WASHINGTON - The game between the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals, scheduled for 12:35 p.m. CT Sunday, was delayed by inclement weather. A line of showers was approaching Nationals Park around the scheduled game time, according to Nationals officials, leading to the delay.

The Texas Rangers started this reliever in a bullpen game and his otherwise excellent game was derailed by a potential injury in the fourth inning.

Evan Carter and Jake Burger each finished a triple short of the cycle as the Texas Rangers beat the slumping Washington Nationals 4-2.

The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Washington Nationals scored two runs.

The Washington Nationals roster will look different when they face the New York Mets in a series opener on Tuesday.

It’s only one week and two series, but after ranking ninth in May with 133 runs scored, the Washington Nationals have plated a MLB-low 11 runs in June.

WASHINGTON — Saturday was another incredible performance from Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom. He shut out the Washington Nationals on Saturday, 5-0. It wasn’t just that he shut them out. He dominated them. The 36-year-old right-hander gave up two hits and no walks while he struck out eight.

Alex Call had finally done it. In the eighth inning, he worked a walk — the only free pass the Washington Nationals would earn Saturday. The moment was worthy of a celebration, so Call flipped his bat and jogged to first base as Robert Hassell III moved into scoring position.
