Had Anthony Rizzo simply been happy with the unorthodox double-play he helped to turn in the second, I think we’d all have been happy. After a leadoff double by Scooter Gennett, Jean Segura tried to advance the runner with a bunt and Jason Hammel fielded and fired to Rizzo for the out. But seeing that Scooter had scooted a bit too far from third, Rizzo fired across the diamond to nail the runner before he could dive back to the bag.
Yeah. A 1-3-5 double play. Happens everyday. pic.twitter.com/XFTjg133yN

It was a very good play, maybe even a great play.
