Angels’ Mike Trout, Jo Adell Question Umpire’s Crucial Replay Call in Loss to Orioles

The Los Angeles Angels surely have a sour taste in their mouth following Wednesday’s 6-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles that ended with Jo Adell being controversially called out on a stolen-base attempt.

“I was in there,” Adell said, per ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez. “That call goes our way, we have [Luis] Rengifo up with a runner on second and we’re ready to tie the game.

“… We’re all looking at the picture, we’re watching the video. Where my foot hit and where I got tagged were two totally different spots.”

 

Baltimore jumped out to a 6-0 lead and appeared to be cruising to a straightforward victory, but Mike Trout’s solo homer in the bottom of the sixth jumpstarted Los Angeles’ comeback attempt. It closed the gap to 6-5 with a run in the ninth inning when Adell attempted to steal second and get himself into scoring position.

He was called out on the field, and Major League Baseball’s headquarters in New York said the call “stands” upon replay review. The “stands” call was notable because it meant there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn the call on the field.

“I thought he was safe,” Trout said. “But obviously New York didn’t think so.”

The Angels fell to 10-15 overall and an ugly 1-6 in their last seven games thanks to their latest defeat. The questionable call made it all the more difficult to accept, and they will attempt to turn around their recent fortunes with a home series against the Minnesota Twins starting Friday.
