Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.
Fitzgerald took the second pitch of the game out to left field for a leadoff homer. The 26-year-old has taken over leadoff duties versus left-handed starters -- he's been atop the order against the last three southpaws the Giants have faced since Jorge Soler was traded to Atlanta. Fitzgerald has certainly earned a prominent spot in the lineup with 11 homers over his last 17 contests and a .314/.373/.650 slash line across 153 plate appearances this year.
