Left-hander Matt Moore gives up an eighth-inning homer to Ty France, putting the Mariners back on top after Adell had tied the score with the Angels’ first pinch-hit grand slam since 2012.
The Angels’ Jo Adell, right, celebrates with teammate Willie Calhoun after hitting a pinch-hit grand slam that tied the score during the seventh inning of their game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night in Seattle. SEATTLE — While Angels fans wait for the team to “learn how to win,” as Manager Ron Washington says frequently, they are getting plenty of experience in finding new ways to lose.
An inning earlier, Jo Adell emerged from his slump to come off the bench and hit a game-tying grand slam. Adell had another shot in the ninth inning, representing the go-ahead run, but he didn’t even get a chance to swing because Kevin Pillar was caught trying to steal second base to end the game. He was not in the lineup on Friday, though, because Washington decided he needed to “settle his mind down a little bit.” Adell had just one hit in his previous 32 at-bats with 15 strikeouts.
Adell’s homer marked the first time anyone in the majors had hit a game-tying, pinch-hit grand slam since 2019. The bad innings have usually been at the beginning or end of his outings, and this time it was a rough start. After that, Soriano still managed to stick around for five more innings, allowing just one more run. Soriano got a little help from center fielder Mickey Moniak, who robbed Luke Raley of a two-run homer in the fourth.
