San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit his third home run of the season on Tuesday, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in the win over Cincinnati.

Victor Robles Batting Ninth Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles has been moved from first to ninth in the team's batting order for Wednesday's game. Trea Turner and Juan Soto move up one spot to first and second, respectively.

Trea Turner Having Some Early Strikeout Woes

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hasn't shown great plate discipline through the early going this year. Through eight games, he has a 24.2% strikeout rate, up from 13.9% last year.
