Yoenis Cespedes gave up on a spring training play on Thursday when a fly ball became wedged under the center-field wall, but the second-base umpire ruled the ball was live and A.J. Reed scored on an inside-the-park home run.

"He thought it got stuck," Terry Collins said. "The umpire [C.B. Bucknor] went out and swiped the ball and said it wasn't stuck. It's one of those things we could talk about a ground rule, [but] we don't talk about that much in spring training. ... It was just a misunderstanding more than anything."

During the second inning between the New York Mets and Houston Astros, Cespedes backed away from a ball that was in plain sight underneath the padding on the wall.

"The ball fell under the fence," Cespedes said through an interpreter. "It got wedged in there. For me, I couldn't grab that. I thought that should have followed the ground rule and should have just been the double."
