Washington Beaten, 7-5, by Texas
The Washington Nationals got a sterling performance from third baseman Jose Ramirez, but the Texas Rangers still prevailed, 7-5. Ramirez hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. After today's action, Texas sits at 28-38, while Washington falls to 33-33.

Gary Sanchez came through with a big-time hit for Texas. The designated hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Sanchez told the Texas Daily News.
