Jo Adell hits three-run homer to lead Angels to 3-2 victory over Mariners

In a thrilling match on Sunday, the Los Angeles Angels secured a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners, thanks to Jo Adell's impressive three-run homer in the eighth inning. Carson Fulmer's stellar pitching performance, with four hitless innings and seven strikeouts, also played a crucial role in the Angels' win. Adell's 15th home run of the season off Austin Voth turned the tide in favor of the Angels, as they clinched the series after losing the first game in an 11-0 rout. The Mariners, who are currently leading the AL West, faced a setback as Ryne Stanek left the game due to injury after just one batter. J.P. Crawford managed to break the Angels' combined no-hitter with a solo home run in the sixth inning. Despite the loss, the Mariners remain ahead of the Houston Astros by just one game, setting the stage for an intense series after the All-Star break. Meanwhile, Angels' outfielder Mike Trout is on the path to recovery from a torn meniscus, targeting a return by the end of July. Trout, a three-time MVP, is optimistic about his progress and is focusing on regaining full fitness before his comeback. On the pitching front, RHP Luis Castillo is expected to start for the Mariners against the Astros, following his successful performances in the last two games. The victory for the Angels not only showcased their resilience against a strong division rival but also highlighted the potential impact of key players like Adell and Fulmer. With the series win, the Angels have closed the gap with the Mariners and set the stage for an exciting battle in the upcoming games. Stay tuned for more updates on the teams' performances and the return of star players like Trout as the season progresses.
