Angels’ Jo Adell showing improved plate discipline this season

ARLINGTON, Texas — Jo Adell hit his eighth homer — equaling his career high — and he threw out a runner at the plate on Saturday night.

But amid all that, the Angels outfielder was just as proud of another recent improvement in his game. He drew two walks.

It was only the second time in Adell’s career that he walked twice in a game, and the first time he’d done it in a game with another hit.

“Honestly, the homer is great, but that was a really important part of my game yesterday,” Adell said on Sunday.
