INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is refusing to retreat from one of the most politically charged debates in American sports, standing by her position that transgender women should not compete in women’s athletics even as criticism, protests and an increasingly bitter WNBA culture fight surround her. Cunningham’s argument has been straightforward: she wants women’s sports protected on the basis of biological sex while maintaining that transgender people des

The Washington Nationals relied on some great relief pitching and timely hits to defeat the visiting Colorado Rockies 7 to 1. The two teams ended up splitting their four-game series. Washington starting pitcher Jake Irwin had a little trouble in the top of the 1st. He managed to walk the bases loaded, but the defense helped him out and the Rockies failed to score. The Nationals, however, did score a couple in the bottom of the inning. CJ Abrams and Dyland Crews started it off

In their first preseason game with the Dolphins, the Commanders controlled the line of scrimmage; that was not the case in their 17 - 13 loss to the Detroit Lions on Saturday August 22, in Detroit. The exhibition game could not have started any better for the Commanders. On the Lions’ initial series following the Kick off, Commanders Linebacker, Amik Robertson, forced a fumble when he came untouched on a blitz off the Left side and found a clear path to the Lions’ Quarterback

It’s getting kind of tough to watch… The Washington Nationals fell to the lowly Colorado Rockies 13 to 1 this evening in an obvious total blow out. The Nationals recorded their only run in tonight’s game when Andres Chaparro led off the bottom of the 2nd with his 9th home run. 1-0 Nats. The rest of the evening was all Colorado… The Rockies took the lead in the top of the 5th. Connor Norby led off the inning with a walk and came home courtesy of Troy Johnston’s 4th homer to ri

After yesterday’s thirteen-run outburst, things got back to normal in tonight’s game against the Colorado Rockies, as the Washington Nationals could only muster a single run on four hits, while striking out ten times. Colorado snapped their seven-game losing streak with tonight’s victory. The Rockies started the scoring in the top of the 4th as Hunter Goodman led off with a 432 ft. home run, his 35th, to center field. Goodman returned to the Rockies’ lineup tonight after spen

The Washington Nationals broke out of their offensive slump in a big way with a 13-3 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies got another run in the top of the 5th when Ezequiel Tovar hit his 10th home run to center field. 2-0 Colorado. But the Nationals came back with a vengeance. They led off t

LOS ANGELES — The NBA is pushing back forcefully against an ESPN report claiming investigators found no evidence that Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer used team sponsors to funnel money to Kawhi Leonard in an effort to evade the league’s salary cap. The unusually public disagreement between the NBA and its biggest sports-media partner has injected fresh uncertainty into an investigation that has followed the Clippers and Leonard for nearly a year. ESPN reported on Aug

Friday, August 21st After leading most of the game, then losing the late lead, the Washington Nationals used a clutch hit in the ninth off the bat of Daylen Lile to tie the game with the Marlins. Then Miami closed it out in the bottom of the inning. Another tough loss for the Nats, but that’s just the way it’s been these past few weeks. Both teams started off slow, as neither ballclub scored during the first five innings. Brad Lord, Wil Dion, and Orlando Ribalta combined to s

Jacob deGrom pitched 6 scoreless innings for the Texas Rangers, surrendering only a single to Brady House in the second inning. deGrom walked just 1 batter and struck out 11. The Rangers scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd, as Corey Seager hit his 13th home run to center field. 1-0 Texas.

The Washington Commanders played an outstanding game giving up just 7 points in their first exhibition game of the season, defeating the Dolphins on Friday, August 14, 20 – 7. The Dolphins scored their only points in the game on their opening drive, as they marched down the field, aided by 2 penalties and a spectacular one handed catch by Wide Receiver Caleb Douglas, on a pass from newly acquired Quarterback Malik Willis, to score a touchdown and their only points of the game

The Washington Nationals fell flat in the series opener tonight in Arlington, Texas. Three Ranger pitchers combined to shut down the Nats, 5-0. The Nats started off the top of the 1st with a double from CJ Abrams. That broke Abrams’ three-game hitless streak. But the next three batters didn’t deliver. The Rangers scored in the bottom of the inning as Wyatt Langford singled to center and went to 3rd on Corey Seager’s single to right. Jake Burger then scored Langford with a

