Game 126 lineups: Nats vs. Reds
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
The day has come, and not a moment too soon for a Nationals organization (and fan base) that desperately needs something to get excited about. Cade Cavalli makes his major league debut tonight, which makes this the most prominent debut for a Nats starting pitcher since Lucas Giolito in 2016. What can we expect from Cavalli against a Reds lineup tha

With fourth organization, Jorge Mateo finally got his shot and ran with it

Orioles
The transaction date was Aug. 5, 2021 and it probably didn’t register big around Birdland at that time. But the Orioles had claimed a one-time top 100 prospect, infielder Jorge Mateo on waivers from San Diego.

So make no mistake, Cade Cavalli’s big league debut tonight is a big deal for the Nationals, who despe

Jordan Lyles coaxed the double play grounder that he needed last night with runners on the corners with one out in the third inning. Catcher Adley Rutschman jogged to the first base line, gave Lyles a congratulatory pat and maintained a dialogue with him as they walked to the dugout.

A clubhouse that’s started to check the standings while it’s in the thick of a wild card race – likely a majority of players, if not universally – knew exactly where it stood tonight before the first pitch. The Rays won. The Mariners won. Two teams gaining ground ahead of the Orioles. The outcomes don’t really matter if the Orioles can’t take care

Wells is nearing a live batting practice session to get him reacclimated to facing hitters. “It’s going very well,” Hyde said. “Threw his second bullpen, feels great after.
