The Nats used another big 6th inning to take the lead in Kansas City on Saturday. After the 4-2 lead was secured, the bullpen shut down the Royals with five scoreless innings following Josiah Gray, who exited after only four innings.

Jeimer Candelario’s recent hot streak has him up to third in terms for fWAR among major league third baseman. Should the Nationals look to trade him while his value is high? Will they even entertain it?

Juan Soto made a return to DC on Tuesday night, taking it to his former team with a 3 for 4 performance that included a long homerun. CJ Abrams also homered against his former club, but ultimately it was not enough as the Nats fell by a score of 7 to 4.

The Patrick Corbin contract has been a mixed bag for the Nationals. In the short-term, that plan succeeded as Corbin was invaluable to the Nats' run to the World Series title. However, Corbin suddenly declined and has been awful ever since, until recently

Close losses to begin the week led to a strong weekend for the Washington Nationals. A sweep against the Miami Marlins and the worst baseball Washington has played all year brought the team and fans back to earth. Two wins versus Detroit restored morale.

The Nationals rallied from a Friday night loss to the Tigers, their fourth consecutive loss, to win both games on Saturday and Sunday for the series win. The Nationals tallied 18 hits on Sunday w five different players recording multi-hit games.

Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin notched yet another quality start in a 5-3 win against the Detroit TIgers

Earlier in the week, we highlighted how well 26-year-old right-handed starter Jake Irvin has pitched to begin his major league career. On Friday night, Irvin had a much different fate. Although they battled late, they still lost 8-6 to the Tigers.

The Washington Nationals have signed former Kansas City Royals outfielder Franmil Reyes to a Minor League Contract.

The Nationals were looking to avoid the sweep on Thursday afternoon at the hands of the Marlins but were unable to do so as their late inning rally fell short and the Marlins secured the win and the series sweep by a score of 5 to 3.

The Nats found themselves on the wrong side of a one run game against the Marlins for the second day in a row, both games due to Jorge Soler. This time Soler homered earlier in the game, which I suppose is slightly easier to handle than a walkoff.

Raise your hand if you thought Jake Irvin would be in the big leagues this early in the season. When Chad Kuhl landed on the 15-day injured list, Washington promoted the 26-year-old Irvin from Triple-A Rochester. So far, he looks like he belongs.

If the Nats first game in Miami this season was any indication of the games to come between the two teams, they are in for a dog fight. After the Nats scored 3 in the 8th to take the lead, the Marlins scored 3 of their own in the 9th to walk off the Nats.

Mason Thompson took the Nationals' world by storm in the month of April, pitching to a sub 1 ERA and sub 1 WHIP. Since then? It has been rough. What happened to the Nationals bullpen ace?

A week filled with wins and a questionable rain delay made for quite the week for Nationals fans. Washington began their week in San Fransisco and wrapped it up versus New York at home. Who led the lineup to four wins this week?

To close the Mets series, the Nats had 15 hits and SEVEN of them were for extra bases - unheard of in this day in age of Nationals baseball! They also went 5 for 12 with runners in scoring position, which was a key force in their 10 to 3 win.

The Nationals split a doubleheader on Sunday against the division rival Mets, but it was CJ Abrams who provided multiple positive signs throughout the day.

When the Nationals agreed to an eight-year new contract with catcher Keibert Ruiz over the offseason, they anointed him as the arguable face of the franchise for the foreseeable future. There are clear reasons to like him, but he's far from a finished pro

The Nats dropped the first game to the Mets on Friday night 3 to 2. On a night the offense really struggled, the pitching needed to be perfect in order to win and understandably so, was not. The Mets scored 3 runs in the 6th and that was all they needed.

The Nationals are enjoying a bit of success lately, playing winning baseball over their last 20 or so games. That leads to the question: who will be around past the trade deadline? Here are 3 players that are safe and 2 that will be gone.
