MacKenzie Gore hopes to see more progress when he takes the mound for the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night in the second game of a four-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants. Gore (6-9, 4.54 ERA) made six starts in July and went 0-2 with a 7.62 ERA but showed improvement in his most recent outing, allowing three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings while taking a loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks last Wednesday. "We can build off that," Washington manager Dave Martinez said. Gore also said that he felt like he made strides in the right direction in his latest start.

The Giants visited the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park with an opportunity to get back to .500 for the first time since June 1. And having lost their last seven attempts at breaking out of the sub-.500 team category, it was going to take more than a solid outing from ace Logan Webb. Perhaps some magic from none other than...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Chapman homered in his third straight game, Logan Webb pitched into the sixth inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Monday night. The Giants have won nine of their past 12 games and at 57-57 have reached the .500 mark for the first time since they […]

Tyler Fitzgeraldn set the tone with a leadoff homer and Logan Webb pitched 5 2/3 strong innings as the San Francisco Giants took the series opener against the Washington Nationals on Monday night.

Tyler Fitzgerald's 12th home run of the season, one off Patrick Corbin that easily cleared the left field wall in Washington, was special for several reasons. Yes, the first-inning blast was the first lead-off home run of Fitzgerald's young career. Since 1901, the only other shortstops to hit that many home runs in such few games are Alex Rodriguez, Troy Tulowitzki, and Trea Turner.

Blake Snell has been dominant since coming back from the injured list, and MLB has noticed. The Giants lefthander was named National League player of the week on Monday after throwing a no-hitter Friday against the Reds. Snell went the distance on Friday in Cincinnati, out 11 and walking just three as he became the first San Francisco pitcher to throw a no-no since Chris Heston on June 9, 2015. It was the 18th no-hitter in Giants history, and the first time Snell had pitched into the ninth inning in his career.

In need of space on the active roster, the Miami Marlins designated infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon for assignment Monday. The Marlins also activated outfielder Derek Hill after he was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Miami also claimed right-hander Brett de Geus off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Fresh off of back-to-back wins over a division leader, the Washington Nationals will host the red-hot San Francisco Giants for a four-game series that begins Monday night. The Giants are one game below .500 and have had their struggles on the road at 23-34, but they have won seven of their past nine games overall. "It's huge," said Giants shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald, who homered in their 8-2 win Sunday. Fitzgerald's homer was his 11th of the season, but 10 of them have come in the past 16 games.

The Cincinnati Reds' run differential that suggests they should be 8 games over .500 also suggests they might be MLB's biggest underachievers.
