Nothing gets by Jo Adell.

The Los Angeles Angels outfielder had a defensive night for the ages, saving the Halos' 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners by stealing three home runs.

Adell's first robbery came in the first inning, when he made a leaping grab to steal what would have been Cal Raleigh's first homer of the season.

In the top of the eighth, Adell made a similar catch in nearly the exact same spot to take a round-tripper away from Josh Naylor.

But Adell saved his best for last. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford ripped a long fly ball towards the foul pole leading off the ninth, only for Adell to fly over the wall and hang on for the catch while falling into the stands. Seattle challenged the ruling, but replay upheld the out call.

Jordan Romano then retired the next two batters to secure L.A.'s 1-0 win.

Raleigh couldn't believe the night Adell had and offered his respect to the Angels outfielder following Saturday's game.

"You just tip the cap," the Mariners catcher said, according to MLB.com's Daniel Kramer.

"I don't think I've ever seen a guy rob two homers in a game, much less three. So it's just one of those things where baseball can amaze you night in and and night out. You can see something you've never seen before."
