Willy Adames finished with one hit and one walk before leaving with an injury.
Susan Slusser of San Francisco Chronicle wrote (on August 12): “Adames’ back issues have returned. He’s been doing lots of pregame work and was a little sick last week – left the game with a reoccurrence of back problem but fought to stay in. Might be time for an IL stint.”
