Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes two more bags while on base twice Tuesday

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and two steals Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Turner has been an excellent source of runs and steals since taking over atop the Nationals order, with 51 and 29, respectively, in 68 games played. His free pass today helped improve the 23-year-old's walk rate to 3.3 percent, so patience is still something that he's working on. Still, it's hard to complain given that the 2014 first-rounder has come out of nowhere with a .340/.362/.560 line.
