That was the case Wednesday at Tropicana Field, when Rays second baseman Logan Forsythe hit a weak chopper to third baseman Josh Donaldson for an infield single that broke up Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada's perfect-game bid of 7 1/3 innings during Toronto's 1-0 extra-inning victory over Tampa Bay.
"I was just trying to get the barrel on the ball and try to get it somewhere," Forsythe said. "It wasn't a pretty hit, but it was a hit."
The infield hit came just five pitches after Donaldson made a spectacular diving catch three rows into the seats down the left-field line.
