  • Injury-free rotation gives Nationals a leg up on Dodgers

    By Kevin Dunleavy | 05/14/13 08:55 PM

    Injury-free rotation gives Nats advantage Until Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Dodgers weren't sure who would start their series finale against the Nationals -- Zack Greinke or Matt Magill. Uncertainty has been a constant this season for the Dodgers, who used nine different starting...

  • Thom Loverro: The Dodgers' history in Brooklyn casts a long shadow over the game

    By Thom Loverro | 05/14/13 08:55 PM

    The Washington Nationals began their road trip Monday night with the start of a three-game series against the Dodgers, who, under former Nationals president Stan Kasten, have become the Dodgers again -- at least off the field. Under former owner Frank McCourt, the franchise was a disaster,...

  • Nationals thrown for a loop as Kurt Suzuki's error lets Cubs steal a win

    By associated press | 05/12/13 06:35 PM

    Suzuki's error in ninth lets Cubs steal a win Welington Castillo got his bat on the ball at precisely the right time. Even though it was a complete accident and Castillo didn't get credit for a hit, his bat essentially won the game for the Chicago Cubs. Alfonso Soriano scored the...

  • Pitchers allow 12 hits in 8-2 loss to Cubs

    By Kevin Dunleavy | 05/11/13 08:05 PM

    As Stephen Strasburg has muddled through his longest stretch in the major leagues without a win, there has been a litany of diagnoses ranging from elbow stiffness, to a lack of command, to a change in throwing motion, to first-inning woes, and even to bad body language. But as Strasburg has...

  • Phil Wood: Nationals backup Tyler Moore is too good not to get more of a chance

    By Phil Wood | 05/10/13 06:35 PM

    Just before Opening Day, I used this space to opine that the Nationals should think seriously about making converted pitcher Micah Owings their righty-hitting backup first baseman/outfielder/pinch hitter in 2013. Owings had signed a minor league contract last winter and turned in an impressive...

    Nationals Report Haren tries to turn it around It's been a roller-coaster ride already for Nationals starting pitcher Dan Haren. The team took a gamble when it let Edwin Jackson go in the offseason and turned a spot over to Haren, one of the game's steadiest pitchers for years but one...

  • Rick Snider: Nats get no points for fixing rainout policy

    By Rick Snider | 05/09/13 09:45 PM

    Rainouts are the worst. Greedy team officials are second. Sitting in Memorial Stadium as a young lad on the rare occasion dad took me to a Baltimore Orioles game, we'd wait for the official cancellation during rain hoping for a miracle. The ticket stubs were only good for the next day, and we...

  • Nationals moving in right direction

    By Kevin Dunleavy | 05/09/13 09:45 PM

    Nationals power past Tigers in 5-4 victory A Dennis Green like pronouncement might be premature. But so far this May, the Washington Nationals are worthy of the words the former Arizona Cardinals coach who famously used after a loss to the Chicago Bears: "They are who we thought they were."...

  • Thom Loverro: Choppy waves divide Nationals fans in crowd battle

    By Thom Loverro | 05/08/13 05:35 PM

    The waves are choppy these days at Nationals Park. The most docile crowd in baseball is riled up about something as simple as standing up and sitting down in your seat at the game -- choreographed in unison with your neighbors, a seemingly fun and innocuous expression. For some, you would...
