Washington Nationals’ catcher Riley Adams, in just his third start in 11 games this season, and his seventh plate appearance of 2022, after he went 0 for 6 in the first two games, singled to left on a 1-1 curve from Pittsburgh Pirates’ lefty Josè Quintana to drive in a run and make it a 1-0 game early in what ended up a 5-3 loss in the series finale in PNC Park.
Victor Robles, who stepped to the plate 0 for 18 early this season, fouled a pitch off, then spit on three straight changeups out of the zone from Quintana before lining a sinker over the middle through the left side of the infield for a two-run single and a 3-0 lead.
