In the victorious postgame clubhouse, there was a lot of talk about vibes. And the Nats’ vibes are immaculate.
CJ Abrams gets some dap from his teammates after blasting a third-inning homer against the Tigers. “We’re getting guys on, getting them in and our pitchers are doing their thing. So let’s keep rocking,” the shortstop said. DETROIT — CJ Abrams was bound to return to form at the plate. In April, Abrams was one of the top shortstops in baseball. In May, he was anything but.
“We’re going out there and competing every day, carrying a good vibe,” Abrams said. “Things are going well for us. We’re getting guys on, getting them in and our pitchers are doing their thing. So let’s keep rocking.”Abrams is hitting just .242 in June , but six of those eight hits have been for extra bases.
Abrams began the month dealing with a shoulder injury that sidelined him from May 31 to June 4. Before that, he endured a dismal May . Pitchers attacked Abrams with breaking balls out of the zone and, too often, he’d chase. At times, he looked lost. Keibert Ruiz hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead before Abrams sparked a three-run rally in the fifth with a ground-rule double that drove in Jacob Young. Abrams worked a five-pitch at-bat and connected on a fastball in the zone.