Friday, August 14th After an encouraging showing against the Cubs last night, our Washington Nationals looked anything but encouraging tonight against the Mets. The Nationals managed only 5 hits and their 1 run was courtesy of a Mets’ error. Robert Stock started for the Mets. He performed quite well considering his 0-2 record and 10.12 ERA at the beginning of the night. Stack lasted 4 1/3 innings giving up 3 hits and 0 earned runs with 3 walks and 5 strike outs. Four reliever

Cade Cavalli pitched a masterpiece in this afternoon’s game, going 8 innings and giving up a single hit, while walking 2 and striking out 10. Cavalli surrendered only a bloop single to left field in the 7th inning off the bat of Cubs’ first baseman, Michael Busch. Chicago’s starter Kevin Gausman pitched into the 5th inning before the Nationals finally got their offense going. Neither team had a base runner through the first 3 innings. Only the second time that had happened in

The road to the NFL regular season begins under the lights as teams take the field for their first exhibition test of the season. After 2 weeks of training camp the teams in the National Football League begin playing the first of their 3 exhibition games this week in preparation for the 2026 -27 regular season that begins on Wednesday September 9th . The excitement commences when the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of Super Bowl LX won by the

Well, that little bit of momentum the Nationals thought they had after a three-game sweep of the Reds has come to a screeching halt with their second straight loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs. The Nationals actually started off the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd. Harry Ford singled to right and was followed by another single off the bat of Andrew Pinckney. Jacob Young hit into a force out that moved the runners up a base. Daylen Lile then ran out an infield single scoring

The Washington Nationals’ 3-game winning streak came to an end courtesy of the visiting Chicago Cubs. Each team slugged 3 home runs but the Cubs scored more total runs and went on to win the game 8 to 6. The game turned into a contest between their relief pitchers and ours. Each team used 4 hurlers from the bull pen. There’s were just a little better. The Nationals started fast in the bottom of the 1st. With 2 outs, Brady House singled to right field. CJ Abrams followed with

Friday, August 7th The Washington Nationals combined good fielding, hitting, and pitching for a 5-3 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Cade Cavalli got the win for the Nats, going 6 innings and giving up 7 hits and 3 runs with 8 strike outs. All the scoring for the Reds was courtesy of 3 solo home runs. Washington had a great performance from three relievers. A welcomed change. Yovanny Cruz, Orlando Ribalta, and Clayton Beeter shut out Cincinnati over the last 3 innin

The Washington Nationals finished a disastrous road trip through Atlanta and Philadelphia winning only yesterday’s game and losing the other seven. The journey started with an outside chance of making the playoffs, and ended with two starting infielders and their ace pitcher playing for different teams, and one of their All-Star outfielders on the injured list. Miles Mikolas took the mound tonight for the Nationals. He’s 3 and 9 for the year with a 5.89 ERA. Christopher Sanch

There are very few professional sports that created an infrastructure which by it’s very nature allows a team to go worst to first in a single season. Last season the New England Patriots did just that by winning their Division and the American Football Conference before losing 29-13 in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks. Since 2002 with the new format, (8 - four team Divisions) twenty-seven teams have risen from last place to win their Division the following year. You mig

Game three tonight of a four-game series with the Phillies. Start time delayed about 20 minutes due to weather concerns.

Abimelec Ortiz then singled to right, sending Abra

It just keeps getting worse for the Nationals. James Wood was placed on the 10-day injured list before tonight’s game after straining his left oblique while at-bat in last night’s game vs. the Phillies. An MRI showed a mild strain, and manager Blake Butera was hoping Wood would return soon. And the losing streak continued with the Nationals going down with barely a whimper in tonight’s game against the Phillies. Carson Palmquist started tonight for the Nats. He has and 0-5 re

The Washington Nationals began a 4-game series tonight in Philadelphia against the Phillies. They took an early lead but couldn’t hold it. Kind of a recurring theme for the Nats. Final score: Philadelphia 6 Washington 3. Andrew Alvarez started tonight for the Nationals. He has a 2-win 3-loss record with a 4.06 ERA. Starting for the Phillies was Aaron Nola. He’s 3 and 9 for the season with an ERA of 5.61. The Nationals struck early in the top of the 1st as Abimelec Ortiz hit h

