TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jo Adell’s home run drought ended all at once Thursday as he hit two of the Los Angeles Angels’ four homers in an eight-run fifth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Adell hit Zack Littell’s first-pitch slider 408 feet out to center leading off the inning and ended it with a three-run shot to left off Mason Englert.
In between, Taylor Ward hit his second homer of the game and Mike Trout hit the first of his two in the game as the Angels finished the fifth with a 10-1 lead. Four homers in an inning matched the franchise record. They won 11-1.
Adell, who hit a career-high 20 homers last season, came into Thursday batting .185 with no homers.
Adell became the third Angels player in franchise history to homer twice in an inning. Rick Reichardt did it in a 12-run inning at Boston in 1966, and Kendrys Morales did it in a nine-run sixth at Texas in 2012.
Oakland’s Brent Rooker was the only player in the majors to homer twice in an inning last season.
