Over the past two games, several things have gone wrong for the Los Angeles Dodgers which has resulted in back-to-back losses.
But, there is one play that stands out above the rest.
When San Diego third baseman Manny Machado kicked off the bottom of the second inning with a single on Tuesday, the Dodgers briefly fell apart.
Jackson Merrill followed with a grounder to Freddie Freeman at first, but Freeman’s throw hit Machado on the shoulder and rolled into left field. Machado made it to third, putting runners on the corners for San Diego.
He was deliberately on the edge of the grass when the ball hit him and, depending on the angle, he was completely in it.
