Melvin Upton saw something in Colorado pitcher Chris Rusin’s delivery and the situation that he took advantage of tonight. He stole home.
The last Padres steal of home was completed by Everth Cabrera, but that was not on a pitch, it was with Los Angeles Dodger closer Kenley Jansen falling asleep on the mound and losing track of a very fast Cabrera.
This was a pitcher on the mound about to deliver from the stretch, and then Upton extends his lead and takes off.
