Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Just ask Jackie Bradley Jr.
In the seventh inning of the Boston Red Sox’s Game 3 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday, Bradley lifted a deep fly ball down the right-field line. Josh Reddick appeared to be in line to make a highlight-reel catch, but the ball bounced off the right fielder’s glove and into the stands, giving JBJ an absurd three-run homer.
It was a rough afternoon for Reddick at Fenway Park. In the second inning, he boomed a fly ball that was ticketed for the bleachers, only to have Mookie Betts rob him of the round-tripper.
