Despite the Washington Nationals losing yesterday’s game to the Chicago Cubs 8-5 and dropping the first three games in the series at Wrigley Field the team has to be pleased with the performance from Ben Revere. In his second start since coming back from the oblique injury, Revere went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and two runs scored.
With Revere back in the lineup on a regular basis, he brings an instant upgrade to the leadoff spot in the lineup. So far this season, Washington Nationals’ leadoff hitters have the worst batting average in all of baseball (.
