Smith pitched two innings, giving up one hit and two walks while striking out one.
Smith appealed the suspension, but it was upheld earlier this month. The left-hander was ejected for having a substance on his glove in a game in Phoenix against the Phillies on Aug. NL President Warren Giles later ruled Adcock should only be credited with a double and made it a 1-0 final.Ĭaleb Smith returned to the active roster for Arizona on Wednesday following his 10-game suspension. The umpires counted Adcock’s homer and said the final score was 2-0. Aaron, however, thought the ball was still in play - when he saw the runner ahead of him score, he trotted off the field. Slugger Joe Adcock then hit a drive over the fence for an apparent three-run homer.
With the score 0-0, an error put the Braves’ leadoff man on base, ending the perfecto, and Hank Aaron was intentionally walked with one out. The Diamondbacks (48-104) are tied with the Baltimore Orioles for the worst record in the majors.īaseball historians might point out that Duvall is not the only Braves hitter to ever lose a three-run homer because of a baserunning mistake.īack in 1959, Harvey Haddix of the Pirates took a perfect game into the 13th inning against the Milwaukee Braves at old County Stadium. Kelly lasted six innings, allowing seven hits and striking out seven. Freeman followed with a deep blast toward the pool in right-center. William Contreras singled with one out, went to third on Joc Pederson’s pinch-hit double and came home on Soler’s sacrifice fly. That ended a streak of 17 consecutive Arizona batters retired.įreeman’s homer came in the ninth, when Atlanta scored three times against Tyler Clippard. Walker greeted Atlanta reliever Chris Martin with a home run, his ninth, in the bottom of the eighth. But after Christian Walker’s leadoff single in the second, Anderson didn’t allow another baserunner in his seven innings. He gave up a run in the first inning when Kole Calhoun doubled in Ketel Marte, who had walked. Freeman doubled with two out in the fifth, and Albies homered to right, making it 6-1.Īnderson (8-5) didn’t need much support. Riley homered to deep left-center with two out and no one on in the third for his 31st of the season. The call was appealed, but upheld on replay review. He never has a bad day.”ĭuvall also singled off the wall in left in the eighth, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. “Comes to work, his attitude is off the charts. He also became the first second baseman age 24 or younger to hit 30 home runs and record 100 RBIs in a season.
Duvall has 15 with the Braves since being acquired from Miami in July. It’s not a bad rule at all.”Īlbies became the third player to reach 30 home runs for the Braves this season, joining Riley (31) and Freeman (31). “You may be making the right play, but if the guy in front of you doesn’t, you’ve got to be aware of it. “I wasn’t sure he didn’t catch it,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. Duvall was ruled out at second on what’s known as a “runner’s fielder’s choice.” Freeman and Riley scored on the play to give Duvall 109 RBIs this season, which leads the National League. But Riley, thinking McCarthy had the ball in his glove, retreated to first base as Duvall passed him between first and second. Albies hit a sacrifice fly to left and Riley beat out an infield hit with Freeman advancing to third.ĭuvall then hit what appeared to be his 38th homer of the season. Kelly (7-11) walked leadoff man Jorge Soler, and Freeman followed with a double.
