Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna encountered a bit of bad luck Sunday night — and it cost him.
When Ozuna launched what ended up being a 415-foot shot to center field off Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen, he stood at the plate for seven seconds and watched what he thought would be the tie-breaking run in the top of the fourth inning. Instead, the ball bounced off the bottom of the home run porch just to the right of center field and landed back in play.
The delayed reaction forced Ozuna to settle for a single and Braves manager Brian Snitker pulled Ozuna from the game two innings later.
