Controversy without consequence for Orioles as manager Buck Showalter argues for double play on rundown

Instant replay in baseball has removed much of the time-honored tradition of managers shouting at a group of umpires after a controversial decision, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter got his fill of arguing in Friday night at Yankee Stadium.

With runners on first and third base in the sixth inning and reliever Richard Bleier protecting a 3-2 lead, the crafty left-hander got Neil Walker to top a sinker softly down the third-base line. Bleier fielded it and chased Giancarlo Stanton back up the third base line, starting a 1-5-2 rundown that ultimately retired Stanton.
