Corbin digs early hole, Nats can't claw back late vs. Giants (updated)

Twelve seconds. It took all of one dozen seconds for the air to be sucked out of Nationals Park this muggy Monday evening, the time between Patrick Corbin’s first pitch to Tyler Fitzgerald and his second pitch to the Giants leadoff man. The first one was innocuous enough, a 91 mph sinker that caught the outer edge of the strike zone to give Corbin

Gallo set to begin rehab assignment; Williams, Cavalli throwing

Joey Gallo is finally ready to start playing in games again. Minor league games, to be sure, but games nonetheless. Gallo, out nearly two months with a strained left hamstring, is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Rochester, which could put the big slugger on track to rejoin the Nationals’ major league roster next week. The 30-y

Ripken chosen as next guest splasher on Sept. 6

The 29th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr. breaking Lou Gehrig’s consecutive-games record arrives on Sept. 6, with time seeming to fly at warp speed. The best way to celebrate the occasion? By sending baseball’s Iron Man into the Bird Bath. The club posted a video earlier today on the former Twitter announcing that Ripken, one of the minority owners in

Game 113 lineups: Nats vs. Giants

The Nationals just took two of three from a good Brewers team, and that made for an encouraging weekend. Now comes another tough challenge, though, with a four-game series on tap against the Giants, who are keeping themselves in the wild card race by winning seven of their last nine (one of those wins a no-hitter by Blake Snell). Snell is scheduled

With some extra attention to detail, Finnegan notches 30th save

One week ago, Kyle Finnegan blew a four-run lead in Arizona, then had to sweat out the final 24 hours prior to the trade deadline before learning the Nationals were retaining him. It was an emotional couple of days for the Nationals closer, who found himself suffering his worst loss of the year while simultaneously worrying about where his next app

The Orioles, after an extended stretch of losing, may now be trending up again. Their offense and their won-loss record. In the last two games at Cleveland, they scored 16 runs on 30 hits with nine doubles, a triple and two home runs. They went 12-for-31 (.387) batting with runners in scoring position. They created a lot of scoring chances and cash

CLEVELAND - A sense of calm finally settled over Cleveland yesterday. Two professional wrestling events over the weekend drew huge crowds at the arena and football stadium. Comedian Martin Lawrence’s standup tour made a stop at the arena. The city hosted the 2024 World Yo-Yo contest, which had its ups and downs. The Guardians inducted pitcher CC Sa

CLEVELAND – Five runs scored against Corbin Burnes today, his most with the Orioles. Any chance at a 19th quality landed in the center field seats in the fifth inning. An abnormal result from the reliable ace. Eloy Jiménez was in the lineup against a right-hander and collected three hits in his first three at-bats, including a run-scoring single in
Wood's clutch triple proves the difference in Nats' 4-3 win (updated)

The situation practically begged for James Wood to do something big. Though the Nationals were leading at the time, the prospect of pulling off a 1-0 victory given the current state of their bullpen felt risky at best. So here was a golden opportunity to extend that lead: Bases loaded, one out in the bottom of the sixth, Wood at the plate as the cr

The Orioles send ace righty Corbin Burnes (11-4, 2.47 ERA) to the mound this afternoon for his 23rd start. The Orioles are 15-7 in his outings this year, winning the last three in a row. After Saturday's 7-4 win, they can split this four-game series with a win today. The Orioles had 15 hits and went 8-for-20 with runners in scoring position yesterd

When he had to come out of Wednesday’s series finale in Arizona after getting struck by a foul ball in the groin, Keibert Ruiz figured to be uncertain for Friday’s series opener in Washington.

CLEVELAND – The Orioles go for the series split this afternoon with their largely left-handed lineup that includes Colton Cowser batting leadoff. He’s built a 16-game hitting streak, one shy of Trey Mancini’s club rookie record. Cowser is batting .383 (23-for-60) with three doubles, four home runs, 15 RBIs and a 1.075 OPS during his streak.

The Nationals haven’t won a bunch recently. But when they have won, they’ve won in bunches. In fact, every time they’ve snapped a losing streak since July 12, they’ve followed that first win with another win. And if they can keep that pattern up today, they’ll wind up with a series victory over the Brewers, their second series win over the National
