Washington Nationals news & notes: Nats drop 5th straight, Rangers win 7-2 in series opener in D.C.

All three runs Trevor Williams allowed in his five-inning start against the Phillies in CBP last week came on a pair of home runs in the first (by Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto), but the starter settled in after the rough start, and gave the Nationals four scoreless innings after the three-run first, earning the W in what ended up being a 5-4 game in the visiting team’s favor.

Williams left a full-count curve up inside for Castellanos, who hit it 380 ft. to left, and Realmuto hit the second home run of the game on a first-pitch fastball that was pretty much middle-middle.
