CJ Abrams got caught stealing second in the seventh inning of a May 5th game against the Chicago Cubs in the nation’s capital, but he hasn’t been caught since. Going into Sunday’s game with the New York Mets in Citi Field, Abrams, 22, had stolen 18 consecutive bases (for 24 total on the year).
Abrams added three more stolen bases in the Washington Nationals’ 5-2 loss in their series finale with the Mets in Flushing, Queens.
“Per @EliasSports,” the Nats’ PR team noted during the game, “... with three stolen bases today, CJ Abrams has stolen 21 consecutive bases without being caught.
