Garrett Mitchell crediting his wife’s absence for walk-off HR led to some funny tweets

Garrett Mitchell had a message for his wife in his postgame interview after crushing a walkoff home run against the New York Mets on Wednesday.

“I was thinking about this, but: When my wife doesn’t show up to the games,” he said to Sophia Minnaert, “usually something good happens. Going into that at-bat, I was like, ‘Man, well, she’s not here, so might as well do something fun.'”
