A split in Baltimore and two of three in Texas? Not bad. This year for Washington, you’ll take it. It may have been a little bit closer than necessary in their 6-4 win over the Rangers, but a win is a win is a win. Right?
“I wanted these guys to be aggressive early in the game, and they did that today,” manager Davey Martinez said after his club put up six runs in the first two innings and held on when the home team rallied for a run in the seventh and three in the ninth.
With 10 hits total, the six runs early, a 4 for 10 day with runners in scoring position, and yet another solid start from Jackson Tetreault, the Nationals took the series in Globe Life Field.
