In the top of the first, J.D. Martinez grounded out second-to-first. The first baseman had ranged to his right in an attempt to field the ball, so the second baseman had to wait a slight amount of time for his teammate to scamper back to the bag before he threw the ball. This fairly normal turn of events was deemed "strange" by Jerry Remy, who as a second baseman must have been in that exact same circumstance many times in his career.
Dave O'Brien said "Cuthbert [was] able to get back to the bag".
