Tuesday night’s game between the Red Sox and Braves got off to a fairly positive start for Boston after taking a 2–1 lead in the first inning. Then, the bottom of the third happened.
That frame also had an auspicious beginning after the first two batters of the inning—Masataka Yoshida and Adam Duvall—both reached base. Triston Casas drove a ball to shallow center field that looked like it could have fallen for a hit but instead was caught by Michael Harris II. Then, some of the worst base running in recent memory turned a routine fly out into an inning-ending triple play.
Behold the head-scratching sequence for yourself.
