The Texas Rangers look to head into the All-Star break with momentum by clinching a series win against the host Washington Nationals on Saturday.
The Rangers, who won Friday's opener 7-2 to end a slide in which they dropped four of their previous five games, had no trouble dealing the Nationals their fifth straight loss.
Washington has lost 15 of 16 at Nationals Park since June 3. The Nationals, who are in last place in the National League East, are an NL-worst 13-32 at home. Texas, which is in first in the American League West, is 25-19 on the road this season. "As far as going back out there, near the end of my last two starts, I gave up two homers in Chicago in my last inning and a homer in my last inning of the start against Detroit, so I haven't inspired confidence of late," Heaney said. "I haven't earned that trust from [manager Bruce] Bochy, and our bullpen has been great. So I understand. I believe in myself. I always want to go out there and take the ball, but I also know that I've got to earn it.
