Cavalli dominates in return; Nats bullpen streak ends
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
By this time next week, the Nationals’ farm system could have a brand-new infusion of talent, perhaps a host of well-regarded prospects acquired before Tuesday’s trade deadline, should the organization make the dramatic decision to deal Juan Soto (not to mention Josh Bell, Nelson Cruz, Kyle Finnegan, Carl Edwards Jr. and possibly others) in the fin
More with Boras, Guthrie and Rutschman on Jackson Holliday
Steve Melewski
Orioles
You would certainly assume that if Jackson Holliday ever seeks out Adley Rutschman for advice on being the No. 1 overall draft pick, Rutschman will be there to answer any questions he has. But when he was asked yesterday if he has any advice now for Holliday, you had to figure Rutschman was not going to dispense any just yet. At least not through t
Leftovers from Jackson Holliday press conference

Orioles
Shortstop Jackson Holliday signed his first professional contract yesterday, the $8.19 million bonus setting a record for a high school selection. A big-time perk for going one/one. Holliday hasn’t made an extravagant purchase or drawn up a shopping list. He smiled about it yesterday, one of those moments that reminded you of his youth, that he’s s
Tyler Wells leaves game with back injury (O's lose 6-4, updated)
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Tyler Wells has been on strict pitch and innings counts this season, the Orioles wanting to get him through a full season as a starter without shutting him down. Push him a little in a start, then pull him back. Provide rest where it can be found. They didn’t want an injury to factor into his usage, but it happened tonight. Wells threw a slider dow
O's game blog: Tyler Wells to the mound as Tampa Bay series continues

Orioles
The Orioles have had a pair of impressive wins over the Tampa Bay Rays and can win this series with a victory tonight. It's the third game of a four-game series and the sixth of a seven-game homestand. The Orioles (49-48) moved ahead of the Boston Red Sox and into fourth-place with Tuesday's 5-3 comeback win. Ramón Urías hit a two-run homer to take
Corbin can't finish first inning in blowout loss (updated)

Nationals
LOS ANGELES – There is no greater indignity for a starting pitcher then to see his manager emerge from the dugout steps and make the long, slow walk toward him in the first inning. Unless said starter is injured or dealing with some other abnormal circumstances, the first-inning hook is as humiliating a fate as a big league pitcher will ever experi
Matt Holliday happy to pass the baseball baton to son Jackson

Orioles
The family tables have turned for the Hollidays. Jackson Holliday is no longer “Matt’s son,” as he’s been referenced for most of his life. Matt Holliday, who had a 15-year major league career and made seven All-Star teams, was introduced today as “Jackson’s dad” to begin a press conference at Camden Yards. Much to his amusement. The former outfield

Orioles
The Orioles third-ever No. 1 overall MLB Draft pick arrived at Camden Yards today. But not for good this time. Jackson Holliday, taken No. 1 overall by the team July 17, has signed his first pro contract and will report to the O’s camp in Sarasota, Fla. tomorrow. He is going to start his pro career playing in the rookie-level Florida Complex League

Adley Rutschman is batting second tonight as the Orioles attempt to secure another series win against the Rays. Terrin Vavra has media gathered at his locker this afternoon, but his name isn’t in the lineup. His major league debut remains on hold. Ramón Urías, who hit the decisive two-run homer last night in the eighth inning, is batting .397/.426/
Harvey savors first chance to close game for Nats

Nationals
LOS ANGELES – As the eighth inning became the ninth inning Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, the Nationals suddenly holding a 4-3 lead following Luis García’s dramatic home run, Hunter Harvey looked around the bullpen and tried to figure out who was about to be told to start warming up. With Kyle Finnegan and Carl Edwards Jr. both unavailable after
