Instant replay and observations from the Rangers' 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals Sunday at Nationals Park:
What you need to know: Austin Bibens-Dirkx beat Max Scherzer and the Rangers swept the team with the best record in the National League. Is there much more that needs to be said? OK, here's this: The go-ahead run scored on an eighth-inning passed ball. The Rangers moved back within two games of .500, and despite everything they've deal with this year, they are two games back of the second wild card spot in the American League.
Dude of the day: Usually, this goes to a position player, but, on Sunday?
