It hit his outstretched glove and bounced out. "Dropped it" might be interpreted as he had control - but in that case it would have been caught, and an out. My guess would be that he couldn't see the ball until it passed over his head (he was going flat out away from the plate), and he didn't have the reaction time to close his glove before the ball bounced. I'd score that a hit, too. Now, Albies probably should have taken charge (play was in front of him), but scorers don't charge errors for real mistakes (mental), as opposed to physical misplays.
It's like, a fielder isn't charged with an error for throwing to the wrong base, or missing a cutoff man - but if a fielder does exactly the right thing, throws the ball where he should, and another fielder fails to cover, and thus isn't where he should be... the player throwing the ball is charged with the error, even though the other player screwed up.
Apparently, the premise of the error rules is that players don't have brains, only reflexes.
