How the pitching staff carried the Rangers through winning homestand

The Texas Rangers are still looking for their first long winning streak of the year, but they won their second consecutive series, with this one coming against a competitive Washington Nationals team to conclude a winning homestand. There were a few consistent performers at the plate, and while they certainly merit a mention, the biggest story of this series surrounds the Rangers' pitching, which has exceeded expectations. The Ranger arms allowed just two runs total to the Nationals over this three-game set, and yet, they were still somehow unable to secure a sweep.
