With two outs in the 8th inning of last night’s laugher, Joe Maddon assembled his infield on the mound and made it appear as though Anthony Rizzo was going to get the ball. Then the manager faked a hand-off to Rizzo and called for Victor Caratini, who was making his second appearance on the mound in four days. Rizzo would get his chance, though, taking over for Caratini to close out the D-backs in the top of the 9th.
It was a masterful performance that saw the erstwhile first baseman eephus his way to an out as he needed only two pitches to retire A.
