The Braves' Adam Duvall was called out on a home run after umpire's weird blunder

Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has quietly been having one of the best offensive seasons in baseball. He leads the National League with 109 RBI. He’s second with 37 home runs. And he’s one of the main reasons that the Braves have been able to stay in first place despite a season-ending injury to Ronald Acuña Jr.

But he absolutely deserved to finish Wednesday’s game with an extra home run and RBI to his name. He has umpires Sam Holbrook and Mike Muchlinski to blame for that.

In the first inning at Chase Field, Duvall drove a fly ball to deep center field that cleared the fence after bouncing off Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy’s glove.
