Rays Curb Nationals, 9-2
The Tampa Bay Rays topped the Washington Nationals, 9-2, the lion's share of the credit going to designated hitter Manuel Margot. On the day, Margot was 2-3 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Rays. Tampa Bay pitcher Jeffrey Springs got the win. He's now 4-2. Stephen Strasburg was tagged with the loss. Colby White earned the save for Tampa Bay, his 2nd.

Margot had a key at-bat for Tampa Bay early in the game. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 2-run double. It was his 17th double of the season and gave Tampa Bay an early 3-1 lead.

"We maximized our offense today," said Tampa Bay skipper Michael Jank. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The Rays improve their record to 53-30 with the win over Washington.
