Atlanta Braves' Adam Duvall called out on home run because of baserunning error

It would have been Duvall's 38th home run on the year, but instead he was credited with a 2-RBI singe and called out.

PHOENIX — Today in weird baseball things that happen sometimes, Braves outfielder Adam Duvall was called out on a home run because of a baserunning error.

In Wednesday night's game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Duvall hit a towering fly ball to left center field that just cleared the fence as the D-backs outfielder leaped to try to catch it and fell to the ground.

However, after Duvall rounded first, teammate Austin Riley came running back from second base to first, where he started, because he thought the ball was caught by the outfielder.
