Walking along Eutaw Street may require protective headgear. Anthony Santander launched a baseball over the flag court in right field yesterday and Gunnar Henderson splashed down this afternoon with his 19th home run and sixth leading off the first inning. Zack Littell got a called strike with his sinker and regretted the slider that followed. Hende

CLEVELAND – The schedule has not been kind to the Nationals through the season’s first two months, from far more games on the road (35) than at home (23) to a current stretch of 17 consecutive games without a scheduled day off to a number of series against some of the top contenders in both leagues. How have the Nats handled it all? Maybe they have

CLEVELAND – The Nationals swapped out backup catchers this morning, optioning Riley Adams to Triple-A and recalling Drew Millas from Rochester, hoping the latter can provide a more potent bat in the big leagues while the former tries to rediscover his swing (while also getting playing time at another position) in the minors. Adams got off to a hot

Austin Hays is in left field this afternoon as the Orioles close out the series against the Rays and their homestand. Cedric Mullins is in center and Anthony Santander is in right. Just like the old days. Jordan Westburg is the third baseman and Adley Rutschman is serving as the designated hitter. Colton Cowser has posted a 1.009 OPS when batting s

CLEVELAND – The Nationals need a win in today’s series finale to avoid getting swept by a Guardians team that has won 14 of its last 17 and is absolutely rolling right now. Both games this weekend have been competitive, with Friday night’s opener turning ugly late when the Nats bullpen gave up five runs and Saturday’s affair a tight one-run loss th

O's closer Craig Kimbrel, once again, gets on a pitching roll

Orioles
Considering how well he has pitched before it and after it, it's fair to ask if Craig Kimbrel's six-game slump was mostly about a back issue? Kimbrel's start to his season included one run allowed over 10 innings. Then came his struggles which lasted about two weeks. And now over his past eight games, he has not allowed a run. For the year, over 24

The task at hand can’t change because of an elbow. Teammates, manager Brandon Hyde and his staff collectively hurt for John Means and Tyler Wells, who will undergo surgery to repair their ulnar collateral ligaments. Two huge contributors to the club are gone, but the process stays the same. Go out and do your job. Stay within yourself. Don’t feel p
Orioles hit four homers to cover for Bradish's short start in 9-5 win (updated)

The second batter that Kyle Bradish faced today singled into right field, the ball glancing off Jorge Mateo’s glove as he attempted to make a sliding stop. A cleaner single followed. The no-hit stuff and the breaks were left back in Chicago. Bradish lasted only 2 2/3 innings after losing his command and issuing three consecutive walks, the last wit
