In the bottom of the 12th inning between the Angels and Athletics, Boog Powell triples just off the glove of Justin Upton with one out. With the score tied at five, Mike Scioscia brings Upton into the infield to try to cut down the run at home. Marcus Semien battles, then hits a fly ball to straight away center, where no outfielder is standing, and the Athletics win 6-5. The Orioles tried that defense earlier in the day and got the double play grounder.
I did not see it, but the Astros used four outfielders earlier in the day. Managers keep getting creative.
