Ball bounces off Jo Adell's head for a home run
In a moment reminiscent of Jose Canseco, a fly ball hit Jo Adell's head and went over the right-field fence, resulting in a Rockies home run.

Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell made headlines in April when he robbed three home runs in one game. On Tuesday night, he gave one back.
In a play he'd probably like to forget, Adell raced toward the right-field wall to track down a fly ball off TJ Rumfield 's bat in the fourth inning of Tuesday night's game against the Colorado Rockies .
Adell appeared to get under the ball for an easy out, but in a flashback to the infamous Jose Canseco play from May 1993, the ball nicked off his glove, then bounced off his head and over the fence for a home run.
The unfortunate play gave the Rockies a 8-0 lead. Adell shook it off and appeared to be OK, aside from being a little red in the face.
The play was eerily similar to Canseco's memorable outfield blunder, which happened when he was a member of the Texas Rangers and also occurred at the right-field wall. The Rangers lost that game 7-6 to Cleveland.
Adell was an unlikely candidate to bring back memories of Canseco's defensive gaffe. On April 5, he lit up social media when he made three homer-robbing catches , the last a spectacular leaping grab while crashing into the seats near the right-field foul pole in the ninth inning of a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners .
