Wire Taps: Washington Nationals beat NY Mets again; Kyle Schwarber homers twice again; Ryan Zimmerman comes up big again

So, is Davey Martinez more surprised when Kyle Schwarber doesn’t hit a home run in a game at this point?

“No,” Martinez said with a laugh after another two-home run game on Monday night. “It really — I tell him all the time when he goes up there I just want him to have good at bats, I remind him every time, ‘Hey, take your walks, get the ball in the strike zone,’ and when he does that, you’ve seen what he can do.

“He’s been awesome. And he’s been an unbelievable leadoff hitter for us, so it’s been good.
