Gonzalez thrown out on close play at plate
Adrian Gonzalez was thrown out by Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward on a close play at the plate in the second inning -- so close that Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts challenged the call. But the call stood. (Getty)The runner at second base, Gonzalez, made it home for a headfirst slide in 7.32 seconds, according to Statcast™, his second-fasted time from second to home this season. But he was called out by plate umpire Angel Hernandez after an 89.9 mph throw from Heyward. Heyward had an assist earlier this year tracked at 98.9 mph, so it was far from his best throw this season.
