Nationals' Trea Turner: Reaches base twice Tuesday

Turner got the start in center field Tuesday and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and his fifth stolen base of the season.

Analysis:

The Nationals, who have lost six of their last eight games, are looking for someone to spark their offense and the speedy Turner might just fit the bill. All five of his steals have come in his last seven games, although he's hitting just .250 (8-for-32) during that stretch. With Ryan Zimmerman off the DL and Daniel Murphy shifted back to second base, Turner's best route to playing time will likely continue to be in center at the expense of the struggling Ben Revere.
