"For the first time in my career, I got a little emotional," Adames said. "It's something that I've dreamed about since I was a kid. Just doing incredible things like that."
It was also the 13th three-run homer of the season for Adames, who joined Ken Griffey Jr. (1996) as the only players in major league history to do so. Sammy Sosa, Tino Martinez and Hall of Famer Roy Campanella each had 12 three-run homers in a single season.
"It's an honor, just to be right next to a legend and an icon like him," Adames said. "Seeing that reality today is just incredible."
Adames grounded out, flied out and then struck out in his next three at-bats during Monday's game.
