Addison Barger's Fielding Error in Game 3 Attributed to Tricky Wind Conditions

AutoDraft Pro AI

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Addison Barger, who entered Game 3 as a pinch hitter in the third inning, committed an error in the fourth. While settling under Austin Wells' pop-up in short left field, the wind unexpectedly blew the ball toward the seats, causing it to hit off his glove and bounce into foul territory. This error allowed Wells to reach second base, and Barger commented that the wind was "kind of weird all night," contributing to the defensive lapse in the Blue Jays' loss.
