I’m sure he wasn’t running on his own. He was acting on orders. Took a perfect throw, a great tag and a questionable call to get him. Not a bad decision to try to get him into scoring position given that Kimbrel has yet to allow an extra base hit. -

I like Means, but they can't take Suarez out of the rotation at this point. I assumed it would be Irvin or Means at some point. -
Perez had his first rehab outing today: double, RBI single, pickoff, fly out, ground out. Three of the batted balls were 95-97 mph, the exception being the 67 mph RBI single. He threw 13 pitches (10 strikes): only one four seamer, at 95.9 mph, 5 sinkers averaging 94.8, 6 sliders and one curve. Each pitch type yielded one ball in play, with the slider yielding the 67 mph RBI single. Overall, he didn’t fool anyone but threw strikes and showed good velocity first time out. Decent first outing.

Regarding the base steal at the ending of the game, Coincidentally I was posting about this exact same situation for the Orioles at the end of Game 2 last night in the Angel's series. There were runners on 1st and 3rd. Typically, looks like a good situation to run. But Gunnar was up to bat and the Orioles were down by multiple runs (I think it was 3 runs IIRC). We came to the conclusion that it would be foolish to risk the the runner trying to steal 2nd, because that's a run we need to score and we had a hitter who is capable of powering a 3 run home run at the plate. The risk outweighed the reward to steal.
