The catch was upheld after replay review.
Key Moments
Adell's first home run robbery came on the second batter of the game.
In the eighth, Josh Naylor thought he'd tied the game before Adell made the catch.
In the ninth, J.P. Crawford looked like he had provided the run, only for Adell to flip the narrative.

Jack Kochanowicz allowed four hits and struck out seven.
