Lucroy homers, drives in 3 to lift Rangers
(MLB.com Texas Rangers)

This six-game road trip will serve as a strong test for Rangers, as they match up against the team with the best record in each respective league, in the Nationals and Astros. They passed the first game of that test on Friday night as they hammered 13 hits -- including a two-run homer from Jonathan Lucroy and solo homer from Rougned Odor -- en route to a 5-2 victory in front of a sold-out crowd of 38,332 at Nationals Park.
