Escobar went 3-for-7 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Two errors in the matinee helped ruin Erick Fedde's day, but Escobar atoned for his shaky glovework with his bat, driving in three runs in the first game before swatting his second homer of the season off Tylor Megill in the fifth inning of the nightcap. The veteran shortstop hit second in both contests, and in 48 games for the Nats he's slashing a surprising .283/.335/.384 -- numbers that would give him the second-best OPS of his career, behind only the .721 mark he reached in 2012 with the Royals.
