Key Points:
- Jo Adell misplayed a ball that hit off his head for a home run during the Los Angeles Angels' 8-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies, reminiscent of Jose Canseco's 1993 blunder.
- The error occurred in the fourth inning when Rockies' T.J. Rumfield hit a 364-foot solo home run after the ball bounced off Adell's glove and head.
- Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez gave up eight hits and eight runs, dropping to a 2-2 record, while Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano earned his fifth win with five innings pitched.
- The Angels, now on a three-game losing streak with the worst record in baseball (23-39), will face the Rockies again in the series finale at Angel Stadium.
- Adell struggled offensively as well, going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts, hitting .232 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs through 62 games this season.
