Joan Adon, 23, tossed 6 1⁄3 scoreless against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his third start of the 2022 campaign and fourth start in the majors, but took something of a step back when he faced the San Francisco Giants last week in the nation’s capital, giving up six hits, a walk, and five earned runs in four-plus innings.
His manager, Davey Martinez, explained his thinking with the relatively quick hook for Adon.
“He had a bunch of high-leverage situations early, his pitch count got up there, so we thought it was the perfect time,” Martinez said.
