SAN FRANCISCO – CJ Abrams had been in the midst of a sustained run of excellence in the field. He hadn’t committed an error in 12 games. He had converted all 10 chances he had in the field Monday night, including teaming up with Luis García to turn four double plays in the Nationals’ victory over the Giants. And then came Tuesday night’s game at Or

Shortstop Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 overall pick by the Orioles in the 2022 MLB Draft, is not even a year removed from draft day yet and his goal for the 2023 season is looking very reachable. And that is to end the year playing for Double-A Bowie. The 19-year-old lefty swinger, who moved up to No. 7 in a new Baseball America top 100 list this we

Gunnar Henderson led off the third inning last night by barreling a cutter from Tampa Bay’s Zach Eflin and driving it into right-center field at 99.9 mph off the bat.

SAN FRANCISCO – There were moments tonight when the Nationals seemed to be on Logan Webb. They did, after all, rap out nine hits off the Giants ace and present themselves with a number of golden opportunities in the early innings at Oracle Park.

He needed nine pitches and a 99.1 mph fastball to get a called third strike on Tampa Bay’s Yandy Díaz. But he did it.

SAN FRANCISCO – Though they aren’t making any declarations about the long-term plan with Jake Irvin, the Nationals aren’t about to remove the rookie right-hander from the rotation after his dominant performance Monday night.

SAN FRANCISCO – Don’t look now, but the Nationals have won 10 of their last 17. They’re 15-20 overall. They’re one game behind the Phillies, 1 1/2 games behind the Marlins, two games behind the Mets.
