Jo Adell turned a routine Saturday night in Anaheim into a personal highlight reel for the ages. In a game where runs were nonexistent and every swing carried weight, the Angels’ right fielder quite literally stole the show—and the baseballs. Adell robbed three different Mariners of home runs—Cal Raleigh in the 1st inning, Josh Naylor in the 8th, and J. P. Crawford in the 9th—each play more improbable than the last. The final robbery sent him tumbling into the right-field crowd, glove raised triumphantly as he somehow held on. In a 1–0 game defined by inches, Adell didn’t just save runs—he erased them entirely.
