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.

May has been Jones’ month. In 10 games this month, Adam Jones is hitting .436 with two runs, 7 RBI and .564 slugging percentage. Jones has improved his batting average to .286 on the season after hitting .218 in April.
Love the guy. Anybody left still questioning the man’s talent? Follow him on Twitter and kinda get to know him. He seems like a good kid.
