Alcides Escobar Hit an Inside-the-Park Home Run, Was Helped by Yoenis Cespedes' Poor Defense
By Kyle Koster
Alcides Escobar swung at Matt Harvey’s first pitch and skied a ball to deep left-center field. Yoenis Cespedes went after it rather tentatively and played it into an inside-the-park home run. The ball certainly looked like it should have been caught.
It was the 12th inside-the-park home run in World Series history and the first since 1929. Good ol’ Mule Haas hit that one.
