ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The play was reminiscent of what the Pirates did so well in April, and it was done by a player who was in Class AA Altoona in April.
Trailing 7-2 at Angel Stadium in the top of the seventh, Angels catcher Matt Thaiss threw short on his toss back to his pitcher, Jacob Webb, and the ball squirted behind the mound. Nobody called time or went after the ball, so Liover Peguero, who was on third, made a break towards home and scored:
“I was watching that the whole way," Peguero said.
