The Los Angeles Angels<\/a> secured their first home win of the season on Saturday night with a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, thanks to an unprecedented defensive performance from Jo Adell.<\/p>\n

Adell stole three home runs<\/a> in a single game, a feat believed to be the first of its kind in MLB history. His first came in the opening inning against Cal Raleigh, who drove a 104.7 mph, 28-degree fly ball projected at 370 feet. The ball would have been a home run in 20 parks, but Adell leaped above the wall to keep it in play, helping Jack Kochanowicz get through a scoreless frame.<\/p>\n

In the eighth inning, Adell denied Josh Naylor on a 368-foot drive off a slider from Sam Bachman. The ball, hit at 98 mph, had home run distance in 10 parks and would have tied the game, but Adell’s timing kept the Angels’ one-run lead intact.<\/p>\n

The moment of glory came in the ninth against JP Crawford. Facing closer Jordan Romano, Crawford launched a 342-foot drive down the right-field line. Adell tracked it into the corner, made the catch, and flipped into the stands. A replay review confirmed the out, and Romano earned his third save of the season.<\/p>\n

Adell, a 2024 Gold Glove finalist, now has 10 career home run robberies since 2020, tied for the most in MLB over that period. His performance drew high praise from nine-time Gold Glove winner Torii Hunter, who called it the best defensive game he had ever seen.<\/p>\n

The game’s only run came from Zach Neto, who hit a 443-foot leadoff home run on the fourth pitch from Emerson Hancock. Kochanowicz (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out seven over 5\u2154 innings, escaping multiple jams, including a first-inning situation with runners on first and third.<\/p>\n

The Angels’ bullpen combined to maintain the shutout. Chase Silseth stranded two runners in the seventh, while Josh Lowe and Oswald Peraza came up with crucial defensive plays.<\/p>\n

The win evened the series at one game apiece, with the finale scheduled for Sunday.<\/p>\n
