Ryan Zimmerman's three-run homer rallies Washington Nationals past Philadelphia Phillies
Express-Times — The third baseman hit his ninth-inning shot off closer Brad Lidge
Philadelphia Phillies 12 mins agoAdam Dunn in the Nationals lineup
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — Less than two hours before the trade deadline, Adam Dunn is in the Nationals lineup. That does not guarantee he'll still be a National be the end of the day -- the Nats whited-out Cristian Guzman's name yesterday. Still, it's worth noting. Here's the full order: Nationals 1. Nyjer Morgan, CF 2. Adam Kennedy, 2B 3. Ryan Zimmerman, 3B 4. Adam Dunn, 1B 5. Josh Willingham, LF 6. Roger Bernadina, RF 7. Ivan Rodriguez, C 8. Ian Desmond, SS 9. Ross Detwiler, SP Phillies 1.

Washington Nationals 9 hours agoTim Hudson Was Simply Outstanding
Nats320 — Since baseball returned to this nation's capital, few pitchers have dominated Our Washington Nationals quite like Tim Hudson. He's most always been outstanding and tonight was no different at Nationals Park. If not for The Atlanta Braves starter walking Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the bottom of the 8th with Adam Dunn stepping to the plate in a two-run game, Hudson might well have gone the distance on this most humid and most uncomfortable of outdoor evenings.Atlanta's Number One Starter finishing off 23 Washington Batters this evening before being relieved by The Braves Closer-In-Waiting,...
Washington Nationals July 29, 2010Game 96 discussion thread: Nationals at Reds
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — Sorry for the late start here. The Nationals already lead 1-0 against Edinson Volquez without the benefit of a hit -- Nyjer Morgan led with a walk, stole second, moved to third on a sac fly by Roger Bernadina (a minor controversy because Morgan may have left early) and scored on a tapper to first by Ryan Zimmerman. Livan Hernandez just retired the Reds in the bottom of the first while allowing just one hit, a single. As a matter of housekeeping, Josh Willingham is off today just as a breather. He's fine. Since it's a day game and I'll assume many are trapped in the office, I'll try to provide ...
Washington Nationals July 22, 2010Game 95 discussion thread: Nationals at Reds
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — For Stephen Strasburg so far, a bad outing has constituted something like early command problems leading to him allowing two earned runs over five innings. "For him," Ryan Zimmerman joked, "that's unacceptable." Eventually, though, won't Strasburg have an honest-to-goodness, full-fledged, just plain bad start? Isn't that ineveitable? "Nobody's ever not done that," Manager Jim Riggleman said. "Everbody who's ever pitched has had a day where you just didn't have a feel for it. The ball wasn't coming out of their hand good. Whatever reason, they had a day like that. Nolan Ryan all the way through...
Washington Nationals July 21, 2010Josh Johnson, three relievers combine for Marlins' 2-0 shutout of Nationals
Palm Beach Post — Reliever Jose Veras and Marlins catcher Ronny Paulino decided it would be a "safe" pitch. With a 3-0 count on Nationals slugger Ryan Zimmerman, two runners on base and the Marlins clinging to a two-run lead in the seventh inning, Veras threw a hard slider down and in on Zimmerman.

Washington Nationals July 13, 2010Today's lineups
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — The Nationals have given Stephen Strasburg a degree of difficulty in order to pick up his third victory. With Josh Willingham, Ian Desmond and Ivan Rodriguez out of the lineup, the Nationals have an unusual bottom half of their lineup, including Cristian Guzman batting fifth and WIllie Harris batting sixth. With Wil Nieves behind the plate, this is the first time anyone other than Pudge will catch Strasburg. Nationals 1. Nyjer Morgan, CF 2. Roger Bernadina, RF 3. Ryan Zimmerman, 3B 4. Adam Dunn, 1B 5.

