Game 30 lineups: Nats at Rangers

Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – The opener of this interleague series was one to forget. The Nationals had only three baserunners (all via single, two of them never leaving the infield). MacKenzie Gore pitched well, but then the bullpen turned it into a rout by night’s end. A bad day all around. The Nats will try to shrug that off and get back on track (and get

The Orioles reinstated John Means from the 15-day injured list this afternoon. How they made room for him wasn’t among the speculated moves. Grayson Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to yesterday. Rodriguez rebounded Monday from a rough start by shutting out the Yankees over 5 2/3 innings. He threw

The O's pitching has stepped up in the Yankees series

The Orioles have gotten plenty of attention for their homer prowess. They began play last night leading the majors in homers and in homers per game. They had hit at least one homer in 21 of their 28 games and went 15-6 in those. But in this series with the New York Yankees, the Baltimore pitching has led the way to wins by 2-0 and 4-2. The O’s staf
Rosario laments "worst month" of long career

ARLINGTON, Texas – Eddie Rosario led off the top of the fifth with a single to center field, a relatively nondescript moment that meant even less moments later when he was wiped out on a 5-4-3 double play off the bat of teammate Riley Adams. That was April 17, the finale of the Nationals’ series at Dodger Stadium. Thirteen games have passed since t
Curiosities mounting over Orioles' pitching plans

Orioles
The Orioles haven’t announced their starter for Thursday afternoon, when they close out their series against the Yankees and the latest homestand. The spot remains TBA, with an assumption attached that Kyle Bradish is making his 2024 debut. Bradish would be working on an extra days’ rest after starting Friday with Triple-A Norfolk. Cole Irvin would
Bats go silent as Nats wrap encouraging April with loss (updated)

ARLINGTON, Texas – Whether they realized it or not, a win tonight by the Nationals would’ve been rather significant. Not because the outcome of their series opener against the Rangers would make or break this season, but because of what it would’ve meant on a psychological level. A win would’ve made them 15-14 to wrap up the month. It would’ve mark
Kremer goes seven innings and Webb handles closing duties in Orioles' 4-2 win (updated)

Orioles
One of the biggest potential influencers in tonight’s game was doing important work on the field before batting practice. Craig Kimbrel stretched while holding a weighted ball, played catch and walked to the bullpen for a lengthy session. The Orioles needed proof that the tightness was gone in his upper back and he could be a consideration in a sav
Red-hot Senzel staying as DH for now with Lipscomb at third

ARLINGTON, Texas – Nick Senzel is on the kind of power streak most players only dream about. Trey Lipscomb has been red-hot since returning from Triple-A. So how do the Nationals keep both players in the lineup? For now, the answer is to have Senzel serve as designated hitter while Lipscomb handles third base. That’s the alignment again tonight for
