| |  | WASHINGTON: WASHINGTON (AP) - Thanks in part to No. 1 overall draft picks Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, the 2012 Washington Nationals were considered an up-and-coming team, perhaps a year or two away from contending.
So what did they do? Went out and led the majors with 98 wins.
Thanks to that quick rise, the 2013 Nationals became a popular pick to go to the World Series. So what did they do? Stumbled at the start and missed out on the playoffs.
Now here come the 2014 Nationals, featuring largely the same roster - including Strasburg on the mound, and Harper in left field, both feeling good after offseason surgery - and with rookie manager Matt Williams replacing Davey Johnson, he of the ''World Series or bust'' proclamation.
One key difference: The club knows what it's like to experience a truly disappointing, worse-than-they-were-supposed-to-be season for the first time since moving from Montreal in 2005.
''We got ahead of ourselves a little bit. My take on it was always: Last year in spring training, we had expectations on ourselves, really, for the first time, and we thought we were better, maybe, than we were,'' reliever Tyler Clippard said. ''We came into the season expecting to win, which is a good thing. But at the same time, we might not have went out there and earned it, like we should have.''
Yes, the team that got Strasburg and Harper thanks to consecutive 100-loss seasons is trying to deal with lofty goals.
''To see the organization from basically, literally, the ground up, improve is something I kind of take pride in, because when I signed, people would be like, `Oh, you play for the Expos and the Nationals,' and they'd be like, `Uh, OK, I don't know them,''' said shortstop Ian Desmond, drafted by Montreal in 2004. ''And now, it's like there's some pride behind playing for the Washington Nationals.''
| | CINCINNATI: CINCINNATI (AP) - Bryan Price's father worked for a savings and loan that had San Francisco Giants season tickets and would make some of them available to employees.
Any team was good to see. Two were best.
''So you go in there and battle for tickets to certain games,'' Price said. ''And I would circle the Reds and the Dodgers.''
He loved how the franchises were stocked with stars. He knew it would be fun watching them play his hometown Giants. He even dreamed of some playing or working for one of those teams.
That's why the last six weeks of spring training left him with a too-good-to-be-true feeling at times. He's managing the Reds, one of those teams he loved to see.
''It's almost a constant, surreal experience for me at this point,'' he said in February.
The surreal part gave way to reality pretty fast.
Starter Mat Latos had knee surgery the day spring training opened. Closer Aroldis Chapman got hit in the head by a line drive and is out for at least a month after having a plate put into his forehead. Starter Homer Bailey strained his groin. Relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall aren't ready to start the season.

*Nationals-Reds Preview* ========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Washington (56-44) at Cincinnati (51-51), 1:10 p.m. EDT
Though their lengthy skid has ended, the Cincinnati Reds still must find a way to produce at the plate.
The Reds could have a rough time ending their offensive struggles Sunday against Doug Fister and the visiting Washington Nationals.
Johnny Cueto allowed four hits and struck out nine in seven innings and Brayan Pena delivered a RBI single in the fifth Saturday as Cincinnati (52-51) snapped a seven-game slide with a 1-0 victory.
"You've heard me talk about how teams go through stretches like this," manager Bryan Price said. "You hope it's not in September where it takes you out of the race. This one didn't, but I'm sure everybody in this building is feeling a lot better."
Though the Reds finally earned their first win since the All-Star break, they've been held to one run in three straight contests and are batting .174 with 70 strikeouts while totaling 14 runs in the last eight games.
All-Star Todd Frazier is 1 for 17 with six strikeouts in five games while Jay Bruce is 2 for 28 with 11 in his last eight contests. Shortstop Zack Cozart, meanwhile, is mired in an 0-for-20 slump.
Things might not get any easier against Fister (9-2, 2.92 ERA), who allowed two runs in seven innings of a 9-4 victory over the Reds on May 20.
The right-hander's been just as tough while going 4-0 with a 2.67 ERA in his last five outings. He overcame nine hits and allowed two runs in 5 2-3 innings of a 7-2 win at Colorado on Monday.
"He's got good command and pitches to the bottom of the zone and the edge of the plate," Rockies manager Walt Weiss told MLB's official website.
The Reds counter with Mat Latos (2-2, 3.15), who has received three runs of support while going 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA in his last two starts. The right-hander gave up five runs in seven innings of a 5-2 loss at Milwaukee on Monday.
"You can't fault the guys for trying," Latos said. "It all boils down to me not executing pitches."
Latos is 3-1 with a 2.34 ERA in six starts against the NL East-leading Nationals (56-45), but has not faced them 2012.
Ian Desmond and Adam LaRoche are batting a combined .333 (8 for 24) against Latos, but went 0 for 7 on Saturday as Washington lost for the second time in three games since winning four straight and six of seven.
The Nationals hurt themselves on the bases when Bryce Harper got doubled up on a fly out in the second inning and was retired in a rundown after going too far around second base in the seventh.
"It's part of our DNA," manager Matt Williams said. "We're going to be aggressive. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it bites you. You can't change the way we play. It's aggressive by nature."
With half of the Nationals' four hits Saturday, catcher Wilson Ramos is 10 for 22 in his last five games and batting .373 in his last 21 contests. He's hitting .370 (10 for 27) in seven games at Cincinnati.
Ramos is 1 for 4 with a homer and two walks versus Latos.
