    • Homers in blowout win
      Westburg went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Westburg did his damage early, lifting a two-run blast in the first inning. He had gone 0-for-7 over the first two games of the weekend series in Cincinnati. The homer was his first since April 21 and his sixth of the year. The infielder has added a strong .286/.336/.513 slash line with 23 RBI, 18 runs scored, four steals, five doubles and two triples through 32 contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:05 pm
       
    • Jordan Westburg homers in win over Reds
      Jordan Westburg went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

      Advice: Westburg jumped on Nick Lodolo in the first inning with a 378-foot home run that left the bat at 101.9 mph. It was Westburg’s sixth home run of the season to go along with 23 RBIs. It’s been a breakout month for the 25-year-old, but he’s seen his triple slash fall to .286/.336/.513 after going 6-for-28 over his last seven games. The quality of contact gains are real but Westburg is swinging and missing a lot more this season, so the batting average may continue to slip a little bit in the coming weeks.

    • Homers, swipes bag in four-hit day
      Garcia went 4-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a steal during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Garcia's third homer of the season was a solo shot in the third and represented the second of his four hits on the day, with three of those hits producing runs. It was the culmination of a big weekend for Garcia, who went 7-for-9 with two walks, two homers, eight RBI and four runs and a steal during the three-game set, raising his average to .337 in the process.

    • Luis García Jr. goes 4-for-4, homers in victory
      Before being lifted for a pinch-hitter, Luis García Jr. went 4-for-4 with a homer and a walk Sunday as the Nationals topped the Blue Jays 11-8.

      Advice: Only Dave Martinez, man. It wasn’t even because there was a lefty in that García was pulled. Instead, Martinez brought in Ildemaro Vargas to lay down a bunt in Garcia’s place with a 10-8 lead in the eighth. Most annoying is that it worked out; not only did Vargas bunt the runner to third, but he reached first after the Jays tried and failed to retire the lead man, and the Nationals scored one run in the inning. It was García’s third career four-hit game. He’s actually one of the rare major leaguers to have had six hits in a game, doing so against the Royals last year. García is hitting .337/.381/.510 this season. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:00 pm
       
    • Luis García Jr. hits three-run homer off bench
      Luis García Jr. delivered a three-run homer as a pinch-hitter and later walked Friday as the Nationals came back to beat the Blue Jays 9-3.

      Advice: García’s homer off Erik Swanson made it a 5-3 game in the eighth, and the Nationals kept piling on from there. García was on the bench against a lefty tonight, but it really seems like he should be a full-timer at this point. He’s batting .300/.344/.456, and it seems unlucky that he has just two homers on eight barrels. Rotoworld Friday, 8:12 pm
       
    • Big homer off bench Friday
      Garcia went 1-for-1 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The 23-year-old began the night on the bench with Yusei Kikuchi toeing the rubber for Toronto, but Garcia got the call to pinch hit for Trey Lipscomb in the seventh inning once the southpaw was out of the game. Garcia delivered, launching the first pitch he saw from Erik Swanson to straightaway center field to put the Nationals in the lead for good. The long ball was his second of the season, and the first pinch-hit blast of his career. Garcia is headed toward a breakout campaign, slashing .300/.344/.456 through 27 contests with five steals, six runs and 14 RBI. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:58 pm
       
    • Luis Garcia Jr. sits against left-hander on Friday
      Luis Garcia Jr. is not in the Nationals’ starting lineup on Friday night with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Like Garcia, fellow left-handers Jesse Winker and Eddie Rosario will get a night off with the southpaw on the hill for the Jays. Trey Lipscomb will make a rare start at second base and will bat ninth in Garcia’s place while Nick Senzel covers the hot corner for the Nationals. Rotoworld Friday, 2:03 pm
       
    • Sitting against southpaw Wednesday
      Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: With lefty Andrew Heaney on the hill for Texas, the lefty-hitting Garcia will move to the bench Wednesday. Ildemaro Vargas will pick up the start at second base in place of Garcia, who has now sat out three times -- all against southpaws -- in the last four games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:24 pm
       
    • Luis Garcia drives in lone run for Nats in loss
      Luis Garcia went 1-for-3 with one RBI in the Nationals’ loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Garcia got the scoring started for the Nationals in the top of the first when he singled home C.J. Abrams after Abrams led things off with a single and a steal. Unfortunately, that would be all the offense the Nationals could muster, as they were held to just one hit the rest of the way in the 7-1 defeat. Garcia ends the first month of the season batting .294 with one homer and 11 RBI. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:39 pm
