Playing against his former team this week in Nationals Park, new Nats’ catcher Riley Adams went 5 for 7 with two doubles and a home run in a quick, two-game sweep for Washington, against the Toronto Blue Jays who dealt the catcher to D.C. in return for Brad Hand at the July 30th trade deadline.
Those two games were the second and third straight starts for the 25-year-old backstop, and in the three consecutive games he was 6 for 11, and 9 for 26 (.346/.433/.654) with a couple doubles and a couple home runs in 12 games and 30 plate appearances in which he’s walked twice and struck out eight times.
