| | | SAN DIEGO: SAN DIEGO (AP) - It's almost as if last season didn't end for the San Diego Padres.
The Padres go into 2014 trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers and with one of their starting pitchers already having arm trouble.
There had been a general air of optimism surrounding the Padres, who are coming off seasons of 91, 86 and 86 losses. Their rotation has been bolstered, as well as their player payroll.
Then came word late in spring training that newcomer Josh Johnson, penciled in as the No. 3 starter, is expected to be out four to five weeks after straining his right forearm.
That still leaves a projected rotation of Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross, Ian Kennedy and Eric Stults, with a number of pitchers to choose from to replace Johnson.
''I think we have the talent on the mound, through our 12 guys that are going to make our team, to pitch well,'' manager Bud Black said. ''There's a health component here like all teams. We've got keep our best players on the field.''
The Padres signed Johnson to an $8 million, one-year contact less than two months after he had bone spurs removed from his pitching elbow. He was 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA in 16 appearances last season with Toronto.
When Johnson returns, the Padres hope he and Ian Kennedy can return to their old form.
Kennedy was acquired from division rival Arizona at the trading deadline. He went 4-2 with a 4.24 ERA with San Diego after going 3-8 with a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts with the Diamondbacks. Johnson was an All-Star with the Marlins in 2009 and 2010, and led the NL with a 2.30 ERA in 2010.
The Padres will be tested right away. They open at home Sunday night against the defending NL West champion Dodgers and their $225 million payroll, led by ace Clayton Kershaw, himself a $215 million man. The Dodgers already sit atop the division after sweeping the Diamondbacks in a two-game series in Sydney.
| | 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.''

*Padres-Nationals Preview* ==========================
By ELI KABERON STATS Writer
San Diego (10-12) at Washington (12-10), 7:05 p.m. EDT
The San Diego Padres' lineup has been quiet over the last week, a main reason the team has dropped three of four.
The Padres look to get their offense on track as they start a four-game road series against the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.
San Diego (10-12) has scored four runs once in the last nine games and gone 11 straight without reaching double digits in hits. The Padres have totaled 16 runs while batting .205 and striking out 56 times in the past seven games.
"We hope that hitting is contagious," manager Bud Black said following a 5-2 loss in Milwaukee on Wednesday. "We've got a couple of guys having good at-bats but the other five or six guys are struggling. We've got to get some hits to build some confidence."
Washington's Jordan Zimmermann (1-1, 3.92 ERA) will look to extend San Diego's hitting woes while also building on a pair of strong performances in his last two starts.
The right-hander has allowed three earned runs and struck out 13 over 14 innings over that span, but he split a pair of decisions as poor defense led to a 4-3 loss to St. Louis on Saturday.
Zimmermann has a 1.95 ERA in five starts against the Padres, but he's received 10 runs of support in posting a 1-2 record. First baseman Yonder Alonso is 3 for 5 with a homer and a double in their matchups.
He will be opposed by Eric Stults (1-2, 4.35), who is coming off his best showing of the season. The left-hander went six innings and allowed one run and three hits in a 3-1 win over San Francisco on Saturday.
"I was able to keep my pitch count down, and I think it was just getting strike one," Stults said. "I was able to execute some pitches down in the zone. I was able to stay away from the heart of the plate."
The problem for Stults this season has been the long ball. He has allowed a home run in all four starts, a reason opponents have a .476 slugging percentage against him, by far the highest of any member of the San Diego pitching staff.
Stults didn't allow a homer in his only start against the Nationals, as he gave up one run and four hits over eight innings of a 2-1 win May 18.
Washington (12-10) avoided a third straight loss by scoring four times in the bottom of the ninth of Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
Adam LaRoche singled in Jayson Werth for the winning run after Werth tied it with a two-run double on a 3-0 pitch.
"I can't imagine anybody thinking (Werth) was going to swing 3-0 right there. It surprised all of us," LaRoche said. "He came up huge. Big win, needless to say. We needed that one."
LaRoche went 3 for 5 and is batting .360 during a seven-game hitting streak. He also has a seven-game hit streak against San Diego and is batting .346 with four homers and 12 RBIs in his past 14 versus the Padres.
