WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeimer Candelario and Joey Meneses hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, Alex Call also went deep, and the Washington Nationals snapped a five-game skid with an 8-3 win over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers. Jake Irvin earned his first victory since May 8 for Washington, which had lost 15 of its last 16 games at Nationals Park. Washington is an NL-worst 14-32 at home. Josh Jung homered twice for Texas, which has lost seven of 10. Jung, the AL’s starting third baseman in next week’s All-Star Game, leads all rookies with 19 home runs.
