Matt Adams went 1 for 5 with a three-run home run in last night’s 7-5 win, leaving him with a .270/.306/.556 line, six doubles, and 10 home runs in 33 games and 134 plate appearances as a starter this season. His homer, off Miami Marlins’ left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, left him 8 for 29, with a .276/.300/.552 line, two doubles and two homers off of left-handed pitchers this season.
“He’s been doing really well,” manager Davey Martinez said of Adams’ success in limited at bats against lefties, “... and he got a ball up in the strike zone and he’s not missing the balls that he should be hitting against lefties, and that’s the key, but he’s been getting the ball up against them.
