Nationals' bullpen sputters, then spirals in the seventh against Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. — For Eduardo Salazar, escape and catharsis were just a pitch away in the seventh inning Saturday. Twice. One more pitch past Los Angeles Angels rookie Christian Moore, and the Washington Nationals could have entered the final two frames with the score knotted. And after Moore turned on his fastball above the zone for the go-ahead run, Salazar still had a chance to get a pitch past Angels shortstop Kevin Newman that would have kept Washington in the game.

Nationals reinstate Michael Soroka to start series finale vs. Guardians
Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Nationals reinstated right-hander Michael Soroka from the injured list to start Wednesday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Soroka went on the 15-day IL after he strained the biceps in his pitching arm during his Nationals debut, a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He allowed four runs in five innings in that start. An All-Star with Atlanta during his first full season in 2019, the 27-year-old Soroka has been limited by injuries since. He tore his right Achilles tendon on a routine fielding play in 2020, then injured the same tendon while walking into Atlanta's ballpark the following year. He missed the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Soroka hasn't won in the majors since 2023. Last year for the Chicago White Sox, he went 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA in 25 appearances, including nine starts. Washington optioned right-hander Eduardo Salazar to Triple-A Rochester to make room for Soroka. Salazar is 0-1 with a 9.77 ERA in 17 appearances this season. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
