The Atlanta Braves were looking to secure a win against their National League East rivals, the New York Mets. However, an unusual play changed the course of the game. Braves outfielder Mike Yastrzemski fielded a ball hit by Mets batter A.J. Ewing and attempted to throw it back into the infield. Unfortunately, Yastrzemski’s throw caromed off the pole holding the netting around the third base line, allowing another run to score.
