Braves fans might not want to watch— it isn’t pretty.
During the Atlanta Braves series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, shortstop Ketel Marte hit a line drive to right field in the third inning which eluded right fielder Sean Rodriguez long enough for Marte to reach third base.
Rodriguez eventually got his hands on the ball and threw home, but it was too late. The two-run inside-the-park home run was already in the books.
The Braves went on to lose Wednesday’s game against the Diamondbacks 10-3.
Ketel Marte put the afterburners on!
