Watch Athletics suffer bizarre loss after McCann misses home plate

ANAHEIM — Well, it’s not every day you see something like that.

The Athletics failed to score despite having runners crossing home plate, which was fitting given their recent play on the road.

In the top of the second inning of Wednesday’s game between the Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium, Kyle McCann rounded third base on a double by Max Schumann and stumbled, missing home.

The Athletics catcher ended up being suspended, not for the accident itself, but for what happened afterward.

After a lengthy replay review, it was determined that McCann made contact with new Athletics teammate Armando Alvarez. The baseball gods are really tough on Oakland.

Alvarez, making his first major league start on Tuesday, tried to help his Athletics teammates get to their feet as he chased McCann down the basepaths looking to score.

Unfortunately for Alvarez, despite natural human instincts and reflexes, making contact with McCann was a mistake that resulted in the final out of the inning.

The Athletics were primed for a big inning with their top of the lineup at bat, but lost handily to the Angels. To make matters worse, Los Angeles couldn’t even throw the ball home, an unfortunate embarrassment for Oakland.

The Athletics have lost four straight and are on a season-worst 10-game losing streak, but they’ll want to avoid this negative drama. Oakland has also lost four straight at Anaheim.

For now, the Athletics appear to be on track in the current series finale, but instead of fist-bumping and high-fiving in the dugout with Oakland leading 2-0, the two Athletics juniors appear to have earned prime position in the bloopers.

Surely these two rookies, McCann and Alvarez, won’t make the same mistake twice, right?
