• Engel Beltre started in right field and Craig Gentry in center field on Tuesday. Washington wanted to give Leonys Martin and David Murphy a day off.

• Nathan recorded his 329th career save on Monday, pulling into a tie for 12th place on the Majors' all-time list with former Rangers reliever Francisco Cordero. With his next save, Nathan will tie Wetteland for 11th place.

• The Rangers have introduced two new sandwiches named after first baseman Mitch Moreland. The Mitchwich Wild features ground buffalo and elk with chorizo, bacon, jalapenos, back bean spread and fried onions, served on a sourdough bun with a side of potato chips. The Mitchwich Mild is an elk burger patty, topped with bacon, tomatoes, baby arugula and Colby jack cheese, served on a sourdough bun with a side of chips.
