Of course, the numbers the second baseman put up made him a pretty obvious candidate.
How did the past seven days go?
For the second time this month, MLB has named @Sgennett2 the National League Player of the Week! Gennett hit a ridiculous .517/.531/.897 over the last seven games with 3 HR and 10 RBI. Congrats once again, Scooter! 🛴 pic.twitter.com/4OaWU25bRH

Well, he only went 12 for 24 with three homers, 10 RBIs and two doubles in six games. Gennett also scored six runs.
He led the league in hit, slugging percentage and total bases.

Gennett is the first player to win the NL Player of the Week award twice this season, having done so in the second week of May as well.
In the American League, Francisco Lindor of the Indians is also a two-time winner of the player of the week award this season.
