Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Phillies blew another one – this time to the Washington Nationals. Cristopher Sánchez barely got through 6.1 innings before being lifted in the 7th inning with two on and one out. Enter Jonathan Bowlan, who has been running on fumes for the last month. And on his first pitch… Phillies lose. The lineup is […] The post Even the Camera in the Phillies’ TV Booth Had Enough of This Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Nats get a chance to play spoiler in a midweek showdown with the Phillies. After a sweep of the Angels, the boys are riding high. However, they will be facing tougher opposition this week. The Nats will need to avoid some of the mistakes and tighten things up if they want another sweep. For […]
Here are the lineups for the first game of two in Washington. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Nationals:
The Phillies will say goodbye to another divisional opponent this week, as they travel to Washington for their final series against the Nationals in 2026. It’s been another fortuitous season for Philadelphia against their rivals from the nation’s capital. This year, the Phillies are 8-3 against Washington, continuing a trend of recent dominance. Since 2020, […]
With only 11 games to go and the Nats officially eliminated from playoff contention, we are officially in the home stretch. It would be easy to just play out the string here, but I do think there is one major goal the Nats should look to accomplish. They should make it their mission to beat […]
Now the team's assistant pitching coach, the data-savvy former closer is helping implement a new approach in the nation's capital.
Could the Washington Nationals trade CJ Abrams or Dylan Crews this coming offseason? Here's what we're thinking could be on their winter agenda.
It took the Nationals until the 11th day in September to get their 2nd win of the month, but they proceeded to sweep the Los Angeles Angels in a 3-game series to boost morale going into the last 2 weeks of the 2026 season. All 3 games were decided by just 1 run, but a […]
It’s clear what the Phillies’ strength is: The starting rotation. They get a good outing from their starter about 80% of the time. They also have a good closer in Jhoan Duran, provided that the game is not tied when he enters. It’s those innings in between that have proven difficult for the Phillies to […]
Nationals fans all know that Keibert Ruiz has had a great season. He has risen from the ashes to become one of the more productive catchers in the league. In a season full of offensive success stories, Ruiz is arguably the biggest organizational win. However, I still don’t think Ruiz is being talked about enough. […]
As we finish off this season, players are looking to establish themselves and make statements entering 2027. That is especially true on the mound, where there are only a few guys who have locked down spots for next season. One pitcher who has impressed in his late season audition is Riley Cornelio and I wanted […]
Eli Willits has made his primary goal crystal clear ever since he joined the Nationals organization. He wants to be a big leaguer by the time he is 20 years old. For most players, that is a pipe dream. However, Eli Willits is not most players and he made that very obvious this season. The […]
The late innings have not been a fun time for the Nationals this season. However, that changed this weekend. The Nats overcame blown leads and actually found a way to mount offense and carry the day. They took advantage of a weak Angels bullpen and did just enough to get three one-run wins this weekend. […]
Former Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo and longtime Athletics assistant GM Billy Owens have both interviewed by the A’s for their full-time general manager position, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports. Rizzo and Owens join James Click as the only candidates linked to the job thus far, though it isn’t clear if Click has […]
After winning two close games, the Nats have secured a series win against the Angels. This afternoon, they will be looking for the sweep and a chance to get to 70 wins on the season. The Nats have had trouble getting sweeps this season, but this is a prime opportunity. There are a couple changes […]
We all know that Cade Cavalli is a top of the rotation arm who offers Nats fans a glimpse of what quality pitching looks like. However, there is another arm that is emerging behind him that is doing that as well. Andrew Alvarez is not Cade Cavalli, but he has been rock solid and is […]
The Washington Nationals bullpen blowing games is nothing new and we saw that today. However, the offense bailing out the bullpen and fighting back in the late innings was something different. That fight late in the game helped the Nats get their second walk off win of the season and win the series against the […]

With a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks dropping the final game of their series against the Kansas City Royals, the San […]
The Washington Nationals may not reach the postseason this year, but James Wood and CJ Abrams have still performed well. In fact, Wood and Abrams became the second pair of teammates who are 25 years old or younger to record 30 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases in a season, according […] The post How Nationals’ CJ Abrams, James Wood just joined Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor in MLB history appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Nats snapped a 7 game losing streak with a tight 4-3 win last night. Now they will look to build off that and claim a series win. They have actually been playing fairly well at home and will seek to continue that. The offense will have a tough task against an underrated young pitcher. […]
