Three innings into the 2021 MLB regular season, Los Angeles ran itself out of a run when Justin Turner, unaware that his teammate Cody Bellinger had hit a home run, caused Bellinger to pass him on the bases. Article:
The umpires enforced Official Baseball Rule 5.09(b)(9) in declaring trailing batter-runner Bellinger out and allowed lead runner Turner to complete his jog to home plate (“Any runner is out when he passes a preceding runner before such runner is out”).
