Hisashi Iwakuma threw his first career no-hitter Wednesday versus the O’s. Here’s how it ended …
Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager made an incredible catch in foul territory for the first out of the ninth inning. It seems like every no-hitter or perfect game has a signature, standout defensively play.
Cubs shortstop Javier Báez pulled off one of the best jukes you’ll see, avoiding the tag from David Freese on a play at first base in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Dodgers. Báez barely made contact with a Kenta Maeda pitch well outside the strike zone, tapping it towards Freese. Báez halted his momentum, juking Freese while he attempted to apply the tag, then dove into first base.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts attempted to argue that Báez went out of the baseline, but the umpires’ no-call stood and Báez had himself a single. He would end up stranded on base, unfortunately for him and the Cubs.
