Yesterday we took a look at Adam Jones’ successes in different spots throughout the Orioles lineup.  If you missed the article, I basically concluded that Jones has seen a lot of success in the two spot, but that if the Orioles can afford to keep him low, his numbers will shine.

In a different looking lineup against 2010 Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez, Adam Jones hit sixth behind Luke Scott and ahead of Matt Wieters.  Jones went 4 for 4, with a triple and 2 RBI.

His four hits were no fluke.  Adam Jones is hitting .700 in 10 at bats against his former team.  He has two doubles, a triple and five RBI against the Mariners this series.
