Pirates twice snub Cubs' Baez at plate

With one out in the 10th inning of Monday night's Pirates-Cubs game at Wrigley Field, Locke intentionally walked Kris Bryant to load the bases and bring up Anthony Rizzo.

Rizzo worked a 2-1 count, fouled off three pitches then chopped Locke's seventh pitch down the first-base line. Sean Rodriguez, brought in as a defensive replacement, snagged it, stepped on first base and flung the ball to Francisco Cervelli at the plate.

Javier Baez slid home, arms outstretched. Cervelli reached across the plate to snag Rodriguez's throw, which was slightly off-line, and tagged Baez.
