the course of a 162-game regular season. The dam bursts and is rebuilt. The Orioles were shut out against the Yankees on May 1 and scored seven runs the following day. They beat the Reds 2-1 in Cincinnati, erupted for 11 runs in the next game and lost 3-0 in D.C. They totaled seven runs in a

ST. LOUIS – Sometimes the strike call you don’t get leads to the fastball you throw that leaves the ballpark. That happened to the Orioles tonight, and it was a frustrating way to begin their week-long road trip to St. Louis and Chicago. This game sure had its frustrations for the Orioles. Take the Cardinals' four-run last of the fourth, which gave

The Nationals finally broke out of their offensive slumber tonight, and all it took was a couple of rare home runs, as many hits with runners in scoring position as they had totaled in their previous five games and one wild trip around the bases by Eddie Rosario. A 12-3 rout over the Twins, to put it mildly, was exactly what this team needed. Snapp

ST. LOUIS – After going 5-3 on the season’s longest homestand, the Orioles are in St. Louis tonight to begin a three-game series and seven-game road trip that moves to Chicago on Thursday. The Seattle pitching staff began the weekend at Camden Yards ranked fourth in the American League in team ERA at 3.33 and fifth in rotation ERA at 3.36. But the

ST. LOUIS – The Orioles may be back to having one closer, and it’s once again veteran Craig Kimbrel. He buzzed through the ninth inning Sunday on 14 pitches with two strikeouts, recording the ninth save of his year and the 426th of his career.  Over his past four games, he has thrown four hitless and scoreless innings, lowering his ERA from 4.73 to

It happened on a back field in West Palm Beach, under a blazing hot sun, against a lineup made up of much younger prospects (plus one established big leaguer). But it was a competitive baseball game, the first one Cade Cavalli had pitched in since March 2023, when he tore his elbow ligament and required Tommy John surgery. Cavalli’s first official

Ryan Mountcastle is out of the Orioles lineup again tonight to begin a three-game series in St. Louis. Mountcastle sat out Saturday's game and played first base yesterday. He had two doubles and a triple on May 11 but has one hit in his last 20 at-bats. He hasn’t drawn a walk since April 24. Anthony Santander, who’s receiving treatment on a bruised
