On a night where Pittsburgh faced DC on two fronts, the Washington Nationals led by example for their hockey counterparts. They hit four home runs, two from Matt Adams who showed exactly why he was promoted to third in the order.
Adams who has started five of the last seven games continues to heat up at the plate. He’s 9 for his last 17 with 3 three HRs, so he’s likely to keep seeing regular time in left field.
Another backup impressing of late is Wilmer Difo. A 2 for 2 performance with two walks, the fill-in third-baseman is heating up at the plate too.
