Carson Kelly grounded into the strangest of double plays in the ninth inning Thursday, capping off a 6-4 Diamondbacks loss to the Pirates.
Down two in the ninth inning Wednesday night, the Diamondbacks should have had first and second with one out for Jordan Luplow. When Luplow flied out to right, they should still have had life.
First, Castro inexplicably threw to third, where there was no longer a force out, forgoing an easy double play at first. Sergio Alcantara, who had been forced out at second, remained on the bag. Because Alcantara was still there, Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman then chased Emmanuel Rivera from third back to second, presumably thinking he could get tag Rivera out since the Diamondbacks would have two runners occupying second base.
Got all that? If not, you’re not alone. It took nearly a five-minute discussion between managers and umpires to sort out the chaos.“When there's zero stimulus and you're in your living room and you're watching and you're unfolding it slowly piece by piece, it's easy to figure out what's happening,” Lovullo said. “But when you're in it and right in the middle of it, it's just a reaction play and it's a little uneasy for the people that are out there.
For the Diamondbacks, the play punctuated a frustrating night. Despite scraping across four runs, they didn’t record an extra-base hit for just the eighth time this season.
