Summary
Houston Astros player Cam Smith struck out on three pitches, but still managed to work a walk due to a throwing error by Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong. The count went to 0-2, but the error brought in a runner from third, making it 6-1, Astros. Smith then fouled off several pitches, saw several balls, and eventually took first base on what was actually ball three. The umpire, Mark Wegner, admitted his “mistake” and said he had never done that before.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Smith swung and missed on the first three pitches, but still managed to work a walk due to a bizarre sequence of events.
The count went haywire, and nobody on the field seemed to know what was happening.
Even the umpire was confused, admitting his mistake and saying he’d never done that before.
This is the kind of moment that makes fans shake their heads and wonder what’s going on.
This one felt recognizable early.
