Mark Ingram wants a new contract
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey , sure. But he said that’s not why he skipped some voluntary OTAs this offseason.
The Saints running back was back for this week’s mandatory minicamp, and said that he wanted to focus on speed training and route-running with a personal
coach in South Florida.
“I’m not angry with my contract,” Ingram said, via Josh Katzenstein of the
New Orleans?Times-Picayune. “I wasn’t holding out. I’m in the last year of my deal; of course I’d like an extension, but that’s not the reason I wasn’t
here. . . .
“The main reason that I wasn’t here for OTAs was that I wanted to train on my own this offseason. I wanted to switch up my offseason regimen this year, and I
felt like I had some things that I wanted to work on personally that I could get
done better by myself.”
If that was the only news Ingram made this offseason it would be one thing. But he also had a four-game suspension for violating the PED policy mixed in,
which makes it harder to ask for a new deal. He didn’t get into any details
about that, but insisted he’d be ready for training camp and in good shape.
WASHINGTON — Their winning streak against the Baltimore Orioles ended
Mike Condon Jersey , the Washington Nationals will turn to Max Scherzer on Thursday night as they look to win the three-game series against the team
with the worst record in baseball.
Scherzer (10-3, 2.06 ERA), seeking to avoid losing three starts in a row for the first time since 2015, will be opposed by Kevin Gausman (3-6, 4.48).
In each of his last two outings, Scherzer has made one mistake and the Washington bats haven’t been able to overcome it. On June 10, he allowed a
two-run homer to Brandon Crawford in a 2-0 home loss to the San Francisco
Giants, and last Saturday he was touched for a two-run shot by Toronto’s Devon
Travis
Womens Ryan Shazier Jersey , also in a 2-0 loss.
“This is major league baseball. One pitch can cost you a game. Now I’ve had it happen back-to-back starts,” Scherzer told the Washington Post. “… You can
get beat like that.”
Scherzer allowed a combined eight hits in the two losses while striking out 19 in his first back-to-back defeats since 2015.
He leads the NL in wins, strikeouts (152) and opponents’ batting average (.171) and ranks second in ERA.
Scherzer is 6-2 with a 2.87 ERA in 11 career starts versus the Orioles. He beat them on May 30, throwing eight shutout innings and giving up just two
hits.
Adam Jones is 13-for-32 (.406) with three doubles and four home runs against Scherzer, while Manny Machado is 2-for-25 and Mark Trumbo is 1-for-16.
On Wednesday night, the Orioles got a two-run homer from Trumbo and five pitchers combined for a 3-0 win, snapping a six-game losing streak against
Washington that dated to last season.
Baltimore (21-51) won for only the fourth time in 21 games and improved the majors’ worst road record to 10-28 after the teams endured a 2-hour, 43-minute
rain delay.
“It’s never easy
T.J. Oshie Jersey , especially when you get over the hour mark, two-hour mark,” Trumbo said. “Then you have to restart. It’s almost two games in one, so
great job by our guys tonight.”
One night after pounding out 14 hits, the Nationals (39-33) were held to five and were shut out for the fourth time in their last nine games.
“We’ve got some pretty good hitters,” Washington manager Dave Martinez said. “We’ve just got to keep pushing and keep going. The runs will come. I know
they’ll come and when they do come they’ll come in bunches.”
Gausman has not won since May 11, though in his last two starts it had as much to do with the Baltimore bats as his pitching. On June 9, he allowed three
runs in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays. Then on June 15
Kyle Turris Jersey , he gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings of a 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins as he allowed five hits and threw 107 pitches.
“Kevin gave us a really good chance to win,” manager Buck Showalter told the Baltimore Sun. “I’m sure he’d like to take back some of the 0-2 hits he gave up,
but two runs … I can’t fault him for that. It just gets magnified any runs our
pitchers give up because we’re struggling so much to score runs.”
Gausman is 3-1 with a 4.70 ERA in four career starts against the Nationals. Bryce Harper is 3-for-7 against him and Anthony Rendon is
3-for-9.
