Despite being swept in three games at home by the Rangers, the Nationals still have the biggest division lead in the National League. Earlier in the week, Washington showed it could win without a dominant offense by taking two out of three games against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Nats picked up an easy 6-1 win over the Orioles in a makeup game, but struggled to get anything going at the plate over the weekend.

Texas held the Nationals lineup to six runs in two games, and beat Max Scherzer 5-1 Sunday. Scherzer notched 10 strikeouts in the game, including career No. 2,000, but didn’t receive any run support. No Washington batter hit .300 and the team combined to hit just five home runs during the week, which cost the Nats (91) the NL lead in homers to the Reds (92).
