D3 Nats come out flat against Indians nationals from D1
The Nationals arrived in Cleve- land surging, one game under .500, their first sweep of the sea- son only a few hours old. In their first two games against the Indi- ans, the Nationals have sunk three games under .500 while be- ing outscored, 14-3, by the team with the third-worst record in the American League. The Nationals’ good news is that baseball people believe momentum means the next day’s starter, and Strasburg will make the second start of his career Sunday. The Nationals’ offense has
sputtered, but on Saturday night Carmona’s three-hit complete game provided an honest excuse. His sinker touched 95 mph, lived in the lower portion of the strike zone and induced a mound of harmless grounders. Carmona struck out seven to go with just five fly ball outs and 14 ground- outs and walked none. Through seven innings, the Na- tionals sent the minimum 21 hit- ters to the batter’s box. Adam Kennedy singled with one in the third, only to be erased on a dou- ble play started by Wil Nieves’s grounder to third. Roger Berna- dina led off the sixth with an in- field single, but Kennedy prompt- ly followed with a Fungo ground- er to second that started a 4-6-3 double play. Ryan Zimmerman scored the
Nationals’ only run, leading off the eighth by scorching a solo home run to left. By that point, the Nationals had already dug too deep a deficit to even hope for a comeback against Carmona. The Indians started in the first

inning. With Shin-Soo Choo on first and one out, Carlos Santana rolled a ground ball to Kennedy’s left. Kennedy fielded the ball, spun and fired to Cristian Guz- mán. The ball sailed wide and trickled away, the throwing error sending Choo to third. Travis Hafner’s ensuing sacrifice fly scored an unearned run, the lat- est of many. The Nationals have committed 29 errors in their last 23 games, gaffes that have led to an aston- ishing 27 unearned runs. The flood of errors has cranked the Nationals’ total to 57, far and away the most in the majors. For the second straight game, it was Kennedy’s defense that cost the Nationals. Normally steady, he has four errors in his last five starts, all of them leading to runs. Manager Jim Riggleman believed rust had contributed to Kennedy’s struggles, which is
Bats remain silent for the Orioles
Baltimore Sun
baltimore — Much has been made about the Balti- more Orioles’ lack of offense this season, the way they can’t score runs or get key hits when the opportunities arise and how that ineffectiveness keeps costing their starting pitchers potential wins. The trend continued Satur-
day, with the Orioles’ hitters failing to solve another op- posing starter, Hisanori Taka- hashi, in a 3-1 loss to the New York Mets.
AMY SANCETTA/ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington’s Willie Harris heads for first after a dropped third strike by Cleveland’s Carlos Santana.
why he inserted him in Satur- day’s lineup. For one night, it seemed, the rust remained. The Indians virtually sealed the game in the second inning, this time Martin doing the dam- age himself. He yielded five hits, including a two-run double by Santana, who was playing his sec- ond major league game. After a four-run onslaught, the Indians led, 5-0. With the way Carmona was pitching and the Nationals were playing, it might as well have been 50-0. In the fifth, Santana led off
with the first home run of his ca- reer. Riggleman stuck with Mar- tin, perhaps seeing no need to make his bullpen waste bullets in a game that had already been lost. Martin nearly pitched a com- plete game, but Russell Branyan smoked a home run to center
with two outs in the eighth. Mi- guel Batista had to be summoned for the Indians’ final out. With the game over, the Na- tionals could look to Strasburg, the pitcher everyone wants to see and the Nationals suddenly need.

Again, the Orioles had their chances and again failed mis- erably, going 1 for 10 with run- ners in scoring position. They are 4 for 27 (.148 average) in that category in their two losses to the Mets this week- end. But a muffed double play by a defense that simply can’t convert the big out when needed was the real deflating moment, turning rookie Bri- an Matusz’s career-long, eight-inning start into an af- terthought. It pushed Matusz (2-7) into the hard-luck, seven-loss club with Orioles starters Kevin Millwood and Jeremy Guth- rie. Only two other American League pitchers have seven or more losses this season. Saturday’s defeat, before an announced crowd of 42,248, guaranteed that the Orioles would go winless in their past 10 series (0-9-1) while the Mets clinched a road series for the first time in 10 tries this season. It was the 20th game in which the Orioles have scored one run or fewer and it was the 15th time in their past 16 that an opposing hurler has delivered a quality start. Matusz did his part, throw- ing 95 pitches in eight in- nings, allowing five hits — in- cluding two solo homers — and three runs. He walked none for the first time since April and struck out four. And he and the Orioles still
lost.
Strasburg, Round 2 This, really, is the best part about a pitching phenom who becomes a phenomenon. The Nationals and their fans waited for one year before his start, anticipation growing and growing with the reward hardly in sight. And now they can experience him starting five days later . . . and then 10 days later . . . and then 15 days later . . . and on and on. He existed as a concept before Tuesday, and now he’s one of five Nationals starters. “He’s a regular guy,” pitching coach Steve McCatty said, “with a lot of talent.” On Sunday, the Nationals will limit Stephen Strasburg to roughly 100 pitches, Manager Jim Riggleman said. Strasburg threw 94 in seven innings in his first start. “We feel like if things go as we hope, he can get us through six,” Riggleman said. “If he can go seven, great. We’ll try to keep him under 100 pitches.” The Nationals will not treat
the 100-pitch mark as a reason for automatic removal. If Strasburg has, say, two outs in the sixth and 97 or so pitches, Riggleman would let him finish the inning unless a noted patient hitter was coming to the plate.

Nationals Journal
6washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal Today in Cleveland:
“I mean, science has got it down that great that they’ve determined it’s that 102nd pitch that is going to tear your ligament up,” Riggleman said. “If there’s a free swinger up there, we’re probably going to let him finish that inning.” Iván Rodríguez was out of the lineup Saturday so he can catch Strasburg on Sunday, as he did in Strasburg’s debut. Strasburg adores working with Rodríguez, but Riggleman does not believe in personal catchers for a specific starter. While Rodríguez will catch Strasburg’s first few starts, Wil Nieves, Saturday night’s starter, will eventually catch one or two. In Strasburg’s first start, he did not use any scouting report as he struck out 14 Pittsburgh Pirates. That, McCatty said, is the same for any Nationals pitcher, and he certainly does not want to overload anyone in his first major league start. This week, McCatty familiarized Strasburg with the Indians lineup but held back from a full report, the same thing he would do for any starter. Strasburg, he allowed, is different from most others operating without a report.
“Anything he throws, if he throws it the way he can, you can’t hit it,” McCatty said.
All-Star Game update In a telephone conversation
Saturday morning, team President Stan Kasten said the Nationals have not been informed by the league about hosting the 2015 All-Star Game but remain confident that Nationals Park will house the game in the near future. “We haven’t heard anything from anybody about it,” Kasten said. “We’re certainly hopeful it comes to Washington. We continue to push to get an all-star game, and I’m sure we will soon.” Kasten’s comments by no means challenged the veracity of Friday night’s report from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. Washington, a high-profile market with a new stadium, makes sense as a host. Kasten has personal
experience in bringing baseball’s showcase to his team. While running the Atlanta Braves, Kasten helped bring the 2000 All-Star Game to Turner Field, which opened in 1997.
