Overview

• Denzel Clarke scaled the left-center wall at Angel Stadium and reached over to rob Nolan Schanuel of a Statcast-projected 398-foot home run in the first inning.
• The catch has been widely praised as one of the season’s best and follows previous home-run robberies against Toronto’s Alejandro Kirk and Baltimore’s Jorge Mateo.
• Since his May 23 call-up from Triple-A, the 25-year-old rookie has produced defensive highlights in three of his first 16 major league games.
• Despite Clarke’s grab, the Angels won 7-4 behind 7⅓ scoreless innings from Yusei Kikuchi and a fourth-inning home run by Jo Adell.
• Nolan Schanuel later delivered an RBI single in Anaheim’s three-run third inning to partially avenge the robbed homer.
