Game 145 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Tuesday night’s game was ugly. I mean, real ugly. At least for the Nationals. MacKenzie Gore was roughed up for the first time in weeks. José Tena committed another error. The bullpen wasn’t particularly good. And the lineup was held to three hits despite only having to face Braves starter Reynaldo López for one inning before he departed with shoul

Needing a much-better performance than Monday, the O's got just that at Fenway Park

The Orioles gave up 15 hits, four homers and 12 runs. They went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Their bullpen allowed eight runs. They left eight men on base and that was just in the first four innings. Monday was a mess. Tuesday was a step in the right direction. If ever there was a night the Orioles needed to win, this was it. Not so m

Tena's woes at third continue; Chaparro becomes 23rd Nat to steal base

It was not necessarily an easy play. The ball came screaming off Luke Williams’ bat at 104.4 mph. But José Tena’s reaction said it all. The Nationals’ rookie third baseman couldn’t react quickly enough and was left in a defensive position as the ball skipped toward him. It rattled off his glove, and though he picked it up right away, he had to rush

Jiménez joins Orioles teammates in giving back to community

BOSTON – To blend with his new Orioles teammates, Eloy Jiménez simply had to demonstrate a strong work ethic and sense of humor. Grind through at-bats and celebrate the successes of others with the faucet and sprinkler gestures at the railing, which he does with enthusiasm. Seek improvement through the organizational hitting philosophy of hard and

Mullins homers twice and Suárez provides another strong start in Orioles' 5-3 win (updated)

BOSTON – Cedric Mullins won’t be moving down the lineup anytime soon against right-handed pitching. Albert Suárez might not leave the rotation against anyone. Mullins homered in his first two at-bats tonight to power the Orioles to a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox before an announced crowd of 30,898 at Fenway Park. One came cheaply, the other earned.

The season’s final three weeks will see the Nationals play 11 of their last 19 games against teams in the thick of the pennant race. It makes for a significant challenge for a team loaded with rookies getting used to September baseball in the majors for the first time, let alone games of this magnitude.

BOSTON – Jordan Westburg did some throwing in the outfield this afternoon, moved to the dirt and began taking ground balls at third base and at second. He made throws across the infield and flipped the ball as if starting a double play. The Orioles can’t wait to get the real thing from Westburg, who’s on the injured list since fracturing his right

Some 3 1/2 months since he last pitched for the Nationals, Trevor Williams took the mound this evening in Harrisburg for a long-awaited rehab start. The right-hander, out since May 30 with a flexor strain in his elbow, tossed three scoreless innings in the Double-A game against Reading. And barring any setbacks, he’s likely to return to Harrisburg

We’ve reached the final three weeks of the season, which means the Nationals are looking at a week of home games, then a week of road games, then one last week of home games before heading out for the winter. There are a bunch of contenders on the schedule, though, including two more games with the Braves, who come to town tonight. Atlanta is right

BOSTON – Suggesting ways that Brandon Hyde might attempt to revive a lagging offense, the baseball equivalent of using jumper cables on a stalled car, won’t come across as fresh ideas to the manager.
