SURPRISE, Ariz. —
The Angels tied the Kansas City Royals 4-4 at Surprise Stadium on Friday.
ADELL’S UP-AND-DOWN DAY: Even while playing his more natural center field position, Jo Adell’s defensive struggles continued.
With two runners aboard in the fourth inning, Adell appeared to lose a routine fly ball in the sun, whiffing on the catch near the warning track to allow a two-run, ground-rule double.
Adell bounced back at the plate, however, hammering an RBI double to center field in the seventh inning. After a slow start to the spring offensively, he is now five for 13 in his last nine games with three extra-base hits and six RBIs.
