The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 in a dramatic fashion, with a game-ending double play.
Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that got stuck between the outfield fence and the turf, allowing him and Myles Straw to score, but they were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"
said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho.
The Blue Jays challenged the play, but the call was upheld, as a fair ball lodged in the outfield wall padding is considered a ground-rule double.
Addison Barger commented:
"I was being too aggressive"on the game-ending double play.
