In the top of the third inning of the Cubs' 5-3 win over the Pirates, [Javier] Báez was at the plate with two outs and Willson Contreras [on] second. Báez hit a sharp grounder to Bucs third baseman Erik González, who threw to first for what would have been the final out of the inning. The throw was wide, however, pulling first baseman Will Craig off the bag. With Báez barely halfway down the line, Craig readied to tag Báez as he approached.
