Jo Adell and Chris Taylor help lift Angels to comeback victory over Mariners
Jo Adell homered twice, Chris Taylor also went deep and the Angels rallied from four runs down and beat the Seattle Mariners 8-6 on Saturday night. Cal Raleigh homered twice — giving him a major league-leading 26 — and drove in four runs for the Mariners, who have lost five straight and 12 of their last 17 games. Angels closer Kenley Jansen, who gave up Raleigh's solo homer in the ninth, finished up for his 14th save. Taylor replaced injured right fielder Jorge Soler (groin tightness) to start the second and led off with a homer off Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo (4-4). Two outs later, Adell hit a 431-foot solo shot to left-center to trim Seattle's lead to 4-2. The Angels took advantage of two Mariners errors to score twice in the third to tie the score 4-4, and Adell's 445-foot homer to center put them ahead 5-4 in the fourth. Doubles by Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward pushed the lead to 6-4 in the fifth, and Zach Neto's RBI single made it 7-5 in the sixth. Adell added an RBI single in the seventh for a three-run lead as the Angels scored in six consecutive innings for the first time since 2011. Seattle center fielder Julio Rodriguez, who singled in his first two at-bats, was knocked out of the game in the third after Randy Arozarena's hard grounder hit him above the right ankle while Rodriguez was trying to steal third base. Cole Young doubled and scored in the second and hit an RBI single in the sixth for the Mariners. Key moment: Connor Brogdon (1-0) replaced Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz with runners on first and third and one out in the fourth. He struck out J.P. Crawford, walked Jorge Polanco and got Leody Taveras to fly out with the bases loaded to preserve a 4-4 tie. Key stat: Adell is 13 for 32 (.406) with five homers, two doubles and nine RBIs in his last 10 games, raising his season average from .184 to .224. Up next: Mariners RHP George Kirby (0-3, 8.56 ERA) will start Sunday's series finale against Angels LHP Tyler Anderson (2-2, 3.86). A pair of MRI tests revealed no structural damage to Robert Stephenson's surgically repaired right elbow, but the Angels reliever was diagnosed with a stretched biceps nerve that will sideline him indefinitely. 'The good news is there's no major injury or anything. It's just a matter of how long it's going to take,' Stephenson said Saturday night before a game against the Seattle Mariners. 'It could be something that disappears overnight. It could be something that takes a couple weeks or longer. They're kind of tricky.' The 32-year-old Stephenson was expected to be one of the team's top relievers after signing a three-year, $33-million deal in January of 2024, but he missed all of last season after undergoing an ulnar collateral ligament repair with an internal brace in May of 2024.

Arrest made after woman found shot dead in Midtown
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man accused of shooting a woman to death in Midtown last month is now in Memphis Police custody. Officers say on March 20, around 7:50 a.m., they were called to a suspicious person call on 1021 Melrose Street. When they arrived, a woman was found unresponsive on the ground with a gunshot wound to her stomach and lower left hip. She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Police have identified her as Jah'Zaria Lewis. ORIGINAL STORY: Woman found dead in Midtown, homicide suspected During the investigation, police say Traileon Adell was developed as the gunman responsible for the murder. Police say a witness told them that Adell and the woman were dating. The witness also told police that Adell drives a black Kia, which was developed as the vehicle the victim was driven tothe murder scene in and later recovered by police. On April 25, investigators say they went to the DeSoto County Jail to interview Adell, where he initially denied all involvement. However, investigators say that when Adell was confronted with evidence, he confessed. Sources say argument over car led to weekend shooting spree Adell says he went to pick the victim up from her home in the black Kia. While driving to his aunt's house, Adell says he drove through a fence. That is when he claims the victim got mad and started to curse at him. According to Adell, he pushed the victim out of the car, but she continued to yell and curse at him. He says he then shot an assault rifle in the air several times before leaving the scene. Traileon Adell, 21, is charged with second-degree murder. Adell was committed to jail on Monday and is being held on a $300,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday morning.

