Play for one run. If it works, you get one run. If it doesn't, you get nothing. Either way, you almost never go from a one-run strategy (sacrifice bunt) to a big inning.

[LoneStarPhan]

Agree, I'd have liked more that inning. Not sure why Herrera bunted but I guess he had visions of beating it out. I don't support sacrifice bunts from your 3 hole hitter with no outs in the first inning.

I don't see how Kingery can take that called third strike. Clearly a strike all the way. He is showing his lack of minor league playing time. He can learn in the majors, but I think AAA time would have served him well. Perhaps the contract is impeding his development.
