Keibert Ruiz went 3 for 3 with two doubles, two walks, and 3 RBIs in the Nationals’ sweep-avoiding, extra-innings win over Miami’s Marlins on Wednesday night, continuing a solid stretch for Washington’s 23-year-old catcher, over which he’s 15 for 43 (.349/.462/.512) with a home run, four doubles, eight walks, and four Ks in 12 games and 54 plate appearances.
Ruiz’s second double of the game came in the top of the 10th, when he drove Dee Strange-Gordon in for the eventual winning run.
“I cannot say enough about Keibert, what a tremendous game he had, honestly,” manager Davey Martinez said after the one win in three in Miami.
