Joan Adon had a breakout outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks last month, in which the 23-year-old Washington Nationals’ righty tossed 6 1⁄3 scoreless innings, holding the D-backs’ hitters to three hits and two walks, but in back-to-back starts against San Francisco’s Giants which followed, Adon gave up a combined 10 hits, four walks, and nine earned runs over just 8 IP, four in each turn in the rotation.
Coming out of the second start against the Giants (4 H, 3 BB, 4 ER), Adon talked about the need to attack the zone instead of nibbling when asked to assess his own struggles in the outing.
