The Nationals had a busy week, so many players took to Twitter to talk about it. We've put it all together for you here. Sandy Leon started the week with his first career home run. Jerry Blevins and Aaron Barret thought it deserved a couple of Twitter shoutouts.

@sandyleon41 congrats on first homer!

Denard Span gave a shoutout to his teammates that showered him in Gatorade after his game-winning sac fly.
