The Washington Nationals grabbed their second straight win Saturday night over the Colorado Rockies, as Stone Garrett led the way with an impressive night. The Nats went into the ninth inning up 7-2, nearly blowing it — but they hung on to put a curly W in the books.

Will it surprise anyone that the Washington Nationals will face another lefty tonight? Yes it is Trevor Williams for the Nats and lefty Austin Gomber for the Rockies. Hopefully the Nats can repeat their success from last night against Gomber in this game.

On Saturday Joan Adon made his second appearance for Triple-A Rochester, and the prospect had to face a tough Mets’ affiliate. The results were much better than Adon’s first start, and he showed much better control today.

The Washington Nationals rebounded from their shutout loss with a 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies Friday night at Coors Field, as the Nats had 19 hits and grabbed their second win of the season.

The Washington Nationals were cruising to victory Friday night against the Colorado Rockies, up 8-2 entering the sixth inning. However, second baseman Luis Garcia grabbed what appeared to be his hamstring after grounding out in the top of the sixth, and did not return.

Who expected a Coors Field game to finish in a full 9.0 innings with a final score of 1-0 between two teams with so many imperfections? It was the twelfth 1-0 game in Colorado’s history and the first with the new shift rules. Kyle Freeland is the ace of the Rockies staff, and Josiah Gray sure pitched like one for the Nats. The only run that scored came off of a sun monster double that Lane Thomas could not see through the sunshine. It was unfortunate, and Gray deserved better. Today, the Nats turn again to MacKenzie Gore to be the stopper. This losing streak is at a painful four straight games.

Hi, everyone.
I’m Quinn Riley, and I’m excited to join TalkNats and bring coverage of the Nationals and the farm to TN.
Having a background with Boston sports, I covered the five major Boston teams for 17 months before moving on to RedSoxDigest.com in July of 2022. My most recent gig was to focus solely on the Red Sox. Covering five teams at once with limited help is often very taxing, so focusing on one team is a major plus.
I had been at RSD for the past nine months and have brought daily Red Sox coverage to the site. However, covering the Red Sox might be one of the more challenging things — there are roughly two dozen sites covering the team and a whole array of Sox podcasts as well, which make it one of the most saturated media environments.
So, with how competitive it is, it’s not exactly always the easiest to grow. When we had sort of begun to hit a wall in terms of growth, I began to search for different opportunities.
When I learned I could join TalkNats, it was sort of a no-brainer. Washington isn’t exactly the greatest team currently, but with a good young core, great prospects, and a site that has a phenomenal community and following, it was all that I needed for me to join the site.
And that leads us to where we are now.
I look to bring game recaps and both major and minor league coverage to TalkNats. In fact, we’ve even created a prospects-based account, @ProspectsTN, so you should go give that a follow. Geographically, I am located between Harrisburg, PA the home of the Nats Double-A affiliate and Wilmington, Delaware, the Nats High-A affiliate, and plan on attending games in person there and catching some Nats’ Triple-A and Class-A on the road at games near me. With that, I will concentrating on the affiliates and the Top Prospects as well as developing Nats’ stories.
And that’s that, as I’m eager to begin the next part of my writing career. Shoot me a follow @QuinnRileyTN on Twitter if you will, and let’s have some fun. Look forward to interacting with all of you Nats fans.
Cheers.
Sabermetrics started off way back in the 1970s. At the time, it was the ultimate hobby for baseball fans who adored a hard look at numbers. Specifically, it let them see the game through a totally new lens: data. Through tallying baseball statistics alone, fans like Bill Jams helped redefine the game.

This game begins the Washington Nationals’ first road trip of the season. With four games in Colorado that begins this afternoon, it is not exactly a fair test for the Nats’ pitchers based on the “thin air” factor in Coors Field. But the Nats have to compete and both teams have to pitch in the same conditions.

We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.