Game two tonight in the important four-game series in Atlanta didn’t go as planned. The Washington Nationals fell again to the Atlanta Braves 6 to 2. Between an off night from ace pitcher Foster Griffin and a lack of hits with men on base, the Nationals lost their 2nd in a row to the Braves with 2 more games to go in the series. The Nationals’ leading pitcher Foster Griffin started on the mound. He had an impressive 12-win 2- loss record with a 2.76 ERA. Bryce Elder started f

The National Football League training camps began this week with each team having a maximum of 90 players in camp looking to be on their team’s 53 man active roster in week 1 of this 2026 season. The 90 player’s on each team begin camp competing against each other in hope of impressing their coaches and earning a spot on the opening day roster. After 2 weeks of practice, teams begin playing exhibition games against an opponent whose players have similar aspirations, compet

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

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

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

Two Homes Runs from Garica and Lile Lead Nats to Victory Five Washington home runs led the way as our Nationals won the first of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-5 on Friday afternoon.

Curtis Mead, batting second, tripled to center field. He was followed by Andres Chaparros’ 1st home run of the season. The score stayed that way until the Nats broke things open in the top of the 4th. Nasim Nunez launched his 1st career home run to center field. A single by Drew M

Cade Cavalli is celebrating his best start ever: 7 innings of 1 hit ball with 13 strikeouts and 0 walks. However, his second strikeout victim of the night, Willson Contrerras, evidently didn’t appreciate something Cade said to him after the K and started walking toward the Nationals’ pitcher. A bench clearing near-brawl ensued leading to the ejections of Contreras, Boston’s interim manager Chad Tracy, Boston outfielder Nate Eaton, and Washington pitcher Miles Mikolas. Lucky f

The Washington Nationals' two-game winning streak came to an end tonight with a 6-3 loss to the Red Sox in Boston. The game started with a bang for the visiting team as the National’s James Wood led off the top of the 1st with his 21st home run. That lead didn’t last long as the Red Sox tallied three in the bottom of the inning courtesy of a three-run homer by Willson Contreras (his 18th) after singles from Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu. Caleb Durbin added a solo shot l

Luis Garcia Jr. had a game to remember, going 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and 5 runs batted in, leading the Nationals to a 6-4 victory and a series win in Baltimore. The Washington Nationals’ star now has 5 home runs in his last 6 games. The scoring started off with Pete Alonso’s two-run shot in the bottom of the 1st giving the Birds an early lead. Garcia Jr. knocked in his first two runs with a double in the top of the 3rd. He later scored on a throwing error. Nats up 3-2.

The Washington Nationals defeated the Baltimore Orioles in ten-innings, due partly to some half-way decent relief pitching and a throw from the infield cutting down a base runner at home that would have tied the game. The Nats opened the scoring in their half of the 2nd with Jorbit Vivas’s single driving in Daylen Lile who had doubled earlier in the inning. The Orioles tied it up in the bottom half of the 2nd courtesy of a single by Chadwick Tromp, scoring Blaze Alexander

The Washington Nationals lost to the Baltimore Orioles Friday night at Camden Yards, 3- 1. The Nats have now lost four in a row and seven out of their last ten. Washington fell a game under .500 and are now nine games behind the division leading Atlanta Braves. Trevor Rogers had a great start for the Birds, pitching into the seventh inning, giving up one run and allowing five hits. Rogers struck out seven and did not walk a batter. The game remained scoreless until the bottom

Tonight, for the third game in a row, the Washington Nationals jumped out to an early lead over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The real test was turning that early lead into a victory. Curtis Mead’s solo home run (14) in the bottom of the 1st started things off for the Nats. Daley Lile’s rbi single later in the inning knocked in Andres Chaparro who was on first after being plunked by a pitch and then sent to 3rd on Dylan Crews’ single. Crews then scored on Jacob Young’s

Once again, the Nationals’ relief pitchers couldn’t hold a late inning lead, giving up two runs in the top of the 9th leading to a 5-4 victory by the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The Nationals got off to a fast start with solo homeruns in the first two innings. Luis Garcia hit his 13th homer in the bottom of the first, and Jorbit Vivas contributed his 3rd in the bottom of the second. 2-0 Washington.
