The Toronto Blue Jays had a chance to either tie or win in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the World Series on Friday, but a lodged ball in the outfield thwarted their plans.
After Alejandro Kirk was hit by a pitch to start the bottom of the ninth, Myles Straw came in as a pinch runner for the Blue Jays’ catcher as Addison Barger stepped up to the plate. He hit a line drive off a 2-2 pitch that found the gap in left-center field, but the ball wound up being wedged under the outfield padding.
