TEMPE, Ariz. -- Daniel Nava and Stefen Romero each notched multiple hits on Tuesday, then were thrust in the middle of a bizarre play during an eventual 4-4 tie between the Mariners and the division-rival Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
Nava went 2-for-3 to raise his Cactus League batting average to .619, but miscounted the number of outs in the fifth inning. The veteran outfielder settled underneath a Kyle Seager flyball that he thought resulted in the third out, so he tossed the baseball to a fan beyond the left-field fence, prompting Romero to advance from first to third base with two outs.
