Odubel Herrera got stuck in a wall on Tuesday night. 

Yes, you read that right. The Phillies held a sizable lead over Milwaukee after scoring five runs in the bottom of the third. No one scored again as the game proceeded into the fourth and then the fifth and then the sixth. 

Philadelphia thought it was safe and switched up the lineup sometime during the drought. However, it proved to be a potentially fatal mistake for what could’ve been a runaway victory. 

The Bucks hammered away four runs at the top of the seventh with Jackie Bradley Jr.’s 411-foot homer topping them all. And that, baseball fans, is how Herrera got stuck in the wall. 

The 29-year-old center fielder ran towards the trees and jumped onto the wall before getting his foot stuck. Phillies outfielder Matt Joyce came to his rescue, though, and helped Herrera get his foot out from between the padding. 

Teamwork makes the dream work?
