Coughs up five runs Adon (2-3) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks over five-plus innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Nationals.

Fans six in five frames Adon allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.

Impact Adon yielded a run in the first inning but didn't let the Mets score again until the fifth. He departed with a 2-0 deficit, though he was taken off the hook when the Nationals scored three times late in the contest. Adon threw just 45 of 80 pitches for strikes and walked a season-high three batters, but he also recorded 12 swinging strikes and notched his second-highest total of the campaign with six punchouts. The right-hander has been up-and-down since getting his second call-up of the season Aug. 5, and overall he has an uninspiring 5.56 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 34 innings.

Surrenders five runs in loss Adon (2-1) took the loss against Miami on Thursday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three batters over five innings.

Impact Adon struggled from the start, giving up a hit to each of the first two batters he faced in the contest. The right-hander didn't post any clean innings but hung in until the fifth, when a Jazz Chisholm three-run blast put the Marlins ahead 5-0. That was more than enough to tag Adon with his first loss of the year in a game during which Washington managed just one run. The Dominican hurler looks to be set for a rotation spot over the final month of the campaign, but his 5.90 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 29 innings on the season don't portend fantasy relevance in most formats.

The biggest number of the night for Adon was probably the zero free passes, as the 25-year-old has struggled plenty with control in his career. This was Adon's six appearance and fourth start for the Nationals this season and he's expected to remain in their rotation the rest of the way. Outings like the one he put up Friday in Miami figure to be atypical.
