The Colorado Rockies had a profitable evening in opposition to Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Jared Jones, scoring six runs in opposition to him in 5 innings.
The sixth of these runs got here when Ryan McMahon efficiently stole dwelling by merely profiting from what can solely be described as a lazy throw again to the pitcher from Pirates catcher Yasmani Grandal.
Take a look.
That play merely cannot occur on the main league stage. Grandal had been lobbing his throws again to the pitcher the complete inning and simply earlier than McMahon stole dwelling the Rockies third base coach was speaking to him and pointing one thing out, presumably alerting him to these throws.
McMahon took benefit of it.
You don’t see straight steals of dwelling plate fairly often, however the Rockies noticed a chance for it right here. they took benefit of it.
