Kyle Schwarber led off the first inning with his 12th home run in 10 games to help the Washington Nationals to a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night. He continues to add on to the franchise record for home runs in a month.
Tampa Bay Rays
After losing a season-high seven games from June 15-22, the Rays went on a four-game winning streak before losing to the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 on Sunday.

Washington Nationals
Kyle Schwarber hit his 14th home run of June to set the Nationals record for the most home runs in a calendar month since the team was founded as the Montreal Expos in 1969. Schwarber broke a tie with former National Bryce Harper (May 2015) and retired Expo Vladimir Guerrero (September 2000) to take the record for himself.
Schwarber has been a great offseason addition for the Nationals as he has a team-best 22 homers and 50 RBI’s.
The Nationals are set to start Jon Lester on Wednesday. In 11 starts this season, Ross is 1-3 with a 4.99 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. Lester is coming off the worst start of his season, allowing 7 ER in just in just 2.1 innings.
