WASHINGTON -- Bryce Harper will have to wait at least one more day to break out of his frustrating slump after Tuesday nights game between the Washington
Nationals and Baltimore Orioles was postponed by rain.
Tarell
Basham Youth Jersey . The game was called following a delay of
approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes. The interleague matchup between crosstown
rivals will be made up on Aug. 4. The teams will continue the home-and-home
series in Baltimore on Wednesday night. Harper came into the game mired in a
4-for-24 skid since his return from the disabled list on June 30. He had left
thumb surgery and missed 57 games. Although the 21-year-old was 1 for 13 over
his previous four games, manager Matt Williams was confident the outfielder was
on the brink of breaking loose. "Looks better. Timings a little better,"
Williams said Tuesday afternoon. "Its a process man. Take that much time off,
its difficult to maintain timing. So I think hes starting to see it a little bit
better, hes a little calmer at the plate. Yeah, the results werent there, but
standing in the dugout watching it, he just looks calmer. It looks like hes
seeing the ball a little bit better." In spite of Harpers struggles, the
Nationals started the day a half-game behind Atlanta in the NL East. For that
reason, Harper could afford to be patient while waiting for a return to the form
that enabled him to win NL Rookie of the Year honours in 2012. "He knows ... its
going to take some time. Standing in the box he can also feel it," Williams
said. "When hes starting to see the ball better he can feel that, too. So its a
question of continuing to work and continuing to go out and play in game
situations and see the breaking ball again and again. Hell be good, but it does
take time. Ill be happy to write his name in the lineup every day." The rainout
forced the Nationals to shuffle their rotation. Doug Fister, who was slated to
start Tuesday, was shoved back to Wednesday. Gio Gonzalez will start Thursday,
and Tanner Roark, who was slated to start Wednesday, was moved to the bullpen.
Williams said Roark should start Sunday, the final day before the All-Star
break. The Orioles came into the game having won seven of eight. They activated
right-hander Bud Norris from the disabled list to make his first start since
June 21. He had been sidelined with a strained groin. Norris will start
Wednesday instead, and Wednesdays scheduled starter, Wei-Yin Chen, was pushed
back to Thursday. Williams said talk of a day-night doubleheader Wednesday in
Washington, then Baltimore, was never discussed. "Didnt the Mets and Yankees do
it at one point?" the manager asked. "I would imagine that it was about the same
amount of time to get across New York City that would take for us to get to
Baltimore, but no, we had a mutual off day on the 4th of August so well
determine what time that game is. Since there was a mutual off day we didnt go
that far."
