After Thursday's game was postponed, the shortstop hit a walk-off three-run shot in the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader. Saturday's game was rained out, so Kieboom had to wait until the first game of Sunday's twinbill to send another one of the yard. He did so in his first at-bat.
The 21-year-old was called up to the Nationals on April 26 and played 11 games in D.C. before being optioned back to Fresno on May 7. Kieboom collected a .128/.209/.282 slash line with a pair of solo taters and four walks with Washington.
Last season, the 6-foot-2 Georgia native batted .280/.357/.444 with 16 homers, 69 RBIs, 48 extra-base hits and nine steals in 123 games split between Double-A Harrisburg and Class A Advanced Potomac.
