Harper's hustle earned him the double. It was hit into right center. It helped the second baseman cut the ball off for some reason, but he was probably safe anyways.
I know Pineda's damaged goods but he can't be too thrilled about Baldelli playing the third-time-through card to pull him there. Though maybe Harper would have homered off him.

Cesar Hernandez flies into a double play, center fielder Byron Buxton to catcher Willians Astudillo. Bryce Harper out at home.
I guess you hope for a bad throw but even a throw well off the plate was there as the runner approached the plate. Out by 20 feet or more. At least they got one run.
well damn. yeah, I think you probably send him there no matter what and hope the throw is not as good (or actively bad) but it was an awfully short fly ball. and a guy who hustles but isn't actually fast.
A disappointing inning once they loaded the bases with no outs. It would have been disappointing in a tie game but really seems disappointing since it was the tying run left on base or should I say out at the plate I guess.
