ST. PETERSBURG -- A little Major League cat and mouse took place between Kevin Kiermaier and Jose Bautista during the Rays' 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Monday night at Tropicana Field.
In the second inning, Kiermaier made it to second base after hitting a single to right field. After Kiermaier slowed up after touching first, Bautista threw behind him hoping to record an out.
It's not the first time that scene has played out.
On Sept. 13, 2014, in Toronto, Kiermaier pulled off the same play. That led to him moving to third on a groundout and scoring on a passed ball.
