Dodgers get bizarre run vs. Mets off blown call when ball bounces off shin
Share and Follow

The umpires missed that one.

In the second inning of Saturday’s match involving the Mets and the Dodgers, it seemed like a ball struck Dalton Rushing, the catcher for Los Angeles, on the shin before bouncing back into the game.

After Rushing’s ball rolled just past home plate, Mets catcher Luis Torrens grabbed the ball and threw it to first to get the second out of the inning as Tommy Edman scored from third for the Dodgers’ second run.

Upon looking at the play, however, the ball clearly blasted into Rushing’s shin before going into play, which should have resulted in a foul ball.

It appears that even the Mets thought the ball was initially called dead, with both Torrens and pitcher David Peterson pausing as the ball was hit.

Since that type of play is not under the guidelines of potential eligible plays to review, the Mets could not challenge, which led to the Dodgers jumping out to an early 2-0 lead before the Mets responded with five unanswered runs in their eventual victory.

The Mets also had a run-in with the umpires over a confusing call during the third inning of Friday’s game.

They ultimately lost a challenge over an obscure rule regarding when a player is allowed to leave for the next base on a sacrifice fly.



Mets outfielders Tyrone Taylor and Juan Soto nearly collided when attempting to catch a fly ball in right center hit by Mookie Betts, and the ball grazed both of their gloves before Taylor wound up making the play with his bare hand.

Dodgers outfielder — and ex-Met — Michael Conforto left early when tagging up from second base, but he was ultimately ruled safe because the ball was first touched before being caught.

Commentators on Friday’s Apple TV broadcast were left puzzled by the play until former MLB umpire Brian Gorman came on and cleared up the rule.

“The reason behind the touch, as opposed to when he eventually catches the ball, is that an outfielder can actually juggle the ball all the way in and not threat the guy from advancing,” Gorman said. “As soon as the ball hits the glove, he can take off.”
