ANAHEIM -- White Sox center fielder Luis Robert made an amusing, yet painful and ultimately costly gaffe in the third inning of Saturday’s game against the Angels, as he attempted to catch a shallow fly ball off the bat of Anthony Rendon, only for it to bounce off his head for a run-scoring error.
Fortunately, Robert was fine physically and even drove in a run the next inning with an RBI single to tie the game. But the play did end up costing the White Sox two runs in the frame, and came in an eventual 5-3 loss that saw the Angels score three times in the eighth. It was a memorable miscue for all the wrong reasons, as the ball bounced dramatically off his head and there were also two outs in the third, so a catch would’ve ended the threat.