Mail Day: Trader Joe's insanity and beef with Bowman
Wooden display featuring Trader Joe's logo, Lafayette, California, March 12, 2025. (Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images) (Smith Collection/Gado via Getty Images) This is a bit of departure from our usual brand of weirdness, but I strolled into a Trader Joe's this past week and, out of the corner of my eye, sensed something. I live my life by some simple rules. Among the many: if an item is almost gone at a store and other items are still fully stocked around it, grab two of them without hesitation, whatever they are. Other people know something you do not. Advertisement Trader Joe's released 'pastel mini totes' last Tuesday . They are tiny canvas bags that serve zero purpose in real life. And yet people lined up outside the morning of the release. My local store sold 1250 in two hours, according to the woman who was managing the waves of people grabbing and tucking away the bags. I am bound by my life rules, so when I saw tens of frenzied people at the totes display, I grabbed two. When I got home I googled them and there were already those lazy stories about totes selling for $1000 (because, of course, one person listed it for an absurd amount and that's all it takes for the headline). In truth, it's worth more like $13 . Still, this had all the signs of a classic Pokemon-style collector brouhaha — 5am lines, people climbing over one another, a woman in a vest shouting 'limit of four!,' and, of course, a wide selection of cheeses. Advertisement I now own two pastel mini-totes and they barely hold two cans of soup each. Do I sometimes question my life decisions? Yes. But for $6, it's a relatively minor expense to share with the Mail Day audience. Jo Adell just turned 26. He has 25/35 upside but is seemingly destined to pair that with an ugly .200-ish average. I believe he's way better than that, and it's why I keep buying his Bowman 1sts with PSA 10 grades at stunning discounts. I'm not the type to get too excited over exit velocity, but Adell has it in bunches . His 'hard hit %' this season is among the top 5% in baseball. And since 2020, he's been one of the fastest players on the base paths in all of baseball. Advertisement Adell's two-homer inning last week (just days after mini pastel totes were released…coincidence?) made some headlines — and he could garner some buzz with a few more good performances. Adell doesn't 'quietly' do things – he's an exceptional athlete with elite range, arm strength, bat speed, and stolen base potential who can make viral plays on defense and hit monster home runs at the plate. Plus, Adell plays in a large market alongside one of the game's best in Mike Trout — there could still be hope here! Remember, Adell was the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball a few years ago and hit .286 over 411 games in his minor league career. Stay tuned for what could be a value-boosting season… and get in on it before it's too late. Update : Topps Celebration boxes are down to about $65 . Perhaps by May we'll hit that $50 target mark and pounce on a couple. I love Bowman U. LOVE it. But I have a minor beef. Bowman U's existence has kind of ruined the fun of SI for Kids cards. (Yes, I know we just ranked the best SIFK cards last week here and here ). Advertisement And yes, as an adult, this is insane — they're nine mostly off-center perforated cards on thin stock featured in a magazine that literally says 'for kids' on it. And yet… Seeing Ashton Jeanty's card in one of the latest issues would normally have been a goldmine — the buzziest player in college football this season, his SIFK card would have been worth hundreds of dollars in PSA 7+ condition. Stores would have sold out, people would ask traveling relatives to check airport newsstands for it. Instead, Jeanty already had several Bowman U ( and Leaf! ) cards, with variations abound… and the SIFK card can be had for $5. Advertisement Am I a weirdo adult for bemoaning the fact that magazine insert cards made specifically for children have now been returned, by market forces and the magic of capitalism, back to being fun cards for kids? I just miss the joy of finding random gems inside a magazine, and trying to be one step ahead of everyone else hunting the same physical thing in the real world. The constant checking of stores and telling other people to look for the issue (especially during the Wembanyama card frenzy) was FUN. It was a challenge. And when they were inevitably sold out, it was kind of neat to think, 'there is more than one J.R. Fickle out there.' And Bowman U, despite all its wonderfulness, took that from us. Melancholy, I know. Moving on to something more uplifting! With Val Kilmer passing away (sorry, bad transition), I want to shout out Todd Spence, an artist I somehow found one day on Twitter who made one of the coolest pieces I have hanging up in my office. I don't know if this is still available, but when I order from him I just hit him up on twitter and he replies. Worth the $25-30! Fine… one more 'kids' thing before we go.

Last Night in Baseball: Jo Adell blasts two homers in one inning
There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves. That's why we're here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days' games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Los Angeles Angels battered the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday while also batting around, taking the series finale 11-1. The Angels had three different players hit two homers a piece – leadoff hitter Taylor Ward, DH Mike Trout, and, for the most impressive part, center fielder Jo Adell. Why were Adell's two blasts more noteworthy than those of his teammates? Well, Adell hit both of his in the same inning. Adell kicked off the scoring in the fifth inning with a solo shot, which would eventually be followed by a dinger from Ward to plate two more runs. Trout would add one of his two shots to put another two on the board in the inning, and then Adell would smash a three-run homer. Not the Rays' best fifth frame in history, no. The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays had themselves a pretty good pitchers' duel going for a while there, with Sox' starter Walker Buehler going 6.1 innings while allowing a single run, and the Jays' Chris Bassit going 5.2 with one run allowed. The game went to extras, tied 2-2, before Toronto scored a run in the top half of the frame. The Red Sox were given a chance to respond in the bottom half of the 10th, and respond they did. Jarren Duran got things going with a run-scoring single to tie it up at three apiece, then shortstop Trevor Story wrapped things up with one of the meeker walk-offs you'll see, but hey, it counts just the same: a soft groundball out, at a time when that kind of contact was all that was needed to get the dub. You had to wait for the Red Sox to walk it off due to the game going to extras. The Atlanta Braves went to extra innings, too, but were also held up for a different reason: the weather. A rain delay interrupted the proceedings for a bit, but eventually, the Braves and Philadelphia Phillies resumed play. Atlanta was seeking to avoid losing their 10th game of the early season, and against a key division rival no less. Thanks to Marcell Ozuna going yard in the 11th, that's just what they did: The Braves snapped their own 2-2 tie, and in a way the Phillies couldn't come back from. Atlanta moves to 3-9 on the season, which isn't ideal, but it beats 2-10. Unlike the Braves, the Chicago White Sox could not escape dropping their 10th game of the 2025 season. They lost 6-1 to the Cleveland Guardians, in a game dominated by Steven Kwan, who had four hits – one fewer than Chicago managed – and four RBIs on his own. The afternoon hit barrage pushed Kwan's line for the season to .356/.420/.511. It's early yet for the White Sox, of course, but considering how many injuries they've already suffered – both in-season and before it even began – and that they have the same record on the morning of April 11 that they did a year ago, in a season in which they set the modern loss record? "Early" only means so much in this scenario. The Kansas City Royals traded for Jonathan India this offseason and made him their leadoff hitter, and he's already making an impact. In a game where the Royals were down 2-1 against the Minnesota Twins in the bottom of the seventh inning, India battled through a 10-pitch at-bat before finally knocking in a run with a single. Bobby Witt Jr. would end up sending another run across, and the Royals would win 3-2. Now, India's moment lacks the drama that comes from a singular moment like Ozuna's walk-off shot, but it makes up for that with the kind of tension that makes baseball so exhilarating. It's the wait in between the events sometimes that gets the sport's hooks into you, and watching India fight off consecutive fastballs, waiting and waiting for the pitch he wants so that he can drill it and knock in a run just like he did? That's baseball. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox? Create or log in to your FOX Sports account, follow leagues, teams and players to receive a personalized newsletter daily!
