ALL RILED UP: C RILEY ADAMS accounted for two hits, including a double in the top of the second that led to a score in the same inning, and a run in Saturday night's victory at Truist Park...the veteran has now tallied a hit in all but four games of June, and is T-6th among all International League hitters against left-handed pitchers (min. 15 AB) in OBP (.550), and is T-10th in batting average (.400), with teammate PHILLIP GLASSER ...

Adams comes into tonight's 5:05 p.m. battle holding the second-highest OBP (.533) and SLG (.600) and third-highest OPS (1.133) among all Red Wings on Sundays.
