LaRoche went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in the Nats' win over the Pirates on Saturday night. The blast was LaRoche's 18th of the season, and was part of a three-run eighth inning that tied the game. Finger and elbow injuries slowed LaRoche down last season, but he's rebounded to a .276/.377/.470 line over the first four-plus months this season.
