Trailing 3-2 with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth, the Pirates appeared to catch a break when Travis Shaw, the runner on first, found himself in no man’s land between first and second. After Elias Diaz threw down to first, the runner on third, Trent Grisham, broke for home, but was quickly caught in a rundown.
Near the end of the rundown, Diaz threw the ball to third baseman Colin Moran but stayed in the baseline and was called for interference.
