Welp, Melancon just screwed one up. Lol.

With Acuña dogging it to third, the obvious option would've been for Guillorme to tag RAJ or third base. That said, Guillorme's momentum was all going forward and he didn't have eyes in the back of his head--even though Lugo was yelling at Guillorme to go to third.

Won a game by not getting a ball out of the infield. While I feel fortunate to win this game, I'll just be a homer and say we were due.

Looking at the replay, I don't think Guillorme could have done a 180 and beaten Acuna to third. He had to aggressively charge the ball and the angle of the richochet off of Lugo's foot just left him too far away from the base. I didn't think Acuna was lollygagging that much. He wasn't going full speed, but it's not like he was trotting either.

The replay suggests Acuna was working on his stepover. Bench.

We got back one of those games we threw away with those two breaks we got.
