Jul 3 Guzman went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the Nationals' loss to the Braves Friday.

Recommendation: Nyjer Morgan's arrival in D.C. bumped Guzman from the leadoff spot to the No. 6 slot. Batting a bit lower may result in more RBI opportunities, and two of his three Friday came with two outs.

Jul 3 SS Cristian Guzman, batting in the No. 6 spot for the first time Friday, drove in three runs after posting 18 RBI all season. The move was made in an effort to get Guzman in more RBI situations, and it worked in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Braves. "We want him hitting with those guys on base," manager Manny Acta said. "Sometimes we feel that his at-bat comes up after the eighth hitter and the pitcher. Right now, the way our offense is, we want to see him hitting with guys on base." Yahoo! Sports
