Crow-Armstrong was involved in an unfortunate sequence for the Cubs in the sixth inning of their matchup Thursday night against the visiting Athltics at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.
Apparently, the 28-year-old Crow-Armstrong lost what was supposed to be an easy flyout from Athletics designated hitter Shea Langeliers in the lights, leading to a two-run inside-the-park home run.
The former Gold Glove winner simply couldn't detect where the ball was, which landed several feet away from him. While the ball was in the air, Langeliers made a dash for home plate, as he was given the green light to go for it by the Athletics ' third base coach.
Here is a video of that wild play :
That home run extended the Athletics' lead to 4-0.
