Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett fielded the baseball on a hop and pulled a time-honored trick, quickly pocketing the "real" ball and throwing an alternate into the stands to a fan. But that was the second-most interesting thing about the exchange. The Jeff Kellogg-led umpiring crew conferred at the end of the play and agreed that Segura had tossed the ball away before timeout had been called. By rule, Arcia was awarded two extra bases.
The Brewers were unable to cash in on that break, however. After Shipley intentionally walked Martin Maldonado, he struck out Brewers pitcher Chase Anderson to end the inning.
