Joey Meneses delivered a solo homer and an RBI double as the Nationals topped the Rangers 8-3 on Saturday.
After hitting two homers in 80 games, Meneses has now managed three in two days. He’s been fortunate that the Nationals have stuck with him this long, though it’s not like there much of a sense of urgency in D.C. If he can get hot here, a trade to a contender could be a possibility later this month. The Nationals, though, won’t let him go cheap, since even though he’s 31 years old, he’s due to make little more than the major league minimum again next year.
