BOSTON — The Baltimore Orioles pulled off one of the strangest triples plays anyone had ever seen Tuesday night on a simple botched catch.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr hit a routine pop-up to short left field that he thought would be caught. Or maybe he figured the infield-fly rule was called.
Mitch Moreland froze at second base.
And Dustin Pedroia did likewise on first.
Only for the ball to drop between shortstop J.J. Hardy and left fielder Trey Mancini.
Hardy picked up the ball who threw to second baseman Jonathan Schoop.
