Joan Adon got into the fifth inning in each of his first two starts this season, but he did not get out of the inning in either of those outings, giving up a combined 13 hits (three home runs), seven walks, and 10 earned runs (10.00 ERA, 8.26 FIP, .333/.447/.641 line against) in nine innings. But in start No. 3 he held the opposition scoreless over 6 1⁄3 innings pitched, which he completed on 88 pitches, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out five of the 24 batters he faced.
