What happened

The Pirates managed to score a pair of runs in the oddest of fashions during their 10-4 loss to the Rockies on Wednesday.

Why it matters

The two-out play in the bottom of the second started like any other when Henry Davis delivered a sharp grounder to the gap between third base and shortstop, but Colorado’s Kyle Karros managed to make the diving play on the ball.

Common ground

Karros made the throw to second instead of first in an attempt to get Brandon Lowe out.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
