Fernando Tatis Jr. scored ALL THE WAY from first base on this steal! 🤯 📺 MLB Wild Card on Peacock & NBCSN https://t Via @NBCSports on X

What happened: Fernando Tatis Jr. broke for second and kept running after the ball was kicked during the slide. He circled home in the Wild Card Round opener airing on Peacock and NBCSN.

Why it matters: Manufactured runs carry extra weight in a short Wild Card series. One aggressive baserunning sequence flips field position and bullpen usage for the night.

What to watch: Wild Card Game 2 slate continues Wednesday, including Red Sox at Yankees at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
