Jo Adell's Misplay Gifts TJ Rumfield 8-0 Rockies Lead on Head-Bounced Home Run

Summary
TJ Rumfield's fourth-inning fly grazed Jo Adell's glove, hit his head and cleared the wall, turning into a solo homer that pushed Colorado ahead 8-0 in an eventual 8-2 win.
The ball briefly caused confusion after caroming off a digital scoreboard back into play, leaving Rumfield at second before he was waved around once the home-run ruling stood.
Grayson Rodriguez exited after 3 2/3 innings, charged with eight runs and three homers, while Adell compounded the rough night by going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
The play echoed Jose Canseco's 1993 head-deflected homer and sharply contrasted with Adell's April game-saving performance, when he robbed Seattle of three home runs in a 1-0 Angels victory.
