MIAMI -- Josh Palacios and Tarrick Brock had done the pregame work and studying to prepare for such a moment. But to pull it off in the ninth inning, well, it took some guts.
Or maybe it just took a situation where there wasn't much left to lose.
Down 1-0 in the top of the ninth inning and just two outs from an eleventh straight loss, Derek Shelton called for a double steal with Palacios on second and Andrew McCutchen on first. If it worked, the tying run would be just 90 feet away.
