Nationals' Jayson Werth: Reaches base three times in Friday victory

Werth went 1-for-2 with a two-run double, two walks and a run scored in Friday's 9-6 victory over the Phillies.

Analysis:

The 37-year-old blasted his double in the third inning, cutting the Phillies' 4-0 lead in half and effectively starting the Nationals' comeback from a surprise early deficit. Werth now has six RBI over the last three games, and has hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests. The veteran slugger has progressively heated up at the plate over the course of the season, and has raised his average 43 points over the last month.
