In a thrilling game at Wrigley Field, the Dodgers faced off against the Cubs, leading to a combined score of 21 runs. Tommy Edman, familiar with the park, was disappointed when a home run by Miguel Amaya in the ninth inning was aided by the field's unique basket design, which he argued prevented a potential game-ending catch. Tanner Scott, who blew the save, acknowledged his poor pitch placement additionally contributed to the homer, reflecting the challenges of playing at such a historic ballpark.
"The basket's kind of annoying. If the basket isn't there, it's not a homer," said Edman, giving chase from center field. "Just kind of a weird quirk of the ballpark. I thought I had a fairly good bead on it. Unfortunately it barely made it out."
"Missed the location. That's all it was. I missed the location," Scott said. "Middle-middle is not very good in the big leagues. I thought he got a good piece of it. It went in the basket. Nothing I can do about it. I need to make a better pitch."
