Jo Adell robs Mariners of three homers in Angels' 1-0 win

EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jo Adell made three home run-robbing catches, including a spectacular leaping grab while crashing into the seats in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels held off the Seattle Mariners 1-0 on Saturday night.Adell leaped high above the yellow line on the wall to deny Cal Raleigh of a solo homer in the first and made a nearly identical catch to deny Josh Naylor of a solo homer in the eighth.Adell brought the fans to their feet in the ninth, when J.P. Crawford led off with a drive toward the right-field corner, where Adell leaped to catch the ball, flipped over the wall and fell into the first row of seats before holding up his glove to present the catch, which was upheld after a replay review."After the first one, the second one was kind of similar," Adell said. "I didn't know if I was having dj vu. Pretty crazy. Sometimes, you've got to help on the other side of the ball, and I'm glad I did my job tonight."According to ESPN Research, the only MLB player with more than three home run robberies during the entire 2025 season was Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres with four. Jordan Romano, the Angels' sixth pitcher, then retired Cole Young on an infield popup and struck out Leo Rivas for his third save."It's crazy," Adell said. "The fans in right field got me ready to go out there. They were electric all night. That's what I'm talking about."Jack Kochanowicz (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out seven over 5 innings, and Zach Neto provided the game's only run, walloping Seattle right-hander Emerson Hancock's fourth pitch for a 443-foot homer in the first. Angels reliever Chase Silseth escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the seventh.Silseth replaced Joey Lucchesi with two on in the seventh and struck out Rivas looking, Luke Raley swinging and got Raleigh to ground out to second.Kochanowicz also escaped a first-and-third, two-out jam in the first by striking out Randy Arozarena looking at an 88 mph slider and a two-on, two-out situation in the third by getting Arozarena to ground out.The Angels backed Kochanowicz with two other great defensive plays. Left fielder Josh Lowe made a diving catch to rob Dominic Canzone's flare in the fourth, and second baseman Oswald Peraza dove to stop Raley's fifth-inning grounder up the middle and threw him out at first.Hancock (1-1) allowed six hits over 6 innings and struck out five after throwing six no-hit innings in his March 29 start against Cleveland.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
