Mitch Farris Wins MLB Debut as Adell’s 454-Foot Homer Powers Angels Past Royals 5-1

Mike Trout was scratched with a day-to-day skin infection, with Kansas City still chasing an AL wild-card spot.

Overview

  • Farris worked five innings in his first major-league start, allowing one run on three hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
  • Jo Adell went 3-for-4 and crushed a two-run, 454-foot homer in the sixth inning to turn a deficit into a lead.
  • Oswald Peraza doubled home a run in the seventh and later scored on a wild pitch to extend the lead.
  • Royals starter Michael Lorenzen gave up two runs on four hits over six innings with five strikeouts and one walk.
  • Bobby Witt Jr. tripled in the third and scored on Vinnie Pasquantino’s sacrifice fly, and the Royals were 2.5 games back of the final AL wild-card slot; Ryan Bergert was slated to start Wednesday as the Angels had not named a starter.
