B.J. Upton loses fly ball in the sun (Video)

Atlanta Braves center fielder B.J. Upton lost a fly ball after being blinded by the sun during the second inning of Sunday's game against Cincinnati. Reds batter Brayan Pena was credited with a double after his fly ball popped out of Upton's glove as it came down. Upton was wearing glasses, but not sunglasses.

The misplay by Upton did not cost the Braves, as Pena did not come around to score. The Braves won the game 1-0 in 10 innings.
