Souza got the start in left field Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a solo shot, his first career major league home run. With the Nationals having clinched the NL East title on Tuesday, manager Matt Williams emptied his bench and gave all his starters the night off. Washington is currently one game up on the Dodgers in the win column for the NL's best record, however, so expect Souza to return to pinch-hitting duties as long as the Nats have something to fight for.
