Escobar went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old continues to put together a fine encore to his career season in 2015 with the Nationals, as he's now slashing .314/.366/.426 after Saturday's effort. It was his second consecutive multi-hit effort, as well as his second straight outing with a pair of RBI. Escobar has done a solid job setting the table at the top of the Angels' order, and has been much more proficient at getting on base consistently than might have initially been expected.