Washington Nationals July 11, 2010Game 86 discussion thread: Padres at Nationals
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — The Nationals will try for their first sweep of San Diego since 2003, when the franchise was still in Montreal. It's been nearly a month since Washington has swept a series. The last time it did was June 8-10 against Pittsburgh. A sweep against the Padres, however, would be much more impressive. The Pirates have the fewest wins (30) in the National League. The Padres, meantime, are 49-35, in first place in the NL West and trying to avoid just their second three-game losing streak this season. The Nationals have 13 runs and 20 hits over the past two games against San Diego. Ryan Zimmerman had a...
Washington Nationals July 8, 2010Ryan Zimmerman finishes second in final All-Star vote
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman fell just short in his bid to make a second straight All-Star team, finishing runner-up to Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto in the four-day fan voting for the 34th and final spot. Votto led the final fan voting from wire-to-wire and finished with 13.7 million total votes, the most among any of the final candidates. The Yankees' Nick Swisher beat out Boston's Kevin Youklis, among others, for the final spot on the AL team. Zimmerman is hitting .296 with 16 home runs and 47 RBI and is on the short list of best fielders in the game at his position. Votto, ...

- Game 104 discussion thread: Nationals vs. Phillies Nationals Journal | Washington Post Their roster intact, the Nationals will try continue one of their best stretches this season. As Ross Detwiler makes his second start this year, the Nationals have won three of four at Nationals Park against National League favorites. They'll face right-handed Joe Blanton. Adam Dunn received a large ovation when announced as the first baseman. The Nationals have been through a hectic week and still played in top form. It's a gorgeous, comfortable night and the park is packed with loud fans -- both Phillies and Nationals supporters. So take a deep breath and talk about the game right here. ...
- Nationals introduce Yunesky Maya Nationals Journal | Washington Post On Friday afternoon, Livan Hernandez chatted with Phillies reliever Jose Contreras, two pitchers closer to 40 years old than 30 who had come from Cuba to America and become wealthy and free men. Hernandez mentioned Yunesky Maya, the 28-year-old Cuban right-handed pitcher the Nationals were about to sign. Contreras remembered. Yes, that was him. Maya had been a bat boy for the team Hernandez and Contreras played on together in Cuba's highest baseball league. "So now here we are," Hernandez said Saturday evening. He sat two seats from Maya, impeccably dressed in suit and gray tie, at a dais erec...
- Stephen Strasburg will throw Sunday Nationals Journal | Washington Post Currently on the disabled list with inflammation in his one-in-a-million right shoulder, Stephen Strasburg will play catch Sunday for the first time since the Nationals scratched him from his start Tuesday night. The catch will be on flat ground and "not real long," Manager Jim Riggleman said. Strasburg will travel with the Nationals to Arizona and play long toss Monday. He'll take the day off from throwing Tuesday, and on Wednesday he'll throw a bullpen session that could help determine how soon he gets off the disabled list. Strasburg is eligible to come off the DL Aug. 6. "I think he's prob...
- Nationals GM Mike Rizzo on not trading Adam Dunn Nationals Journal | Washington Post Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo met the media. Here, as the Nationals are about to officially introduce Cuban right-hander Yunesky Maya, is full transcript: On why Adam Dunn wasn't traded: "The reason we didn't trade Adam Dunn is we never got a deal we thought was equal or greater value to Adam Dunn. We were on the receiving end of the calls. We weren't making the calls. We got a lot of interest in Adam. We just didn't see an equal return to what Adam Dunn brings to the ball club on and off the field." On how close they came: "We never made a deal." On how close the deadline the Nats were...
- The gamble the Nationals take with an unsigned, un-traded Adam Dunn Nationals Journal | Washington Post As 4 p.m. approached and the Nationals clubhouse had cleared out aside from a few players, Willie Harris counted down along with the clock on the clubhouse television. "Twenty seconds!" he said. Adam Dunn's name was in the lineup. "Fifteen seconds!" Josh Willingham stood by, smiling and watching the television. Weeks of speculation, days packed with swirling rumors, were about to unravel into the status quo. "Ten seconds!" The price for Adam Dunn, General Manager Mike Rizzo, had said the day before, would remain high and not come down a bit at the deadline. The Chicago White Sox had offered Ed...
