Javy Baez dazzles once again with magic act in Cubs’ win over the Pirates

PITTSBURGH – Javy Baez isn’t called “El Mago” for no reason and the Pirates learned the hard way in the Cubs’ 5-3 win.

Baez has been known to do some amazing things on a field, but leave it to him to turn what would normally be an easy out into an adventure for an opposing defense.

“I think you can see different stuff in baseball,” Baez said. You never stop learning different things in baseball.”

After hitting a sharp ground ball to third base with two outs in the third inning, Baez began to run toward first base.
