PITTSBURGH – What a Saturday day and night that turned out to be at the ballpark. The Nationals swept their doubleheader against the Pirates, putting together a no-hit bid in the opener and then storming back to score four runs with two outs in the ninth to win the nightcap. It took just about everything out of them to pull that off, especially a b

ABERDEEN, Md. - After a junior year at North Carolina where he batted .318 with an OPS of 1.124 and hit a school-record 28 homers, outfielder Vance Honeycutt has gotten off to a slow start to his pro career with the Orioles. He is not the first high draft pick to take some early 0-fers and he began his run this week at High-A Aberdeen going 0-for-1

Gunnar Henderson got hot again at the plate. His .234/.303/.405 August was followed by nine hits in 19 at-bats prior to yesterday, with a double, three home runs, seven RBIs and four walks. The tater total is two shy of last month’s output in 28 games and one more than he hit in 24 games in July. And he was robbed of a three-run shot yesterday on J

PITTSBURGH – It’s hard to sweep a doubleheader. It’s even harder when your Game 2 starter can’t get out of the fourth inning, you have to ask four relievers who already pitched in Game 1 to come back and do it again five hours later and you have to ask a lineup loaded with inexperienced hitters to mount a ninth-inning rally against Aroldis Chapman.

Zach Eflin has provided a huge lift to the Orioles since his arrival in a trade with Tampa Bay. It was their turn to pick him up. They owed him. They had numerous chances. They didn’t do it. Eflin served up leadoff home runs to Yandy Díaz in the first inning and Taylor Walls in the third, and the Orioles couldn’t deliver in the clutch in a 7-1 loss

PITTSBURGH – The Nationals got the job done in Game 1 of today’s doubleheader against the Pirates. DJ Herz tossed five no-hit innings before departing with his pitch count at 87. Dylan Crews homered, doubled and drove in two runs. The bullpen hung on, with Kyle Finnegan barely surviving another harrowing ninth inning to close out a 5-3 victory. Now
