WASHINGTON -- It did not start the season as an intentional goal, but now that appearing in all 162 games this season is within reach, Trea Turner wants to complete the task. Turner started at shortstop Thursday night against the Mets, continuing his streak of playing in each of the Nationals' 153 games this season.
If he appears in each of the Nats' remaining nine games this season, Turner would become just the second player in team history to appear in every game in a single season, joining Ryan Zimmerman in 2007.
"I mean, got this far, so might as well," Turner said.
