After a rough start to the Washington Nationals‘ season, Wilmer Difo has come into his own again.
Charged with filling in for the injured Howie Kendrick, as Daniel Murphy rehabs from a knee injury, Difo has had a good May. The Nats are charging up the National League East standings, while he’s carried a .282/.349/.462 slash line. He’s even powered three home runs and a triple to boot.
Saturday, his triple scored Max Scherzer for the game-winning run against the Atlanta Braves in the 14th inning. A huge hit in a game Washington needed to win.
