Guillermo Heredia scored three times

Heredia went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's win 16-4 over the Nationals. Heredia made most of his first start of the season, but he's unlikely to see a major uptick in opportunities as a result. he filled in in right field for Eddie Rosario due to the Nationals bringing lefty Patrick Corbin to the hill.
