ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jo Adell made three home-run-robbing catches, including a ninth-inning leap into the seats, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Seattle Mariners 1-0 on Saturday night at Angels Stadium, while Zach Neto provided the game's only run with a first-inning 443-foot homer. The defensive sequence preserved Jack Kochanowicz's start (5 2/3 innings, four hits, seven strikeouts) and required replay review after the ninth-inning catch; relievers Chase Silseth and Jordan Romano escaped late jams and recorded the save, leaving the Mariners scoreless and the Angels with the victory that night.
