Game 84 lineups: Nats vs. Reds

Nationals
When they left town a week and a half ago, the Nationals were reeling, having just gone 1-6 during one of the worst homestands in club history. They return tonight having completely reversed that trend, going 6-3 on a long trip that included stops in San Diego, Seattle and Philadelphia. What should we expect now as they open the final week of the f

NEW YORK – Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman has more to do at the All-Star Game than represent the American League. He’s also trying to win the Home Run Derby. Rutschman is participating in next Monday’s event at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, joining the Mets’ Pete Alonso, the Rays’ Randy Arozarena, the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts, the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Gue

PHILADELPHIA – Josiah Gray is an All-Star. It’s the first time the young right-hander has received the honor. He will represent the Nationals in the 93rd Midsummer Classic next week in Seattle. Joining him from the organization will be top prospects James Wood and Brady House in the Futures Game. It’s a significant movement as the Nats’ future will
After strong All-Star haul, it's on to New York for the Orioles

The Orioles certainly seemed to have several players worthy of All-Star consideration. It had to be a bit disappointing in Birdland when catcher Adley Rutschman did not win the fan vote to start for the American League on July 11 in Seattle. But now it has to be some validation for the Orioles’ strong first half play and recognition that those arou

The key moments from the eighth inning of yesterday’s game could be plucked from multiple spots. Start with the tapper near the mound that Adley Rutschman turned into his 13th infield hit of the season, beating the throw from Twins reliever Jhoan Duran with one out. Anthony Santander saw nine pitches, including three clocked higher than 102 mph, an

For the first time since 2016, the Orioles will have more than one representative at the All-Star Game. Try four. Signs of improvement on the field and in the perceptions of fans and the industry are everywhere. Catcher Adley Rutschman was chosen as an American League reserve behind starter Jonah Heim, who beat him in phase 2 of voting. Austin Hays

PHILADELPHIA – Josiah Gray stepped into the tunnel outside the Nationals clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park to meet with a small group of reporters. He was wiping his eyes, which were red and watery. An unusual sight when most interviews are done by his locker. The All-Star treatment. Gray was named an All-Star for the first time, the Nationals’ lone

PHILADELPHIA – This has already been a successful road trip for the Nationals. They were just trying to put a cherry on top. End it with a bang. Having already sealed a winning record with five wins in the first eight of this nine-game odyssey, the Nats were also looking to do something they haven’t done since 2017: Win three series on the same roa
