ICYMI: Seattle Mariners infielder Dylan Moore gets fortunate bounce after Toronto Blue Jays outfielder botches catch
The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays faced off in the first game of a four-game weekend series in Seattle. The Mariners won rather easily by a score of 8-3 to take the first game.
During the game, Seattle Mariners infielder Dylan Moore got a fortunate bounce after the Blue Jays outfielder missed a fly ball. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had the ball in his glove, but it bounced out and over the wall. This has to be one of the luckiest home runs of all time.
