WATCH: Pirates Rookie Ke'Bryan Hayes Called Out After Hitting Home Run, Not Touching First Base

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pirates rookie Ke'Bryan Hayes had a home run taken off the board after a base-running mistake.

During Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Hayes was called out after he did not touch first base after hitting the first-inning homer.

Since Hayes missed first base, he was ruled out and the game remained scoreless after the successful challenge from the Dodgers. It was a tough break for the Pirates, who came into the game with the second-worst record in the National League.

The Pirates ending up losing 5-3.

Tuesday's miscue was the second time in as many weeks that the Pirates made headlines for a blooper.

On May 27, then-Pirates first baseman Will Craig made a head-scratching play that led to a Chicago Cubs run instead of an easy third out.
