The Texas Rangers cruised to a 5-0 shutout victory over the Washington Nationals, with Cal Quantrill pitching seven strong innings and Justin Foscue launching a key solo homer. The Rangers jumped out early, scoring in the first via Wyatt Langford’s fielder’s choice, then extended their lead with Foscue’s blast in the second and a three-run third inning capped by Corey Freeman’s RBI single. Despite a late-inning threat in the eighth with runners on second and third, Jakob Junis struck out the batter on three pitches to preserve the shutout. Nationals starter Jackson Kent took the loss after lasting just under four innings, as Washington falls to five straight losses. Tonight, they face Jacob deGrom — making his first start since battling right triceps fatigue — in what could be a pivotal moment for their skid.
