They'll look to do that by going for a three-game series sweep in Sunday afternoon's game against the visiting Oakland Athletics.Washington beat the Athletics 3-2 on Saturday night on Ruiz's home run to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning.
The Athletics have lost eight of their last 11 games. They've gone four games in a row without scoring more than two runs. A bright spot for Oakland came with outfielder Lawrence Butler rapping a seventh-inning double for his first career hit. It came in his second game since the promotion to the Athletics.
