After dealing the Los Angeles Dodgers a 2-0 defeat – the first time L.A. has been shut out in more than 200 games – the Washington Nationals boarded the flight home having won their second series of the season. The Nats took two of three in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but won only one game in Oakland. Highlights from the road C.J. Abrams continues to play at an all-star level. His five homers lead the Nats, and his .295 average is second to the red-hot Jesse Winker’s .364. Though too many Nats have yet to swing the bats like they should (looking at you, Lane Thomas and Joey Meneses), Washi ..read more

The New York Mets have officially traded Yohan Ramirez to the O’s. New York will get cash considerations in return, per Roch Kubatko.
