Red Sox starter records an out in hilarious fashion by hugging Mariners' baserunner

You never know what you might see at the ballpark.

You could even see a hug between two players result in an out.

During the top of the third inning of the Boston Red Sox’s 9-8 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night at Fenway Park, Red Sox starting pitcher Payton Tolle discovered a new way to record an out.

With one out and no one on base, Mariners designated hitter Dominic Canzone hit a weak dribbler toward the pitcher's mound.

Tolle, all 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, came barreling off the mound, quickly fielded the ball and then ran toward Canzone along the first-base line.

Tolle, instead of simply tagging Canzone, hugged him for the out.

"It just kind of happened," Tolle said with a laugh, according to The Athletic.

"I was right there in front of him, like, ‘Bring it in for the big one.’" Tolle said Canzone was probably a little surprised by his embrace.

"I mean, probably for a second," Tolle said.

"But then it's like, ‘Yeah, this is just going to happen.’" ZERO BS.

JUST DAKICH.
