Luis García was on a nice run at the plate before Washington recalled the 23-year-old from Triple-A Rochester earlier this month, going 14 for 40 (.325 AVG), with three doubles, three walks, and six runs scored in the last 11 games, and 6 for 13 (.462 AVG) in the final three for the Nationals’ top minor league affiliate, where he played for a month-plus after struggling offensively in the big leagues in his first 100 games and 407 plate appearances between late March and early August this season (.259/.293/.362, 13 doubles, four triples, six home runs, 21 BBs, 51 Ks).
