A simple slow ground ball turned into a hilarious adventure for the Blue Jays on Friday night.
With Toronto leading the Rays, 4-2, and two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, Tampa Bay’s Harold Ramirez barely got a piece of a Jordan Hicks fastball. The ball softly went past the mound and toward the left side of the infield.
However, the Toronto fielders botched what should have been a routine groundout. To make matters worse Toronto’s Matt Chapman inexplicably allowed Rays center fielder Manuel Margot to crawl and then dive over his attempted tag at second base after overrunning the bag.
