VIDEO: Indians' Oscar Mercado Accidentally Assists a J.D. Martinez Home Run That Hit the Wall

J.D. Martinez left the yard against the Indians Monday, but it wasn't in the manner you would expect. Martinez scorched a pitch to right-center field, and Indians' outfielder Oscar Mercado was in pursuit. He arrived just late, however, and the ball hit the top of the wall, before ricocheting off his glove and going over the fence.

This is incredibly unlucky for the young outfielder, though it's not quite Jose Canseco levels of embarrassing.

Still, despite his best effort to prevent an extra-base hit, Mercado ended up assisting on the solo shot.
