With the Angels leading 6-5 in the seventh inning, Seattle’s Jean Segura tried to score from third on a fly ball to short left when Justin Upton’s throw sailed wide of home.
Playing only his ninth professional game ever at third base, he arrived just as Segura did, taking the relay from Maldonado and making the tag.
“Pretty surprised,” said Fletcher, who played at Cypress High and Loyola Marymount. “You can’t really predict that.”
