Two more swipes in win
Nunez went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Analyse
Nunez is up to 37 steals on the season, including three during the three-game set in Sacramento. The infielder is getting the bulk of the playing time at second base for the Nationals and continues to make an impact with his speed. The batting has been just passable -- he's hitting .246 with a .623 OPS, one home run, 28 RBI, 42 runs scored, four doubles and three triples over 92 contests this season.

Swipes 35th bag in Friday's rout
Nunez went 3-for-6 with three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the A's.
Analyse
The Nationals scored three or more runs in five different innings on their way to a 23-4 rout, and Nunez was one of six Washington players with multiple hits and one of seven to cross the plate multiple times. His sixth-inning steal was his 35th of the season, putting him five clear of Bobby Witt for the major-league lead. Nunez was getting by on his defense and speed early in the season, but since the beginning of June he's produced a stunning .343/.407/.431 slash line over 114 plate appearances.
