  Harrison went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox. Harrison took Zack Godley deep in the fourth inning for his third homer of the season.

• Nationals' Josh Harrison: Smacks second homer

  08/29/2020 •

  Harrison went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 10-2 win over the Red Sox.

Just as Cabrera and Howie Kendrick have done over the last few years, Harrison seems to be reviving his career in Washington -- the sample size is small, but a .286/.313/.536 slash line has the 33-year-old on pace for an OPS over .800 for the first time since 2014.
