6 years agoWashington Nationals utility man Howie Kendrick had another big game Thursday night against the Dodgers. Kendrick started the game with a bang, taking Dodgers starter Rich Hill deep for a three-run home run in the first inning, his sixth of the season. Kendrick would later add an RBI single in the eighth inning to finish 2-for-5 with four RBI on the night. Kendrick saw everyday time at third base while Anthony Rendon was injured. After Rendon's return, the Nationals have kept Kendrick's hot bat in the lineup, playing him at first base in four of the last five games. As long as he is in the Nationals lineup, Kendrick should be in fantasy lineups as well this season.--Walt Clark
