Flipping great! Trea Turner turns a couple of defensive gems for Washington Nationals

Clearly struggling in many phases of the game, the Washington Nationals have to find something to build on to avert what could be a catastrophic season.

One bright spot in Saturday night’s 6-2 loss was the defensive play of Trea Turner, who made two key plays at shortstop that kept the game from getting out of hand in the fifth inning of the seven-inning contest.

Turner and Ryan Zimmerman were also responsible for all of the run production on a sloppy, wet night that had both teams looking at times like they’d rather not be there.
