Mind on Houston, Rendon extends career year

Throughout all the injuries the Nationals have endured this season, one of the stablizing forces in their lineup has been third baseman Anthony Rendon. Continuing a career year, Rendon’s double with the bases loaded in the seventh inning Tuesday helped seal an 8-3 victory against the Marlins as he cleared the bases as part of a four-RBI night. It increased Rendon’s RBI total to 85, matching a career high he set in 2016.
