The Washington Nationals blew an early three-run lead and fell to the Atlanta Braves 5 to 4 in the first game of an important eight-game road trip. Starting pitcher for the Braves was Grant Holmes. He has 6 wins and 4 losses for the year with a 3.79 ERA. Starting for the Nationals was Jake Irvin. He was activated off the 60-day injured list just before game time. He has 2 wins and 4 losses for the year with a 5.23 ERA. FYI, what’s kind of hard to figure out is this statistic:

The Washington Nationals held on for a very important victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a rain delayed Tuesday evening. This tied the series 1-1 with the 3rd game scheduled for tomorrow at 1:05. The Nationals started off strong in the bottom of the 1 st. Maybe that rain delay did them some good. James Wood walked and got to 2nd as Luis Garcia grounded out to 1st base. Dylan Crews also walked. CJ Abrams followed with an infield hit loading the bases. Keibert Ruiz walked sc

Friday, July 25th. The Washington Nationals fell short in the opener of an important three-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks, losing 3 to 2. Arizona started the scoring in the top of the 2nd. Max Kepler led off the inning with a double to center field. Tyler Locklear followed with a walk. The two were bunted to 2nd and 3rd by Adrian Del Castillo. Tim Tawa managed a bunt single that plated Kepler. Locklear then scored on a force out off the bat of Kete

Game three with the Rockies this afternoon. Series tied one each. We need this one for a winning road trip and to get back over .500. Cade Cavalli starting today for Washington. He’s doing well this year with a 6-4 win-loss record and a 3.78 ERA. Gabriel Hughes goes for Colorado. He’s only pitched 14.1 innings for the Rockies this season, with a 0-1 win-loss record and a 3.14 ERA. Hughes made his MLB debut on July 3rd of this year. It was a pitchers’ duel going into the top o

The National Football League training camps open up this weekend with the rookies reporting first and the veterans joining them a few days thereafter. With the beginning of training camps brings hope for all NFL Teams and their fans. Pro football is one of the few professional sports where teams annually finish last in their division, but rise up from the cellar the following season to win their Division, and as other teams in the past, have gone on to win the Super Bowl. Las

Game two of the Nationals – Rockies series. Starting pitcher for the Nats is Carson Palmquist. Season stats 0-1, 6.52 ERA. Starting pitcher for the Rockies is Michael Lorenzen. Season stats 3-9, 6.22 ERA. Could be quite a few runs in this one. Washington started off well as Jose Tena singled to center and scored when CJ Abrams smacked his 22nd home run over the center field fence. 2-0 Nationals. The Rockies got on the board and then some in the bottom of the 2nd. TJ Rumfield

Game time tonight is 8:40 ET at Coors Field in beautiful downtown Denver, Colorado. Andrew Alvarez, with 2 wins and 3 loses and an ERA of 4.04, is starting for the Nats. Kyle Freeland, who has been with the Rockies for all 10 of his MLB seasons, is starting tonight. He currently has a record of 2 wins and 8 losses with an ERA of 7.36. Believe me when I say Kyle has been through it all. Top of the 1st the Nationals are off and running with a walk to James Wood followed by a si

The Washington Nationals opened up a six-game road trip last night in Sacramento with a bang, scoring 23 runs in a rout of the A’s. This was the A’s 10th loss in a row, and, needless to say, it was a blow out. There were no runs until the top of the third when Curtis Mead’s double to left scored Nasim Nunez, who had singled, and Jacob Young, who had walked earlier in the inning. Andres Chaparro then knocked in Mead with a single to left. 3-0 Nats. The Nationals added a run in

Defense wins Championships‼️ It’s been said and proven many times before and it was certainly evident on Sunday in the New York New Jersey stadium as Spain shut out Argentina 1-0 to win it’s second FIFA World Cup Title since 2010. Spain’s Defense was invincible in this game and throughout the tournament, not allowing Argentina to attempt a single kick on goal in the entire game which includes regulation (90+ minutes) and 30 minutes of extra time added when the game was scorel

Argentina has an opportunity to be the first team since Brazil accomplished the feat in 1962 to win Back to Back World Cup titles, after an impressive come from behind victory to defeat England 2-1 and move onto the FIFA World Cup final. They take on a very good Spain team on Sunday afternoon at 3pm EST for the FIFA World Cup Championship. England got to the semifinal with wins over Dr Congo 2-1 Mexico 3-2 and Norway 2-1, and had defeated Argentina in 12 of their last 14 matc

From the starting line-ups walking through a replica of the Liberty Bell and signing their names on a lineup sheet made of parchment with a quill pen, to Ray Charles on the big screen singing “America the Beautiful”, the All-Star game was filled with a spectacular display of what America is all about. Kids riding bikes into the stadium and joining players on the field listening as Ray Charles sang. Stand Up to Cancer also had its moment of hope and remembrance. A fireworks di

Spain continued it’s recent Dominance over France to advance to the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday at 3pm EST vs the winner of England vs Argentina. France (#3) and Spain( #2) in the FIFA World Cup rankings, entered this semi final contest undefeated in the tournament.

The 2026 MLB Home Run hitting contest was so much fun and ended in dramatic fashion. I Hope you got to witness this fun event to start the Major League Baseball All Star festivities-- if not, here's what you missed. The annual MLB Home Run hitting contest had some changes this year with 8 hitters getting 20 swings in the first round and 15 in each of the final two rounds -- however a home run on your last swing each round would allow you another swing-- and after fourth year

Leading into the All-Star break, the New York Yankees, the Bronx Bombers came to Nationals Park for a 3 game series. The Yankees have been without Aaron Judge since May 31st and Giancarlo Stanton since April 24th. They’ve been through a rough stretch lately and have lost 11 of their last 14 games. But they’re still a formidable team and sit at 51-42 in the American League East, four games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. And now for game one… Ben Rice started things off for th

Going into tonight’s game, the Washington Nationals stood 3 ½ games out of a Wild Card slot. That might sound pretty decent until you realize there’s two teams ahead of us in that race to the playoffs. Let’s go, Nats… Foster Griffin, the ace of the pitching staff on the mound tonight for the home team . Good vibes… Washington started the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd after a couple of walks and a fly out left James Wood on third and Luis Garcia on first. CJ Abrams’ sac

The Washington Nationals started off their scoring in majestic fashion as All-Star James Wood homered to center field. His 25th of the season. We’re off to a grand beginning… Unfortunately, things quickly turned as the Astros tied it in the top of the 2nd after Christian Walker was hit by a pitch and later scored on a sac fly off the bat of Nick Allen. Game tied 1-1. Washington regained the lead in the bottom of the 3rd after James Wood walked and was sent to third base on

Miles Mikolas was able to start the game tonight for the Nationals even though he’s technically been suspended. His appeal hadn’t been answered as of game time. Cade Cavalli’s appeal did come through and his suspension was lowered from 7 games to 5, which is usually what happens. That means he won’t even miss a start. Doesn’t make much sense. What was the point of the suspension? Tonight’s attendance 11,092. Hold on…here we go! Top of the 1st, Isaac Paredes walked and Christi

The goal of every Country competing in the FIFA World Cup football tournament is to win - And to do so you must not only play well but also have luck on your side. The USA Men, ranked 17th in the world, did not play well and although they had several opportunities --luck was not on their side very long. Belgium ( ranked ninth in the world) ended the USA Mens dream with a crushing 4-1 defeat. Belgium plays Spain (1-0 winner over Portugal) on Friday in the Round of Eight in Los
