WASHINGTON - The game between the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals, scheduled for 12:35 p.m. CT Sunday, was delayed by inclement weather. A line of showers was approaching Nationals Park around the scheduled game time, according to Nationals officials, leading to the delay.

Josh Smith fouled off the first pitch of the game, a 91.5 mph four-seamer from Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober. He took a split second before stepping back into the box. Then, the Rangers' utility

Bochy did not indicate how long Latz would pitch or the arrangement of the relievers after Latz.  The only pitcher he said he intends to stay away from is right-handed reliever Chris Martin, who pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's victory over the Nationals.

After the Nationals shut out the Rangers in game one of the series, Texas returned the favor last night. A Jacob Degrom masterclass lifted the Rangers to a 5-0 win. The streaky Nationals offense needs to get back on track. They have been very quiet this home stand.

Texas returns home on Friday to host the Chicago White Sox. Nathan Eovaldi is eligible to be activated from the IL that day. If all goes well with his right elbow inflammation, he could be activated to start and give deGrom an extra day of rest.

Alex Call had finally done it. In the eighth inning, he worked a walk — the only free pass the Washington Nationals would earn Saturday. The moment was worthy of a celebration, so Call flipped his bat and jogged to first base as Robert Hassell III moved into scoring position.
