Trailing 9-2 in the 9th with 2 outs, Santander inexplicably tries to go first to third on a single and is thrown out. Of course it was going to be a loss anyway but that just can't happen. 

And the play was right in front of him!

Really bizarre mistake from Santander, a guy I'd say normally doesn't make many.

I’m going to give Valaika a shout out for his 6th inning baserunning.   Blooped a ball into CF for a two run single and alertly took 2B when the Kiermeier threw home.   And then he beat a perfect throw by Arozarena on Gutierrez’s single to RF. Nice job all around by him.

Valaika lacks great talent but always seems fully aware of what's going on. I like the way he plays, I just wish he were better
