For much of Friday night, it looked like the only story to come out of the game between the Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants was another lackluster start from Patrick Corbin and what further soul-searching the left-hander might need to do to rediscover his previous form.
Then the Unwritten Rules of Baseball™ reared their ugly head at the end of the game.
With the Giants up 7-1 in the ninth inning, second baseman Thairo Estrada tried to steal second base, with the Nationals not holding him at first. On that pitch, Brandon Crawford blooped a base hit just over the left side of the infield, so Estrada kept on chugging around the bases and attempted to score, before being thrown out pretty comfortably at the plate.
