Red Sox Get A Run When Blue Jays Fail To Record A 4th Out The Toronto Blue Jays' recent game against the Boston Red Sox was a stark reminder of baseball's Byzantine rules and the players' apparent lack of understanding thereof.
In the top of the seventh inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 's catch and throw resulted in a force out at second base, leaving Seigler on third and Wong on first with one out.
However, due to Guerrero's trapping the ball, the throw to second was not a double play but rather a force out. This subtlety seemed lost on nearly everyone on the field, as they acted as if there were two outs.
