When the Washington Nationals’ offense is clicking, it can be as good as any in baseball. The lineup is capable of putting up a bunch of runs against any opponent, and a consistent offense might be the key for the Nationals to finally make a deep run in the playoffs.
Unfortunately for the Nationals, consistency is often hard to find — especially when it comes to offense. And for the Nationals to stay consistent at the plate, they’ll need several players to stay hot — including third baseman Anthony Rendon.
Last week, Rendon was hot at the plate, and he continued a second-half resurgence that has quickly made him one of the team’s most important hitters.
