Jo Adell erupts for a career-high 6 RBIs, 455-foot homer as the Guardians crush the Giants 8-1
Jo Adell delivered a career-high performance for the Cleveland Guardians, batting in six RBIs and hitting a 455-foot, three-run homer in the first inning. The Giants' pitcher, Carson Whisenhunt, allowed just one run over six innings, allowing Adell to start his inning with a lead. This powerful blast broke Adell's personal record, surpassing his 454-foot home run in Kansas City earlier this year.
Cleveland's Foster Griffin added to the win column with his 14th win of the season, tying him with four big-league pitchers who have reached this milestone. Steven Kwan led off the game with a leadoff walk and Ramírez got a base hit before Adell's remarkable homer. The 455-foot blast extended Cleveland's lead to 5-1 in the second inning, with Adell driving in his teammates Kwan and Ramírez.
In the third inning, San Francisco managed to score a run with bases loaded, but Andrew Knizner came up and grounded into a double play. Whisenhunt pitched four innings before leaving the game due to concussion symptoms after being hit by a foul ball.
