Tyler O’Neill finds a unique way to win

It was the bottom of the ninth in Tuesday game with the score tied at 4. The Rockies’ newly acquired pitcher Dinelson Lamet was on the mound. The inning started out with walks to Andrew Knizer and Lars Nootbaar.

Dylan Carlson then singled on a bunt grounder to the pitcher, moving Knizner to third base and Nootbaar to second. With the bases loaded, O’Neill came to bat.

Yes, Lamet hit O’Neill on the elbow pad to score Knizner on the jaw-dropping walk-off hit by pitch.
