Snake Bytes, 8/24: Sink the Mariners

[AZ Central] Ahmed on track for Gold Glove - Outfielder Eric Young Jr. hit a ball deep into the hole between third base and shortstop. Ahmed back-handed the ball but had no time to plant his leg and throw. So he jumped a bit, threw across his body and had enough on the ball to throw Young out. “He makes it look easy,” Diamondbacks infielder Daniel Descalso said. “The great ones make it look easy, and he’s one of the great ones we have in this league.” A play like the one on Tuesday is why shortstop has been Ahmed’s favorite position since he was a kid.
