WASHINGTON (AP) — Evan Carter and Jake Burger each finished a triple short of the cycle as the Texas Rangers beat the slumping Washington Nationals 4-2 on Sunday.

Carter hit a two-run homer, doubled and singled his first three times up, but struck out in the eighth inning. Burger doubled, flied out and singled before providing an insurance run with a homer in the eighth.

Jacob Webb (3-3), the second of five Texas pitchers in a bullpen game, threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Robert Garcia got four outs for his fourth save.

The Rangers, 5-0 winners behind Jacob deGrom on Saturday, have won consecutive games for the first time since a six-game streak May 10-15.

Alex Call homered and singled for the Nationals, who have scored only 11 runs in their past seven games. Nathaniel Lowe
