Padres right-hander Ron Marinaccio hit Henderson with the first pitch of an at-bat, which occurred with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and San Diego leading by six.

The 7-3 victory extended the Nationals' winning streak to three games and pushed them three games above .500 for the first time since 2019 when they won the World Series.

As the NFL settles into its summer break, here’s a look at how the Baltimore Ravens could set their initial 53-man roster.

Many of Baltimore’s wounds have been self-inflicted.

Lile’s defensive improvements allow him to add more value even when he’s not raking. He’s almost eclipsed his FanGraphs wins above replacement total from last season (1.4) in 22 fewer games (1.3).

Over the last few months, Ryan Helsley's daughter Tatum underwent cochlear implant surgery on both ears. Helsley, in the middle of his first season with the Orioles, departed the club for three days to be with his family during the operations.

The Nationals improved to 37-35 overall and 14-21 at home. They’ve won three straight series after being swept against the Marlins at the beginning of the month.

Jeremiah Jackson hit a solo homer for the Orioles. Trevor Rogers took the loss despite allowing only two runs in six innings.

Luis García Jr.’s two-run homer reenergized the team and the fans after two demoralizing losses.

Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor hit two-run homers in the first inning, and three more San Diego batters went deep as the Padres rolled.

The U.S. men's national team will face Australia at 3 p.m. June 19 in its second World Cup match.

The Nationals fell to 12-21 at home with their 10-2 loss.

Gunnar Henderson hit a capping homer in a 7-3 blistering of San Diego starter Griffin Canning, giving the Orioles their third straight win.

COLUMN | Craig Albernaz holds Samuel Basallo to a high standard and hasn’t always waited for private moments to do so. It’s not about Albernaz, but he certainly knows that turning Basallo into a consistent, high-level catcher would reflect well on him and his staff, and make the Orioles good for a decade.

COLUMN | There's much we don't know about the Ravens, but the trend is promising.

COLUMN | Tyler Loop may feel emotionally healed from a dramatic failure in Pittsburgh, but that’s not enough reassurance for the Ravens to make him the unquestioned starter.

“Timing is everything,” said Andrew Mintze, a Baltimore man who is taking paid time off to play for the DC Defenders in the United Bowl. “If you’re going to spend it, you spend it at the right time.”

Rutschman’s stat line in his first start of the homestand: 2-for-3 with a double, single, walk and three RBIs.

COLUMN | Leody Taveras' .726 OPS for the season is good value for an Orioles team that has needed everything he does on and off the field.
