Trea Turner started last night’s matchup with a nine-game hit streak going, over which the 27-year-old shortstop was 14 for 38 (.368 AVG) with two doubles, two triples, two home runs, eight RBIs, five walks, six stolen bases, and 10 runs scored.
Turner went 0 for 3 the first three times up against Atlanta Braves’ starter Ian Anderson, but hit an RBI double to right-center off reliever Shane Greene in the eighth to extend his streak and drive in the only run the Washington Nationals scored in a 2-1 loss.
