Joan Adon made the most of his opportunity in his MLB debut in Game 162, holding Boston to six hits, three walks, and two earned runs in 5 1⁄3 innings pitched.
Washington’s 23-year-old right-hander left the mound with the Nationals up 5-1 on the Red Sox in the finale of the regular season, but the bullpen coughed up the lead again with the visitors scoring one in the sixth and three in the seventh to tie things up at 5-5.
It was still tied in the top of the ninth, when Kyle Finnegan gave up a two-run shot to center by Rafael Devers that was the difference in a 7-5 win for the Red Sox.
