WASHINGTON — Cody Bradford described his first MLB win as “hot and sweaty.”
Yeah, it was that kind of night weather-wise in the nation’s capital. Warm, muggy, etc. Good enough conditions though for Bradford, a 25-year-old Aledo, Texas, native, to record one of his best starts yet and continue a strong stretch for the Rangers’ spot starter.
Bradford pitched five innings, allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk in the Rangers’ 7-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday at Nationals Park. He gave up a two-out solo home run to Washington’s No. 3 hitter Joey Meneses in the first inning but followed with four straight scoreless innings.
