The Texas Rangers defeated the Washington Nationals 7-2 Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 07: Adolis Garcia #53 of the Texas Rangers gestures as he runs the bases after he hit a home run against the Washington Nationals during the seventh inning at Nationals Park on July 07, 2023 in Washington, DC. Adolis García and Corey Seager homered, rookie Cody Bradford earned his first major league victory, and thedefeated the Washington Nationals 7-2 Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Seager and García both homered in the seventh inning off reliever Joan Adon, who was making his first major league appearance in exactly one year. García was named a starting outfielder for Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Seattle earlier in the day, which put Texas in line to become the first team since the 1976 Cincinnati Reds to have five position players start an All-Star Game.
Bradford allowed one run — Meneses’ shot in the first — over five innings to secure a win in his seventh career appearance and fifth start. Texas scored twice in the first off Trevor Williams on García’s grounder and Jonah Heim’s RBI single. "I can’t say enough about what Trevor did," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "We needed that, big-time. Like I said before the game, he’s a true veteran. He knows he had to go out there and he knows he had to take the ball."
