Shawn Kelley has given up six home runs and the Nationals bullpen has given up 21 home runs.

The Cardinals are off to their worst start in franchise history, with the worst record in the National League. Their defense has made 10 errors in 11 games, and continuing to play Matt Adams shows they are not committed to improving their defense any time soon. Adams is hitting .167, so using him in left field ahead of Grichuk or Jose Martinez makes little sense.
