Daylen Lile Extends Hitting Streak With Two-Homer Outburst
Washington Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile is heating up and extended his hitting streak to five games in the team's 10-4 win over the hosting Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Lile went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI. The 23-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder's homers came off Brady Singer in the fourth inning and reliever Luis Mey in the fifth frame. His home runs snapped a drought of 16 straight games with a long ball. During his current five-game hitting streak, the 23-year-old has gone 8-for-19 (.421) with two homers, two doubles, five RBI, and two runs scored to boost his season slash line to .264/.331/.423 in 163 at-bats. Lile is now up to five homers on the season and has added 19 RBI, 26 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 41 games played. He hasn't been excellent this year, but Lile could be turning a corner in mid-May.
