NBC News • • general
Key Points:
- Los Angeles Angels' Jo Adell misplayed a flyball that bounced off his head and resulted in a bizarre home run for Colorado Rockies' TJ Rumfield, contributing to an 8-2 loss for the Angels.
- The unusual play drew comparisons to José Canseco's infamous 1993 gaffe, where a ball also bounced off his head for a home run.
- Adell acknowledged the misplay, expressing disappointment but emphasizing the need to move forward, especially after a tough day both defensively and at the plate.
- This incident contrasts sharply with Adell's earlier standout defensive performance this season, where he robbed three potential home runs in a single game against the Seattle Mariners.
- Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez struggled in the game, giving up eight runs and three homers in under four innings, with the misplay marking the end of his outing.
