Jones extended his hitting streak to 11 games and hit his fourth home run in his last five games in Saturday's win over the Nationals.
Spin: Jones is now a top five player in most fantasy leagues and this season is shaping up to be a career year. He should be able to threaten a 30/20 season, while anything around a .300 average is a bonus.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Adam Jones and Nick Markakis hit two-run homers and the Baltimore Orioles matched a season high with their fifth straight win, 6-5 over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones singled in the first inning on Saturday to extend his hitting streak to a season-high 11 games. He has three hitting streaks of at least 10 games this season. Jones went 3 for 4 on the day with two RBI. He also knocked out his 14th home run of the year in the third inning off starter Ross Detwiler. The Orioles would hold on for the 6-5 win.
Analysis: Jones' 14 homers leads the team O's and he also has 29 RBI to his credit. Last season, Jones hit his 14th home run in the team's 90th game. Jones is batting .310 on the year, and is well on his way to a career campaign. Last year he hit a career-high 25 homers and 83 RBI. Fantasy owners should have Jones active in all formats as he's a must-start outfielder option.
