What happened: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. fielded a grounder and threw to third to retire the lead runner. The inning ended without a run.
Why it matters: The decision erased the automatic runner and prevented an immediate extra-inning deficit. It positioned his club to finish the game in the bottom half.
By the numbers: The grounder was measured at 94.4 mph with an 18-foot hit distance; it came on an 88.2 mph splitter.
