Trea Turner Swipes His 20th Base

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner seems to find a way to contribute every single game, and that was the case Saturday, as he went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, and his 20th stolen base of the season. With 17 homers already, Turner seems practically assured of a 30-30 season barring injury. He's slashing […]
