Washington’s Matt Adams bringing power to Nationals: Big City, big addition to Nats’ lineup...

An 11 for 27 (.407/.448/.778) run over the last two weeks has taken Washington Nationals’ bench bat Matt Adams from a .185/.353/.481 line to .296/.397/.630 after a three-hit, two home run game against the Pittsburgh Pirates last night in the nation’s capital.

Adams, 29, signed a 1-year/$4M free agent deal with the Nats this winter, providing the defending, back-to-back, NL East champions with a power bat off the bench and a legit backup at first base, who can also play left field.
