Jeimer Candelario hit a three-run homer with Joey Meneses and Alex Call also going deep as the host Washington Nationals bashed the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Saturday to end a five-game losing streak.
The Nationals, who won for just the second time in their last 17 home games, built an 8-0 lead through three innings and then waited out a 77-minute rain delay before the fourth.
CJ Abrams and Lane Thomas led off the first with singles, and Candelario drove a changeup over the wall in center field for his 13th home run of the season. Three pitches later, Meneses cranked his fifth homer of the season to push the lead to four runs. Thomas singled later in the inning, stole second and rode home on a double by Meneses for a 7-0 lead.
