Why the Nationals, who lead MLB in errors, address their mistakes in the open
WASHINGTON — For each of the last three seasons, the Nationals have been one of the youngest teams in MLB, and, accordingly, made more mistakes than almost any team in MLB.

Phillies' losing streak reaches six against Cubs: 'Not where you want to be'
CHICAGO — It should have been a good thing, the bases loaded in the second inning. Even better that it was a result of hits from Adolis García and Bryson Stott, Phillies batters who have struggled in recent days. The score was 0-0. Anything, seemingly, could happen.Then Rafael Marchán, who likely would not have played if not for J.T. Realmuto’s battered back, quickly found himself in an 0-2 count. He worked it full, then fouled a pitch that looked so much like a swinging strike that fans at Wrig...

EDMONTON — Leon Draisaitl vowed to find a way. After all of the hours he spent grinding his way back from a knee injury during a lonely month of rehab, there was no way he’d let his well-timed return to the Edmonton Oilers lineup pass without making a mark.The way Draisaitl pushed his way through Monday’s first-round series opener against the Anaheim Ducks was an act of defiance.Advertisement
