TERRIBLE baserunning by Heyward to not be at 3b on the sac fly by Molina. He should have definitely tagged because if that ball gets down he scores standing even from 2b. He should've held the bag, tagged on the catch and been to 3b.

Had he been at 3b, the grounder that Wong hits goes right to a drawn in Castro who looks Heyward back before gunning Wong down at 1b. Instead, with Heyward at 2b and a gunshy Lester on the mound, Castro has to play behind Heyward to keep him from walking all the way down the 2b line. Wong's grounder goes through the vacated hole and Heyward scores easily.

I'm sure Matheny motivated them to do that though.

No hit through 6, 2 runs scored off unearned runs. The starting pitching is doing it all for this team. The hitters have been taking half-assed, unfocused, undisciplined ABs all night but because Bryant threw a ball away and Heyward did a shitty job running the bases, they're up 2-0.

Yadis sack fly was out 2.
