In the bottom of the eighth inning, with Braves trailing the 13–3, Atlanta put outfielder Dee Strange-Gordon on the mound, as the game was well out of hand.
Strange-Gordon didn’t have the sharpest pitching appearance, walking three hitters and allowing one home run. And, to top it off, he ended up hitting Travis d’Arnaud, giving the Braves a 15–3 lead.
When d’Arnaud was hit by the 52-mph pitch from Strange-Gordon, he decided to give an Oscar-worthy reaction.
The pitch hit d’Arnaud’s left arm, and he immediately fell to the ground and laid on his back as the announcers and crowd began laughing.
