There weren't many firsts left for him to pick up in his third game yet, Crews checked off another box. To lead off the Nationals half of the first, Crews belted his first big league home run off of Carlos Rodon. He'd later give the Nationals another run with an RBI double helping the Nationals in taking the series 2-1 from the Yankees,
