Game 2 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

There are few days on the baseball calendar as frustrating as the off-day following Opening Day. It’s unfortunately tradition, though, included to serve as a fallback option for the season opener in case of bad weather.

Sun Monster got me.” And for the last decade, anyone who has closely watc

BOSTON – The Orioles can’t just sit on their 1.000 winning percentage as if it’s a papasan shaped like their loss total in 2023. They’ll have to play another game. Maybe the rain gods will get their own off-day, or we’ll have to wait a little longer. But it’s happening. The beauty of yesterday’s prearranged break is it allows fans, though eager for
