A's outfield disaster leads to gift SF Giants homer in Sacramento

Thanks to the helping hand of A’s outfielder Tyler Soderstrom, San Francisco Giants outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald’s ball that looked to be a few feet short of the Sutter Health Park fence ended up going over.

Fitzgerald hit what you’d call a unique home run in the eighth inning of Sunday night’s 6-2 Giants win in front of thousands of their fans in West Sacramento thanks to a miscue from the A’s left fielder. Soderstrom tracked a fly ball deep to a step or two in front of the left field fence and leaped in front of the Golden 1 Credit Union sign to try to catch the ball.
