Rays' Willy Adames: Much improved in May

Adames, who went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Twins on Friday, hit .284 (25-for-88) with five doubles, three home runs, nine RBI, 10 walks, Friday's steal and 11 runs during May.

Adames finished April with an ugly .200/.265/.300 line, but he started to boost those numbers as soon as the calendar flipped. The young shortstop ultimately netted a 42-point increase in his average during May and also upped his on-base and slugging percentages considerably. With nine doubles, Adames has already exceeded the seven doubles he slugged in 35 additional games last season, and he also laced the first three-bagger of his career during the current campaign.
