What happened

Jung Hoo Lee hit an inside-the-park home run down the left-field line in the top of the fifth inning, his third of the season. Eric Haase scored on the play, knotting the game at 2-2.

Why it matters

Inside-the-park home runs are among the rarest plays in baseball, requiring a mix of hitter speed, outfield misplay, and ballpark geometry. The swing erased a deficit and shifted momentum in a tied middle-innings contest.

What to watch

Watch whether Lee's club can build on the tied score in the later innings and whether the left-field defense gets revisited.
