Pedro Baez fell off the mound. There was no gust of wind that made him tumble. Nobody pushed him. He didn’t faint. He simply got his spike caught as he delivered a seventh-inning pitch.

And that’s essentially how the Giants beat the Dodgers 6-4 in the opener of a four-game series.

Because a runner was on third base during Baez’s mishap, a balk was called.
