NEW YORK – After a 3-5 homestand, the Nationals cannot get back to a .500 record before the All-Star break next week.

For reference, these Nationals are five games better than they were at this point in the season last year. And loo

James Wood made his major league debut. Brady House was promoted to Triple-A. Several veterans were dropped from the roster. CJ Abrams earned his first All-Star

Orioles
Refresh my memory, please. Is the All-Star break the official or unofficial halfway point of the season? Because you also have the 81-game mark, which is mathematically halfway. It’s so confusing. But not as much as Craig Kimbrel’s exclusion from the Midsummer Classic. Yeah, we’re going back to that topic before tonight’s series opener against the

Desperate for a fresh bullpen arm, especially one who could pitch multiple innings if needed, the Nationals recalled right-hander Joan Adon from Triple-A Rochester before today’s game, a move that also resulted in the demotion of left-hander DJ Herz.
