The Red Sox beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, 7–1, on Tuesday night, but all anyone will likely remember from that game at Fenway Park was an embarrassing moment for the home team that led to the first triple play of MLB’s season.
With nobody out in the bottom of the third and runners at first and second, Boston’s Triston Casas hit a routine liner to center that Michael Harris II easily caught. He then threw out Adam Duvall at first, and then Masataka Yoshida got thrown out while trying to get to third.
None of this made any sense for Boston:
The Braves turn the TRIPLE PLAY ‼️

That was some Little League stuff right there by the Red Sox.
MLB fans roasted them:
