Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Carter Kieboom; new clubhouse leaders; + more...

Carter Kieboom hit his first home run of the season on Monday night, connected for his 2nd on Wednesday, and on Thursday afternoon, the 23-year-old, 2016 first round pick went 2 for 4 with his first double of 2021 and a walk, and his 4th multi-hit game in the last seven.

Kieboom had a five-game hit streak coming out of the finale with Philadelphia’s Phillies, and hits in seven of his last eight, over which he was 11 for 27 (.407/.469/.667).

“He’s being aggressive, he’s being aggressive in the strike zone,” Davey Martinez said after the fourth straight loss to the Phillies.
