Nationals Absorb 5-1 Loss at Globe Life Field
The home crowd had a good time watching the Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers get after it.

The Texas Rangers rode a solid performance from 30-year-old starting pitcher Paul Blackburn to a win, beating the Washington Nationals, 5-1, at Globe Life Field. The loss puts Washington at 8-23.

Jarren Duran had a big 2-run double for the Rangers in the bottom of the second inning. With Texas leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Javier Assad and swatted a double to right. It was his 6th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rangers ahead, 3-0.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Texas manager Daryl S.
