Washington Nationals

The Nationals suffered their 32nd blown save of the season as the Mets scored twice in the ninth for a walk-off victory.

The left-hander allowed two runs on two hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Nasim Nuñez will become the everyday shortstop in a process that should take days, not weeks, according to manager Blake Butera.

Cavalli joined Max Scherzer as the only pitchers in team history to record two or more games of at least seven innings pitched with one hit or fewer and 10 or more strikeouts.

With a more consistent delivery allowing him to throw harder than ever, Kent has gotten more swings and misses. Coaches explain how he did it.

Even without All-Star James Wood, the Nationals' lineup has continued to produce.

​After designating Zack Littell for assignment and trading All-Star left-hander Foster Griffin, the Nationals had an open rotation spot.

Getting other contributors is critical for the Nationals (59-61) as they enter the remaining 42 games on their schedule.

Jake Bird is recalled, the Nationals win an early game and the bullpen is stabilizing.

It’s imperative that Alvarez, 27, continue this string of performances. Given the pitching depth in the system that is nearly ready for the major leagues, this could be his best opportunity to show he can be a starter next season.

Washington won just its second game in the last 10 in the series opener.

Miles Mikolas allowed seven doubles and six runs on 12 hits over five innings Thursday night as the Nationals lost 7-3 at Philadelphia.

On Aug. 26, the Washington Nationals are celebrating their first African American Heritage Night. The organization has had Juneteenth and Negro Leagues celebrations, as well as Hispanic, Japanese and Salvadoran heritage nights.

The Nationals were 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position Tuesday, and are 3-for-46 in those situations on eight-game road trip.

“The fact I heard the doctor had to really look for it to find it is a good thing,” manager Blake Butera said.

Entering Monday, the Nationals’ bullpen had the fourth-lowest bullpen ERA, worst strikeout rate and the 10th-highest walk rate.

Losing Wood for an extended stretch would be a tremendous blow to the team’s playoff hopes.

“We’re going to continue to make the push and do everything we can to support them, and hopefully we’re playing really meaningful games late into next month, and then we’ll just see how it all shakes out,” the Nationals’ president of baseball operations said.
