ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jack Kochanowicz (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out seven over 5 2\/3 innings, and Zach Neto provided the only run, walloping Seattle right-hander Emerson Hancock\u2019s fourth pitch for a 443-foot homer in the first. Angels reliever Chase Silseth escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the seventh.<\/p>\n

J.P. Crawford led off the ninth with a drive toward the right-field corner, where Adell leaped to glove the ball, flipped over the wall and fell into the first row of seats before holding his glove up to present the catch, which was upheld after a replay review.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
