Instant replay and observations from the Rangers' 5-2 win over Washington Friday night at Nationals Park:
What you need to know: Andrew Cashner gave the Rangers a strong start and Jonathan Lucroy drove in three runs over the first five innings to help the Rangers beat Washington Friday. It was just the 10th win by the Rangers in 28 road games this season. With a win in either of the next two games, the Rangers can win a series for the first time since winning two of three from Detroit May 19-21.
Dude of the day: Jonathan Lucroy, who entered the game just 4 for 34 (.
