Turn-on: With a single as part of the Washington Nationals’ big, ten-run fifth on Wednesday, Trea Turner extended his on-base streak to 22-straight games, over which the Nats’ 26-year-old shortstop has gone 31 for 91 (.341/.408/.538) with four doubles, a triple, four home runs, and 11 walks in 103 plate appearances.
Since he returned from a 39-game stint on the Injured List for a broken right index finger on May 17th, the Nationals are 47-30, going from an 18-25 record to 65-55 after their fourth win in a row on Wednesday.
So how big a role has Turner played in that turnaround?
