Anthony Rizzo walks. Kris Bryant to 2nd. Kris Bryant steals (2) 2nd base.
Bryant takes third because the Phillies have no one to cover. Franco took throw at second, a little to the right side. Bryant was safe but just took off for third and had it from the time he ran past Franco at second.
The shift fails again.
Feels like we are back in San Francisco.

Kyle Schwarber grounds out to first baseman Carlos Santana. Anthony Rizzo to 3rd. Willson Contreras to 2nd.
Phillies have returned to the sloppy play that has been far too common of late.
When was the last time a runner going to second gets the base due to a walk, the fielder fields the throw near the bag, but the runner just takes off and steals third base even though the ball is in the glove of the fielder at second at the time the runner leaves second base. And there is no error since there can be no throw if there is no Phillie player anywhere on the right side of the infield.
