Raleigh thought he had his first homer of the season when he lifted a deep fly ball to right field off Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz. The ball came off his bat 105 mph and seemed to be carrying over the 8-foot wall in right field. But Adell was tracking it off the bat, got to the wall and timed his leap perfectly, snaring the supposed solo homer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought there was a chance,\u201d Raleigh said. \u201cBut you never know.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the eighth inning, Naylor hit a deep drive to right field that looked to be out. Adell had the same buildup as he did for Raleigh\u2019s shot and made almost the same catch.<\/p>\n
Adell erased three runs in a game where his team scored one.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, you look at the three balls that he caught,\u201d Raleigh said. \u201cBut at the same time, we\u2019ve gotta do a better job at the little things, getting guys over, executing with runners in scoring position. That\u2019s what kind of hurt us tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, the Mariners finished the game 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine runners on base.<\/p>\n
The Mariners wasted another outstanding start from Emerson Hancock. The right-hander tossed 6 2\/3 innings allowing one run on six hits with no walks and five strikeouts.<\/p>\n
The one run allowed came immediately in what was hectic first inning for Hancock. The fourth pitch of his outing \u2014 a 96-mph fastball on 2-1 count \u2014 was turned into a leadoff homer by Zach Neto.<\/p>\n
It looked like the Angels might tack on more when Nolan Schanuel doubled to left-center and Jorge Soler sneaked a single through the right side to put runners on the corners with one out. But Hancock came back to strike out Yoan Moncada for the second out of the inning.<\/p>\n
The third out, well, that was a little unusual. Facing the right-handed hitting Adell, Hancock uncorked a wayward sweeper into the other batter\u2019s box. Raleigh couldn\u2019t glove it. The ball ricocheted off the backstop and started rolling back as a hustling Raleigh slid on his knees to grab it, spun and fired back toward home plate as he fell toward the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raleigh thought he had his first homer of the season when he lifted a deep fly ball to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":664369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[291,5,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,33675,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-664368","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-angels","8":"tag-angels","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-la-angels","12":"tag-laangels","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-angels","15":"tag-losangeles","16":"tag-losangelesangels","17":"tag-mariners-baseball","18":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116351505811200275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
