Summary
In a Rockies vs. Angels game, Angels outfielder Jo Adell made a bizarre fielding error when a line drive bounced off his glove, then his forehead, and over the fence for a home run. The play drew comparisons to Jose Canseco's infamous 1993 head-bounce home run. The Rockies won 8-2 in one of their most complete games of the season.
