Spot starter Joan Adon was perfect over five innings and retired the first 17 batters to lead the visiting Washington Nationals past the Cincinnati Reds 7-3 on Saturday.
Lane Thomas, with two homers Friday night, continued his assault on Cincinnati getting two hits and two RBIs in Saturday's victory. This was Washington's third straight win and tenth in its last 15 games.
The slumping Reds, who dropped their fifth straight, were sloppy all around. They committed four errors for the second time in four games and fell to 9-13 since the All-Star break. Cincinnati has been outscored in the five-game slide, 54-24. The right-hander entered with a lifetime 1-12 mark with a 6.72 ERA, including 15 starts. But Adon was unhittable and perfect through five innings, retiring all 15 batters with seven strikeouts on just 59 pitches.
