The Boston Red Sox had a massive blunder in the field during Sunday afternoon's game, which resulted in Tampa Bay Rays' infielder Yandy Diaz scoring a Little League home run.
performed the perfect hit-and-run in the top of the sixth inning as Manuel Margot took off on a 1-2 pitch and Diaz smacked a ball through the second-base hole that opened up when Boston's Enmanuel Valdez broke to the bag on the steal.
That’s when catcher Connor Wong stepped up to try to throw out Diaz, who was running to second base on the throw by Valdez. But the throw was brutal as the off-balance attempt wasn’t close to the bag, and it rolled into center field.Another problem: Center fielder Jarren Duran wasn’t even in center field at the time after running for Diaz’s initial hit, which Verdugo cut off before he reached it.
As Duran chased the ball that continued to roll toward the fence, Diaz waltzed his way around the bases to score his Little League home run. And as you’d expect at Fenway Park, the Red Sox faithful were not happy.
