In an unexpected turn during a game at Coors Field, the Dodgers' Max Muncy hit a high pop-up under sudden rain, resulting in confusion for Colorado's infielders. Neither Rockies player caught the ball, allowing Muncy to reach first base safely and score two runs, contributing to the Dodgers' 8-1 victory. This incident, amid a season of struggles for the Rockies, accentuates the importance of winning games against weaker teams, as stressed by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
As Muncy pulled into first base, and teammates Shohei Ohtani and Dalton Rushing came trotting across the plate, Toglia looked toward Estrada, who initially appeared to be calling for the ball.
The play went down as a two-run single, representing the first runs in a game the Dodgers went on to win 8-1 - with the help of a victory-sealing grand slam from Muncy.
