Jacob deGrom allowed two hits in seven shutout innings and Marcus Semien drove in three runs to lead the Texas Rangers to a 5-0 victory over the Washington Nationals that snapped a four-game skid.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jacob deGrom has a 2.12 ERA. He has pitched at least five innings and allowed two or fewer runs in 10 straight starts, a Rangers record. His strikeout-to-walk rate continues to climb.

Alex Call had finally done it. In the eighth inning, he worked a walk — the only free pass the Washington Nationals would earn Saturday. The moment was worthy of a celebration, so Call flipped his bat and jogged to first base as Robert Hassell III moved into scoring position.
