Nats Nightly

Bryce Harper and Adam Lind homered late and the Washington Nationals rallied for a 4-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Opening Day in D.C. Harper hit a solo blast in the sixth and Lind, in his first appearance in a Nats uniform, hit a two-run, pinch hit blast to make it 3-2 in what ended up a 4-2 win over the Fish. On the mound, Stephen Strasburg allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings and Sammy Solis and Blake Treinen locked down the win

With Opening Day less than 24 hours away we look back on the postseason and forward to the 2017 campaign. Will the Washington Nationals break the trend of on-again-off-again NL East division titles? Will Stephen Strasburg be effective pitchng only out of the stretch? Is Bryce Harper back to being 2015 Harper? What about the back end of the bullpen? Do you like the decision to go with Blake Treinen as the closer after the Nats failed to land a high-end arm? We'll talk about all this and more on Nats Nightly at 6:30 PM EDT.

Washington’s Nationals rallied late against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers’ pen, but Los Angeles battled back for a 6-5 win to send the NLDS to Game 5.

Washington rallied with a four-run fourth and added four in the ninth for an 8-3 Nationals’ win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and a 2-1 lead in the NLDS. Jayson Werth came up with a big pressure-relieving home run in the ninth after Anthony Rendon hit a big blast early to cap off the four run fourth and the Nationals took a big game from the Dodgers to set themselves up with a chance to win the series on the road or at least take it back to D.C

After the Washington Nationals fell behind 2-0 early in Game 2 of the NLDS with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jose Lobaton hit a three-run home run and Daniel Murphy drove in two in a 5-2 win that evened up the series. Tanner Roark was out early after giving up two runs in 4 1/3 innings, but the Nationals' bullpen held the Dodgers in check after the Nats took the lead. Now it's off to LA with the series tied up at 1-1.

Los Angeles Dodgers' lefty Clayton Kershaw held the Washington Nationals to three runs in five innings, and the Dodgers scored four on Nats' starter Max Scherzer early and held on. LA took a 1-0 lead in the division series with what ended up being a 4-3 win in which Corey Seager and Justin Turner hit big home runs.
