Mariners' Cole Young gets vengeance on Angels' Jo Adell after home run robbing history originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For a moment, it felt like deja vu.
Seattle Mariners second baseman Cole Young turned on a pitch and drove it deep to right field. But just a night earlier, that was where fly balls against the Angels went to die, because that's where Jo Adell was.
Adell robbed not one, not two, but three home runs on Saturday night. It was a 1-0 Angels win over the Mariners, and so those three robberies were both absurd but also absolutely necessary.
This one looked like it might just be another chance for Adell to show off his thievery prowess at the outfield wall.
Instead, though, Seattle could breathe easy. Young had hit this one further.
It ended up being no chance for Adell, and a three-run homer for Young.
The Mariners' social media account had the right feelings about it:
MORE: Jo Adell robbed 3 home runs in the same game
This wasn't quite individual revenge for Young. He hadn't been robbed on Saturday.
Adell's robberies had denied Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor and J.P. Crawford.
Young, though, at least got a little bit of vengeance for his teammates. He also showed them that you simply have to hit the ball a little further to prevent Adell from getting it.
It was quite the swing for the young second baseman, and it had to feel good for all the Mariners to see the ball fly beyond Adell and entirely out of his reach.
