It seems appropriate to pick a member of the Washington Nationals as my MLBoyfriend on the 4th of July. However, my selection of Danny Espinosa is not a hollow display of patriotism. Last week, he had a .423 batting average and 1.593 OPS with five home runs and a whopping seventeen RBIs--he brought home six more runs than anyone in MLB.
Most of Espinosa's fireworks at the plate came in a four game series against the Cincinnati Reds
in which he hit the five home runs including two grand slams. Not surprisingly, the crowd in Nationals Park showed him a lot of love.
He made several trips out of the dugout for "curtain calls".
