Guardians’ Cooper Ingle error costs team the win vs Rangers

Cleveland Guardians left fielder Cooper Ingle suffered some brain fog on Tuesday night against the Texas Rangers and pieced together a moment he will want to brush off and move on from.

The Guardians and Rangers were tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh. The Rangers had a runner on second with one out – the key phrase, “one out.” Texas batter Alejandro Osuna popped one to left field where Ingle made a routine catch for the second out of the inning.

Ingle seemed to have thought it was the third out and the inning was over. He took the ball and threw it into the stands at Progressive Field. The lapse of judgment allowed Rangers runner Ezequiel Duran to run home and give the Rangers the go-ahead run.

Texas won the game, 4-2. Ingle was 0-for-4 at the plate with three strikeouts.

He took responsibility for the error and vowed that it wouldn’t happen again.
