Nolan Arenado shines with four hits in Cardinals' narrow victory

Nolan Arenado went 4-for-5 with a double and scored twice in the Cardinals' 7-6 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Arenado, lifting his batting average to .265. While his power numbers have been modest this year, with only seven homers to his name, games like this remind fantasy managers of his potential to rack up hits and contribute to scoring. However, his low walk rate and moderate strikeout rate suggest that consistency might continue to be an issue. Fantasy managers should view Arenado as a solid option at third base, though perhaps not the elite performer he has been in past seasons.
