Washington needed one swing in the first and one more in the second, and that was enough. The Angels dropped their seventh straight, 4-2 at Nationals Park, with CJ Abrams driving in every run the home team would need.

Abrams did the damage early. After James Wood lined a single to left in the opening frame, Abrams turned on a George Klassen offering and sent it 388 feet to right for a two-run shot. He came back an inning later with two on and two out, doubling to right to score Keibert Ruiz and Daylen Lile for a 4-0 lead before the Angels had put a ball in play worth remembering.

They couldn't put much of anything in play at all against Mitchell Parker. The Nationals starter carried a no-hitter through four innings on five strikeouts and a lone walk, and Los Angeles didn't record its first hit until Josh Lowe grounded a single to right in the fifth off Andre Granillo. Lowe stole second, but Ke'Bryan Hayes struck out chasing a slider to strand him.

The Angels' only real threat came in the sixth. Jo Adell drew a walk off Jackson Rutledge, Zach Neto singled up the middle to push him to third, and Yoán Moncada doubled to right to score both. Rutledge never recorded an out, charged with two hits, a walk and two earned runs, and Ken Waldichuk came on to get Ben Williamson on a fly ball to center. That was the extent of it. Washington's bullpen combined for five scoreless innings behind Parker, and Clayton Beeter struck out the side around a Williamson single in the ninth for his 39th save.

Klassen took the loss in a start that wasn't nearly as bad as the line suggests, working five innings with seven strikeouts against two walks. Four of the six hits he allowed came in the two innings Abrams reached him. Sam Bachman and Drew Pomeranz followed with three shutout frames, allowing three baserunners between them.

Moncada and Hayes each doubled for Los Angeles, which struck out 13 times and finished with five hits. The loss drops the Angels to 59-87, 25 games back in the AL West. Washington moves to 65-83.

"We just want to get over the line at this point." - Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike TRout
