WASHINGTON - After three pristine innings and a lovely cruise through the Washington National lineup, the Rangers asked for a little more from Jake Latz. Everything came apart. Including, it appears something on his finger.

The Texas Rangers started this reliever in a bullpen game and his otherwise excellent game was derailed by a potential injury in the fourth inning.

It’s only one week and two series, but after ranking ninth in May with 133 runs scored, the Washington Nationals have plated a MLB-low 11 runs in June.

Michael Soroka struck out seven in six sparkling innings, and the Washington Nationals beat Patrick Corbin and the Texas Rangers 2-0.

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.

It’s Friday, June 6 and the Rangers (29-34) are in Washington to take on the Nationals (29-33). Patrick Corbin is slated to take the mound for Texas against Michael Soroka for Washington.

Turns out, nothing does, in fact, happen very quickly in the nation’s capital. In this case, we’re not talking policy or governance, but just the continuing theme of the Rangers’ erstwhile 2025 season.

In a game that lasted just 1 hour, 50 minutes, Michael Soroka gets best of former Nat Patrick Corbin in Washington’s 2-0 win
