Joan Adon made two appearances out of the bullpen for Washington’s Nationals in July, but returned to the majors as a starter for ten outings beginning with a six-inning start on August 5th in which he was perfect for five before he tired in the top of the sixth and gave up three hits and eventually three earned runs.
“The last time he was out there - I know he was in the bullpen - but he threw the ball a lot better,” Nats’ manager Davey Martinez said after Adon’s first start of the year in the majors.
