Lane Thomas

Pitchers, beware when throwing to Washington Nationals Lane Thomas. Over the past four games, the 28-year-old has been tearing the cover off the ball and producing for his team. His hot stretch continued Saturday when the outfielder crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to give his squad a 5-2 lead in their eventual win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The designated hitter’s longball was his fourth in as many games, making him the first Nationals player to accomplish that feat since Bryce Harper in 2016.
