Washington Nationals vs. Texas Rangers: Game Highlights

Quantrill (5-4) struck out five and did not issue a walk.

Foscue hit a 400-foot home run over the left field wall in the second inning to give Texas a 2-0 lead.

Wyatt Langford scored the first run of the game on Jake Burger's double-play groundout in the first.

The Rangers added three more runs in the third.

Langford scored on Brandon Nimmo's fielder's choice to make it 3-0. The Nationals challenged the call, but the decision was upheld after a review. Corey Seager scored after Foscue was walked with the bases loaded and Corey Freeman hit an RBI single to make it 5-0.

The Nationals came close to scoring in the eighth inning after Nasim Nuñez singled and pinch-hitter Andrés Chaparro hit a ground-rule double to put runners in scoring position with two outs. Jakob Junis came in to pitch and struck out José Tena on three pitches to end the inning and leave the runners stranded.

Nationals starter Jackson Kent (0-1) pitched 3 2/3 innings, giving up eight hits and five earned runs. He struck out and walked three.

Trevor Williams pitched the next 3 1/3 innings, striking out five. Washington has now lost five straight games.

Up next RHP Cade Cavalli (10-5, 3.36 ERA) will start for the Nationals on Wednesday. RHP Kumar Rocker (4-9, 4.50) goes for the Rangers in the rotation spot of Jacob deGrom, who is still day to day after coming out of his last start, on Aug. 13, because right triceps fatigue.

This version corrects that Kumar Rocker, not Jacob deGrom, is starting for the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
