Blue Jays' double steal was a surprise to everyone

The Blue Jays added some razzle dazzle to their game on Saturday.

In the eighth inning, leading the Seattle Mariners 6-2, manager John Gibbons called for a double steal with Devon Travis on third base and Luke Maile on first. With Ezequiel Carrera batting, Seattle pitcher James Pazos delivered a pitch and Maile — not the swiftest runner — bolted for second and Travis for home. It worked. Travis became the first Blue Jay to steal home since Russell Martin did so at Washington on June 2, 2015.
