Game 9 lineups: Nats at Pirates

Nationals
PITTSBURGH - Manager Davey Martinez could also use a more consistent performance from his lineup, which on Thursday busted out for three quick runs in the top of the first against Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker and then went mostly silent the rest of the way. As expected, the Nationals have made a roster move today. Dee Strange-Gordon has been place

PITTSBURGH - It's been an eventful start to the season. Eight games in, we've seen some very good things, we've seen some pretty bad things and we've seen plenty of unexpected things, both on and off the field. The Nationals are 3-5 after Thursday night's series-opening loss to the Pirates. It was a disappointing outcome on the heels of a series wi

A night of some good pitching at high levels on O's farm
Steve Melewski
Orioles
Two of the Orioles' top pitching prospects were on the mound last night for Triple-A Norfolk and Double-A Bowie, and they pitched the Tides and Baysox to wins. Right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, who threw four scoreless innings in his Triple-A debut, got his first win at that level as Norfolk won big 12-5 at Scranton. Rodriguez, baseball's top pitchin

More questions surround Orioles rotation
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Jordan Lyles is starting tonight’s series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards, and it seems like the right time for the veteran right-hander to lead the rotation. John Means might not be around to do it. The Orioles should have more information on Means’ status later this afternoon. He exited Wednesday night’s game after four innings with ti

Bad version of Nats shows up again in loss to Bucs
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
PITTSBURGH – Eight games in, here’s what we can say about the 2022 Nationals: When they’re good, they look really good; when they’re not … well, you can finish that sentence however you like. The Nats have now won three and lost five following a 9-4 loss to the Pirates that will quickly be cast into the dustbin of forgettable games, with no reason

Robles on bench again as Martinez looks for best matchups

Nationals
PITTSBURGH – Victor Robles is the Nationals’ starting center fielder. And he’ll continue to be their starting center fielder. As long the matchups on a particular day work in his favor. For the third time in eight games to begin the season, the matchup isn’t in Robles’ favor. Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker has a particularly tough slider, so Davey M

Game 8 lineups: Nats at Pirates

Nationals
PITTSBURGH – It is an absolutely beautiful afternoon here along the banks of the Allegheny River. Could get a little chilly tonight, but the skies are clear and the vista of downtown and the Clemente Bridge beyond PNC Park is as good as it gets. The Nationals open a four-game weekend series against the Pirates, hoping to keep the positive momentum

O's observations on the rotation, 'pen, wall and more
Steve Melewski
Orioles
A few observations from the Orioles’ first six games. They went 1-5, but played close, competitive games against two 2021 division winners in the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers. Rotation concerns: It’s too soon for their rotation to be in crisis, but there is some reason for concern. They have uncertainty with what they are doing with the No.

Deep bullpen performing exactly as hoped so far
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
ATLANTA – It’s been a long time since a Nationals manager has had at least four relievers he trusts to pitch late in games. It really didn’t happen at any point during Davey Martinez’s first four seasons on the job. Dusty Baker at one point had the “Law Firm” bullpen of Brandon Kintzler, Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle, but that was a trio, not a qu
