groin. The Phillies activated third baseman Placido Polanco from the DL, where he had been since August 7 because of sports hernia, to take the roster spot. Rollins suffered the injury and left the game in the third inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. "Gone till September," Rollins tweeted Monday afternoon after announcing the injury. The former MVP is batting .268 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI over 121 games this season. He also has 28 stolen bases and has scored 79 times.
Nats welcome D'Backs to D.C. Mon Aug 22 10:41:05 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The slumping Arizona Diamondbacks are lucky to still be on top in the National League West and will try to end a five-game slide tonight in the opener of a four-game series against the Washington Nationals. After defeating the Philadelphia Phillies for their seventh straight win back on Aug. 16, the Diamondbacks have dropped five in a row to fall to 1-5 on their lengthy 10-game road trip. They are still 1 1/2 games ahead of San Francisco in the division, despite being swept i
Nats' late-inning rally downs Phils again Sun Aug 21 19:05:46 2011 EST
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - It was an unconventional way to win a game but the Washington Nationals will surely take it. After erasing a ninth-inning deficit for the second time in three days, the Nationals loaded the bases in the 10th against Philadelphia's Brad Lidge (0-1), who allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base. Ryan Zimmerman, the hero from Friday night with a walkoff grand slam, doubled to start the frame and Jayson Werth singled after Lidge intentionally walked M

Rollins exits with groin injury Sun Aug 21 15:01:25 2011 EST
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins left Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals in the third inning with a right groin strain. Rollins, who is listed as day-to-day, appeared to have injured himself fielding a ground ball the previous frame. He was replaced by Wilson Valdez.
Phillies rebound, shut down Nats Sat Aug 20 22:07:15 2011 EST
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Consecutive road losses have become something of an anomaly for the Philadelphia Phillies. The team with the major's best record shook off a ninth-inning collapse in Friday's series opener to shut down the Washington Nationals, 5-0. Jimmy Rollins and Wilson Valdez both knocked in two runs for the Phillies, who established a franchise record by going 31 games without back-to-back losses as the visiting club. Philadelphia hasn't dropped two straight on the road si

on the road that began on June 5 at Pittsburgh. Snake bitten by a ninth-inning grand slam from Ryan Zimmerman last night, the Phillies could be wondering if that streak will end this evening when they continue a three-game series with the Washington Nationals. Philadelphia's 30-game streak is its longest since 2002 when the club set a franchise record for a single season with 30 games in a row without back-to-back defeats (May 28-August 8, 21-9 record). The Phillies will try to bounce back in t
Madson gives up slam in 9th; Phillies lose 8-4 Sat Aug 20 00:57:00 2011 EST

WASHINGTON (AP) - Manager Charlie Manuel said: ``Those things happen.''

Starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick said: ``Games like this happen.''

But, immediately after the Philadelphia Phillies' 8-4 loss Friday to the Washington Nationals, don't try telling that to Ryan Madson. The closer allowed six runs in a ninth inning that ended with Ryan Zimmerman's grand slam.

``I don't really care about myself,'' said Madson (3-2), who blew his second save in 25 opportunities. ``It's more about the guys

Zimmerman hits slam in 9th; Nats beat Phillies 8-4 Sat Aug 20 00:49:00 2011 EST

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam on a full count with two outs in the bottom of the ninth Friday night, capping a six-run inning and lifting the Washington Nationals to an improbable 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Nationals were trailing 4-2 and were facing Ryan Madson (3-2), but they sent eight men to the plate against the formidable closer. It was only fitting that Zimmerman had the last word, hitting the eighth game-ending home run of his career, as well

quality start rate (six or more innings pitched, three or fewer runs allowed) of only 50 percent, the fourth-lowest mark in the National League. The bullpen has blown 21 saves this season, the second-highest total in the NL behind only the Washington Nationals. Combined, that has been a recipe for more than a few agonizing losses for St. Louis. Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates was a microcosm of the Cardinals' season. With the score tied 3-3 late in the game, the team st
