Jeimer Candelario and Joey Meneses hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, Alex Call also went deep, and the Washington Nationals snapped a five-game skid with an 8-3 win over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers on Saturday.
WASHINGTON —
The Nationals led 4-0 before Texas starter Andrew Heaney recorded an out. After back-to-back singles, Candelario — who sat out Friday's series opener after being hit by a pitch on his right knee a day earlier — homered to right-center. Meneses had two home runs in his first 80 games after smacking 13 in 56 contests as a rookie last season, and he could be on the cusp of a power surge after starting to get the ball in the air this week.
Irvin remained in the game after a rain delay of an hour and 17 minutes at the start of the fourth inning. The rookie promptly walked Adolis García and allowed Jung's home run to right. He managed to make it through five innings to win at home for the first time in nine starts.
