Latest news and updates about the Nationals
After a rough last half-plus of the homestand at the plate, the Dodgers in three days resurrected their offense against the Washington Nationals, ushering in a weekend sweep to secure a second winning week in a row. Beginning with a really good Friday in Washington D.C., the Dodgers battered Nationals starters in the first two […]
I’m not a huge fan of the Nationals or the Rockies. They’re bad teams that are annoying to watch, but the Phillies need to play them thanks to the MLB schedule. This past week, the Phillies were supposed to win a series against each team, yet were only able to accomplish that against one of […]
The Cubs had three home runs in this game, the second time they’ve gone deep three times in the early going in 2026. Matt Shaw, Dansby Swanson and Ian Happ homered for the Cubs. Unfortunately, the result was the same as the other time they homered three times (a 6-3 loss to the Nationals). This […]
The Dodgers began their road trip in a similar fashion as their first home series, with a comeback win to complete a three-game sweep. This time it came against the Washington Nationals as the Dodgers scored seven unanswered runs and erased a five-run deficit to win 8-6. It took a two hour and 15 minute […]
The Dodgers wrap things up in our nation’s capitol against the Washington Nationals on Sunday, looking to earn a three-game sweep. Roki Sasaki makes his second start of the season against left-hander Foster Griffin. SUNDAY GAME INFO
The Dodgers have their first rain delay of the season, with the start of their series finale against the Washington Nationals delayed by rain at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. The originally planned start time for Sunday was 1:35 p.m. ET, with rain expected to last well into the 2 p.m. hour locally. The game […]
The Nats have been unable to stop the Dodgers lineup so far this series. They will get one more opportunity to solve the puzzle that is the Dodgers lineup this afternoon. Due to weather, the game will be delayed, but the forecast should clear up later in the afternoon. Despite his struggles, Blake Butera is […]
CJ Abrams is off to a hot start, and has homered for three straight games. Hot starts are nothing new for Abrams. The last couple years he has come into seasons really locked in. This year is no different. Hopefully Abrams can show more consistency this year, and I am bullish on that. It is […]
The Dodgers got their second straight blowout win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday, but will be without shortstop Mookie Betts for a little bit. Betts left the game with lower right back pain in the first inning, and will be sent for an MRI exam to determine the severity. Betts walked and scored in […]
Tyler Glasnow makes his second start of the season for the Dodgers (5-2). Right-hander Jake Irvin starts for the Nationals (3-4). Saturday game info
After a deflating blow out loss yesterday, the Nats have to get back on track. That will not be easy against the mighty Dodgers. Hopefully the Nats pitching can give them a better chance of success this afternoon. The Nats have had a mostly positive start, but the vibes will turn sour if this losing […]
The first week of the season was somewhat miserable for corners of the fanbase. It didn’t help that they didn’t win their opening series against the Rangers, losing it in quite bizarre fashion. Outside of a furious comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, they almost lost the series to them as well, meaning people […]
The unit of the universe is the atom. The unit of a baseball game, however, is the moment. A season is comprised of series, which are comprised of games, which are comprised of innings, which are comprised of plate appearances, which are comprised of pitches and the subsequent swing decisions, and all that results. You’ve […]
If you watched yesterday’s game, one thing stuck out like a sore thumb, and that was the ineffectiveness of Miles Mikolas. After two great innings to start the game, the veteran got tattooed, allowing a club record 11 earned runs. That begs the question, how long will Blake Butera and Paul Toboni stick with the […]
It all started so well, but the Nats dreams of winning the home opener collapsed quickly, as the Dodgers lineup showed why they are elite. The Nats were up 3-0 after two innings thanks to a CJ Abrams homer, but the Dodgers turned that into an 11-4 deficit in what felt like a blink of […]
After struggling mightily on offense in their last series and really in the last four-plus games of the homestand, the Dodgers were understandably confident that their star-studded lineup would get things going. Facing Miles Mikolas helped, as the Dodgers torched the right-hander for four home runs in a 13-6 win over the Washington Nationals on […]
Dodgers’ first road game of the season is the Washington Nationals’ home opener. Friday game info
After a mixed bag of results during their 6-game stretch on the road to open the 2026 season, the Nationals finally head home for their opening series at Nationals Park. Playing host to the 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, they are faced with an exciting matchup for their first time playing in front […]
The middle game of Dodgers-Nationals has the latest game time of the weekend, with a 4:05 p.m. local time start at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. Tyler Glasnow makes his second start of the season after allowing two runs in six innings with six strikeouts against the Arizona Diamondbacks last Saturday at Dodger Stadium. This […]
The Nats are going to be tested right out of the gates in their home opening series. There is no bigger challenge than facing the back to back World Series champions. That is what the Nats will do when they square off with the Dodgers. Here are three things I will be watching. Can the […]
It has only been two starts, and neither of them have been dominant, but Cade Cavalli is showing exactly why the Nats are so high on him. Through 9.2 innings, Cavalli has posted a 2.79 ERA with 8 strikeouts and a .229 opponents batting average. He has also shown us the stuff that makes people […]
Even after yesterday’s heartbreaking loss, the Nats have had a positive start to the season. If you told me they would be 3-3 heading into the home opener before the season started, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. However, one offseason decision already looks like it is backfiring on Paul Toboni. That would […]
The Dodgers’ first road game of the 2026 season comes in the nation’s capital, battling the Washington Nationals on Friday afternoon at Nationals Park. It’s the home opener for the Nats, with a daytime start to open the weekend series. Emmet Sheehan starts the series opener on Friday, looking to rebound from his first start […]
The Washington Nationals suffered their first truly heartbreaking loss of the season. They had a 5-1 lead in the 7th inning, but could not finish off the Phillies. The veteran laden Phillies took advantage of the young Nats issuing walks and making mistakes in the field. Blake Butera’s bunch fought, but they could not finish. […]
After the Nats dominated in game one, the Phillies pulled out a close one in game two. Now it is time for a rubber match in Philly. Both teams will have their aces on the mound, so this should be a good one. The Nats are looking for their second straight series win to open […]
