Astros player belts home run, rounds the bases and then gets devastating news after touching home

Houston Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell took a useless jog around the bases in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this week.

Talk about a brutal plot twist.

Trammell belted what he thought was his sixth home run of the season in the seventh inning of Monday's eventual loss to Toronto. The lefty uncorked on a fastball to the deepest part of Daikin Park (should still be Minute Maid Park, but that's neither here nor there), and thought he got all of it.

He touched first, rounded second, hit third and then finished his trot by touching home, thanking God, and making the short, triumphant walk back to his dugout for a well-earned congratulations from the rest of the team.

The only problem? When he finally looked up for the obligatory "atta boys!" from his teammates, they were nowhere to be found ...

... Because the ball was caught at the wall.

Take a look:

Oh no! Just a brutal look for Taylor Trammell. Humiliating. Devastating. I can't even imagine what's going through his head when he touches home and then realizes what he just did.

How do you look your teammates in the eyes after that jog? Goodness. Better yet, how do they look him in the eyes after?

Do they laugh? Do they try to pick him up? Do they just ignore it and act like it never happened? What a pickle.

To be fair, Trammell was clearly locked in. Good for him, by the way. We always rag on guys who show up the pitcher and make a huge spectacle out of hitting a home run.

Trammell put his head down and ran hard. That's what we want, right? No showboating. No bat-flipping. No admiring his blast. Just put your head down, touch all the bases, and get back to the dugout.

You're down 3-0. It's not the time for showing off.

That being said, this one came back to bite poor Taylor Trammell. He thought he had himself a dinger. He's hit only 24 over a seven-year MLB career, so it doesn't happen often.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen Monday night, either.
