Giants, Dodgers win on same rare play (hit baserunners)
Entering Saturday, the last time a game had ended with a baserunner being struck by a batted ball was June 27, 2010. The Pirates lost to Oakland that day, after Pedro Alvarez was hit on the basepaths.
Well, it happened again in the ninth inning of Saturday's Giants win over the Angels. And then it happened again in Los Angeles, where the Dodgers beat the D-backs.
In San Francisco, with the Giants leading 5-4 in the ninth, the Angels' Matt Joyce hit a rocket toward second base that struck Taylor Featherston as he tried to get out of the way.
The situation at Chavez Ravine played out slightly differently. Arizona's David Peralta hit a ground ball up the middle -- only to have it slightly nick Jordan Pacheco, who was running with the pitch. Pacheco never saw the baseball before it grazed his left foot and trickled into center field. The D-backs lost, 6-4.
