The Los Angeles Dodgers had a Cody Bellinger home run taken away due to a miscue on the basepaths, and on Tuesday benefitted from a blunder by rookie Ke’Bryan Hayes in the series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Hayes appeared to hit what was a solo home run off Walker Buehler with one out in the first inning as his slicing fly ball carried over the high wall in right field at PNC Park. Hayes’ fly ball not only just cleared the fence but hit off the base of the foul pole.
He initially broke out of the box like it would remain in play before breaking into a home run trot.
