Joan Adon held the Miami Marlins to a run on five hits in 4 2⁄3 innings pitched in a May 17th start, in which he threw 84 pitches and K’d just two in what ended up a 5-1 loss on the road in loanDepot park.
The outing was a nice bounce-back appearance for the 23-year-old, who had struggled with his mechanics in his previous start but sorted things out with the help of pitching coach Jim Hickey.
“Hickey cleaned a lot of that up with him during his bullpen session,” Nats’ manager Davey Martinez said after an 8-1 loss to the Fish.
