LeMahieu homered, tripled, walked, scored three times, and knocked in two batters in a 3-for-3 game Tuesday against the Nationals.
LeMahieu is white hot, as he is now 7-for-7 in his past two games and extended his hitting streak to eight games with Tuesday's performance. He has three doubles, a triple and two home runs and six walks and zero strikeouts in this stretch, as he is not only hitting the ball for power but exhibiting stellar plate discipline. LeMahieu's line is up to a brilliant .342/.415/.498. Only Jose Altuve, Daniel Murphy and Matt Carpenter have a better OPS than LeMahieu's .913 among qualified second basemen.
