CLEVELAND (AP) — Chase DeLauter had an eventful first four innings to his major league career.
DeLauter dropped the first fly ball hit to him but later made a great throw to retire a Detroit baserunner during the fourth inning of Wednesday’s Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series.
The rookie center fielder is the first Cleveland player to make his big league debut in a postseason game.
It wasn't a great start though.
DeLauter dropped a high fly hit to center by Detroit's Gleyber Torres during the first inning. He had a tough time initially tracking the ball on a sunny afternoon before moving a couple steps to his right. The ball popped out of his glove when he tried to haul it in near the middle of his body, 323 feet from home plate.
The error put runners on first and second with no outs
