Rockies’ Adael Amador: Glove ‘slipped off’ when jumping to field line drive by Yankees’ Paul Goldschmidt

In the middle of a 10-run inning for the New York Yankees, a line drive went over the head of Colorado Rockies second baseman Adael Amador.

His glove went with it.

Amador’s glove didn’t come particularly close to touching Paul Goldschmidt’s run-scoring single to right-center field, but it was certainly a strange play during a calamitous inning for the Rockies. The Yankees went on to win 13-1.

After the game, Amador told The Denver Post he did not intentionally throw his glove at the ball.

“I didn’t have the glove tight on my hand,” Amador said via a translator.
