Kendrick's offensive tear impresses younger Nationals teammates

Howie Kendrick admits he is too old and banged up physically to be an everyday player in the major leagues.

But the Washington Nationals veteran is more than qualified to keep hitting — and he has done that with amazing success this season.

The 36-year-old utilityman has hit ..444 in a 30-game stretch through Wednesday’s 5-1 loss to the Cardinals in St. Louis. The stretch includes after a three-hit performance in a win against the Cardinals on Tuesday and two more hits on Wednesday.

“Howie, again. It is great to see,” Nationals bench coach Chip Hale said.
