Matt Adams is on an absolute tear. His second home run of the game tonight in San Diego, CA was his 10th of 2018, his seventh in the last seven games, and eighth in the last eleven.
After hitting a two-run bomb in the sixth inning, Adams hit a three-run blast in the seventh to put the Nationals up 8-2 on the Padres in what ended up an 8-5 win in the series opener for Washington in Petco Park.
Stephen Strasburg started in his home town, tossing seven innings on 109 pitches, striking out five while inducing 10 ground ball outs from the 25 batters he faced, giving up three in another solid start.
