Adell responded moments later with a 431-foot solo home run to left-center, reducing the Mariners’ lead to 4-2.

In the third inning, the Angels capitalized on two errors committed by the Mariners, allowing them to tie the game at 4-4. Adell then notched his second home run of the night, this one a 445-foot shot to center field, giving Los Angeles a 5-4 lead in the fourth inning.
