ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — First baseman Nathaniel Lowe has lost to Washington in the final salary arbitration case this year and will get the Nationals' $10.3 million offer rather than his $11.1 million request. That leaves teams with a winning record at 5-4. Lowe hit .265 with 16 homers and a career-high 89 RBIs last season for the Texas Rangers, who traded him to Washington on Dec. 22 for left-hander Robert Garcia. Lowe had a $7.5 million salary last year and is eligible for arbitration again next offseason and for free agency after the 2026 World Series.
