The New York Yankees didn't play the prettiest defensive game Tuesday night in Baltimore.
It didn't matter for the final result, as the Yanks picked up a four-run win anyway.
But they did have one of the odder defensive plays you'll see.
On one ground ball, the baseball was in the glove of the third baseman, then the second baseman, then the first baseman. Despite that, they got no one out.
The problem was that the first throw, from third baseman Ryan McMahon, was supposed to be to someone covering second base. But with no one there, it sailed wide to the conveniently awaiting Amed Rosario.
He then tried to throw to first base for the only out that could still be had, but it was too late.
Here's the play, which had a nice rhythm to it but no positive outcome:
