Ben Simmons Jersey Nationals outfielder Juan Soto learned the hard way Sunday that you should run out every ball you hit.In the team's6-5 win over the Orioles, Soto hit a two-out pop fly that he a sumed was going to go foul. However, the ball blew back into play and struck down in fair ground
George McGinnis Jersey right in front of the catcher. Soto could've been safe at first, but he hadn't been running on the play and instead was thrown out.The blunder ended the inning and cost the Nationals a run, as Andrew Stevenson would've scored from third base had Sotobeaten out the play. Brendan Donley (@_brendan_donley) In fairne s to Soto, it did look like the ball would drift foul, but he still should've been on the move just in case.

Isaiah Joe Jersey Washingtonmanager Dave Martinez.I already talked to him about it and told him it was embarra sing for the whole club,"Martinez said, per . He understands that. I made him apologize to the team. And I told him it doesnt happen again.Considering that Soto was visibly upset after the play, it's hard to imagine that he'll make another blunder of this sort.

Trey Burke Jersey , no foul variety.Literally.
