Scoring Plays Bottom 2nd, 2-0 PIT: With the bases loaded and two outs, Henry Davis hit a grounder to third base, where Kyle Karros made a diving play and threw to second. Brandon Lowe barely beat the throw and kept running through the bag, causing Nick Gonzales to get caught in a run down.
After one run already scored on the original fielder’s choice, Gonzales was awarded home on interference by pitcher Jose Quintana. Confused? Here’s a video: Idk what's happening here but we're on the board ‼️ pic.
