Olson rounded off the third base and went home after teammate Sean Murphy hit a fluff ball to Outfield. The other ball landed near the home plate almost immediately after Giant’s right Fielder Mike Yastrzemski’s throw entered Catcher Patrick Bailey’s Mitt.

Giants manager Bob Melvin approached the incident after the game.
“It’s a first one,” Melvin said. “I’ve never seen that before. I don’t know where it came from. I don’t know what the rule is. I think everyone was a little surprised by it. It didn’t affect the game, but it was extremely weird to see another baseball getting on the field.”
Braves dropped a sixth consecutive match on Saturday afternoon after Giants hit a two-run walk-off Homer in the ninth lap for a 3-2 win.
