Overview
- Cole Young launched a three-run homer to right hours after Saturday’s defensive clinic, giving Seattle the payoff that had eluded it the night before.
- The previous game, Angels outfielder Jo Adell turned three would-be homers into outs to lock down a 1-0 win, and reliever Jordan Romano then retired the final two hitters.
- He foiled drives by Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor and J.P. Crawford, including a ninth-inning catch upheld on replay after he tumbled over the right-field wall.
- Before Sunday’s finale, a Mariners clubhouse whiteboard read “Don’t hit the ball to Joseph Adell,” a wry nod to avoiding his territory in right field.
- Both teams entered Sunday at 4-5, highlighting an early-season back-and-forth shaped by one standout night of defense and a quick offensive answer.
