WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals have ranked among the league leaders most
of this season in team ERA and fielding percentage.
Case Keenum Houston Jersey .But Nationals
manager Dusty Baker is still not satisfied as his club begins a three-game
series at home Friday against the San Francisco Giants in a matchup of
first-place teams.While his club leads the league in homers, Baker would like to
see his team hit better for average and especially when runners are in scoring
position.I dont like being in the middle of the pack on offense, I will tell you
that, Baker told reporters during a road series this week in Arizona. This is
the offensive time of the year, August and September.The Nationals (64-44), who
had Thursday off, flexed their offensive muscle by beating Arizona 14-1 on
Monday, 10-4 on Tuesday and 8-3 on Wednesday.We were able to get the series
sweep with an off day (Thursday), infielder Daniel Murphy said Wednesday on the
Mid-Atlantic Sports Network.The Giants wrapped up a series at Philadelphia on
Thursday afternoon with a 3-2 victory in 10 innings while the Nationals ended a
three-city road trip by going 6-3 in Cleveland, San Francisco and Arizona.
Washington outscored foes 54-27 on the trip.San Francisco (62-46) had the worst
mark in the majors at 4-13 since the All-Star break going into Thursdays
play.Its hard to believe, Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto told MLB.com. Were a
good team. All we can do is keep grinding and putting our best stuff out there
every time.Bryce Harper had the flu and missed Tuesdays game in Arizona. He
looks a lot better, Baker said of Harper, who was back in the starting lineup
Wednesday.The Giants are slated to start right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who is
7-16 with a 4.92 ERA in 57 games (25 starts) in the month of August.He was
slated to start for Thursday but was pushed back when Matt Moore, acquired in a
trade from Tampa Bay on Monday, pitched against the Phillies.Samardzija (9-7,
4.30 this season) has some history with several Washington hitters.Murphy, the
Player of the Month for July in the National League, is hitting .500 in 12
at-bats with one homer against the former Notre Dame football player. Washington
catcher Wilson Ramos is hitting .364 with two homers in 11 at-bats against him.
Murphy and Ramos went deep in the series at Arizona.Harper is hitting .200 in 10
at-bats against Samardzija and Ben Revere is at .333 in nine trips.Harper enters
Friday with an average of .130 in his last seven games, .115 in his last 15 and
.194 in his last 30.Sooner or later Harper will really bust out of this, Baker
said.Washington infielder Danny Espinosa, who was on fire in June, is hitting
.115 in his last 15 games and .196 in his last 30.Washington has a new closer --
Mark Melancon -- since it last played at Nationals Park.Jonathan Papelbon,
acquired last year at the trade deadline, lost the role after Melancon was
acquired in a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday for reliever Felipe
Rivero and a minor league pitcher.The Washington Post reported Thursday that
left-hander Gio Gonzalez (6-9, 4.29) would make the start on regular rest Friday
against the Giants. That will allow the Nationals to skip over the fifth man in
the rotation, which has been rookies Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez in the
past few weeks.Hunter Pence is 1-for-17 against Gonzalez while Buster Posey is
5-for-15.

. -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for
the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.
If Sydney FC fans needed any further confirmation that Matt Jurman is as tough
as they come, they got it on Saturday night.Not to be put off by a killer cut
above his right eye which later required 10 stitches, a heavily bandaged Jurman
got straight back into it against Adelaide United.He could never have predicted
his first three touches on return to the Allianz Stadium pitch would all be
headers, and all within the space of a minute.Each was toasted with a lively
cheer from the Sky Blues faithful, a jaunty recognition of the hard-as-nails
centre-backs bravery following a horrible head clash with Uniteds James
Holland.I was like, `oh, fair enough Ill keep at it then, Jurman said.It was
just a magnet to my head and I thought, `how many times is this going to happen
tonight?Minutes earlier there had been concern after Jurman collided forcefully
with Holland in an aerial challenge in the box during the goalless draw.As
Holland went to ground, his Sydney counterpart spun away clutching at his eye
and flicking blood away as it streamed down his face.The 26-year-old admitted
initially freaking out a bit as the team doctor and physio rushhed out to stem
the flow.

going to score and then next minute I was looking at my hands and had blood
everywhere, it was leaking out of my head, Jurman said.I didnt know how bad it
was but to see blood coming out that quick, I thought it was quite bad.I started
walking off and then realised the game wouldnt stop, so I stayed on and got
treatment.But its nothing that hasnt happened before.In fact, it has happened to
Jurman before.During Sydneys 2014-15 grand-final loss to Melbourne Victory, a
flailing elbow from former Brisbane teammate Besart Berisha left him bandaged
and needing stitches.That split was slightly lower and Jurman played much of the
decider barely able to see out of one eye.It was the same stubborn will to play
on that has him certain hell be fine for Wednesday nights FFA Cup final against
Melbourne City.I told them I have to be ready so they better figure out
something quick, he said.I think itll be fine - you stitch it up and hopefully
it recovers pretty quick.
