Washington scored an inside-the-park grand slam thanks to a horrendous defensive blunder

Inside-the-park home runs are often aided by a defensive misstep or a bit of luck. Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto scored one on Tuesday thanks to an unusual bounce off the wall. Few inside-the-park home runs, however, are served up on a silver platter like Yoenis Cespedes did for Michael Taylor.

Not only did Cespedes’ blunder allow Taylor to round the bases, but it cleared the bases for the rare inside-the-park little league grand slam.

To his credit, Cespedes nearly made up for the error the following inning with a bases-clearing double that scored three runs. And the New York Mets went on to win the game so all is well.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to watch an inside-the-park grand slam from the stands, we now have the answer.
