Game 87 lineups: Nats at Braves

ATLANTA – It’s a new day and the Nationals will be looking to get past last night’s disaster, which saw them lose 10-2 in the series opener with a 75-minute rain delay and another position player pitching. They’ll turn to Patrick Corbin to set the tone for them on the mound this afternoon. Although the overall numbers still aren’t great (4-10 recor

Orioles recall Zimmermann and option Sulser

The Orioles recalled left-hander Bruce Zimmermann from Triple-A Norfolk this morning, returning the Baltimore native to the majors. Reliever Beau Sulser was optioned after last night’s thrilling 5-4, walk-off win over the Angels at Camden Yards. Manager Brandon Hyde will explain later whether Zimmermann goes back into the rotation or provides lengt

Weems trying to prove worth in Nats bullpen

ATLANTA – Part of the rebuilding process, especially if you want to make it a quick turnaround back to contention, is finding diamonds in the rough. Whether that’s in the draft, international market or free agency, adding productive pieces that may have been overlooked by other teams is a good way to put together a contender. It’s still early with

The amazing comeback win (plus Elias on the radio broadcast)

It is quite amazing, but for the third time in the last five games the Orioles produced a walk-off win last night, and each time they were down to their last out in the ninth inning and they either tied the game to extend it or, in the case of last night, scored three runs with two outs and none on to win it. Wasn't it just a couple of days ag

Pérez and Tate helping to hold the bullpen together

Reaching for the bullpen phone used to burn the fingers of Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. He should have blisters from doing it. He’d try to remain stoic as the television cameras zoomed in, the internal meltdowns allowing for some privacy, some cover from what tortured him. Hyde needed to remove a starter, often in the early innings, but he couldn’

Disastrous second inning dooms Fedde, Nats in loss (updated)

Nationals
ATLANTA – It’s been hit or miss for Erick Fedde this year. Really, it’s been hit or miss for Erick Fedde throughout his career. But he hasn’t been put under the microscope until these past two seasons as he has solidified himself in the Nationals rotation. Sometimes he’s sharp and can use his arsenal effectively to turn in a quality (if not better)
Orioles rally late and defeat Angels 5-4 to extend winning streak to six games (updated)

Mike Trout stood at home plate tonight and twisted his body as if trying to make his fly ball stay fair down the left field line. Willing it with his torso. Tyler Wells turned his head, hoping for a different result. Trout circled the bases with a three-run homer, receiving confirmation in the dugout after a crew chief review, and Wells had allowed

O's game blog: O's look to extend the winning streak
Steve Melewski
Orioles
Behind improved pitching and the ability to pull out some close games, the Orioles have crafted a five-game winning streak. They try to extend that tonight in the second game of a four-game series versus the Los Angeles Angels. Jordan Lyles allowed just one run over six innings and Adley Rutschman hit his fourth big league homer and first at Camden

ATLANTA – Less than 24 hours after exiting Thursday’s series finale in Philadelphia, Luis García is back in the Nationals lineup for the series opener in Atlanta. A sigh of relief can be heard throughout the organization. Ehire Adrianza replaced García at shortstop in the bottom of the seventh inning of the 5-3 loss to the Phillies after García gro

Kyle Bradish is expected to make two or three starts in the minors before the Orioles activate him from the injured list and return him to the rotation. Bradish starts Saturday for Double-A Bowie in Somerset. “We’re going to build him back up,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “The first outing’s going to be three to four innings and we’ll build him back

ATLANTA – Greetings from just outside downtown Atlanta, where the Nationals are making their second visit to Truist Park this year. I can confirm the Nats won’t have to face Kyle Schwarber over this three-game series, but alas, another National League East opponent awaits in the Braves. The Nats are a woeful 7-30 on the season within the division a

The Orioles will try tonight to win their sixth game in a row and move three below .500 for the first time since April 23. They’re 22-17 at home, winning nine of their last 12. Tyler Wells has lowered his ERA to 3.09 and his WHIP to 1.004 in 16 starts. He’s given the Orioles five quality starts despite the restrictions on his pitch counts, and he’s
More good pitching and more with the Nevins

It was another night, another win and another evening of solid Orioles pitching from beginning to end of the game. They have now won five straight after Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels to get to 40-44. They are 10-5 over the last 15 games and 16-9 over the past 25 games. Right-hander Jordan Lyles was the latest O’s starter to provide
Barrera appreciates opportunity to return to majors
Mark Zuckerman

As he stood inside the clubhouse at Nationals Park last week, seeing a few unfamiliar but mostly familiar faces, Tres Barrera felt like he was home. “This is what you work for,” the 27-year-old catcher said. “This is where you want to be.” Barrera hadn’t been in D.C. yet this season, not necessarily through any fault of his own but rather because o

John Means has always wanted to visit Wrigley Field, and his chance finally arrives next week for the Orioles’ short series against the Cubs. Means never imagined that he’d be injured and done pitching for the entire summer, but he’ll make the most of it. “Those were games I circled on the list to try to make it to,” he said.
