Imagine the following scenario. Tigers slow-footed designated hitter Victor Martinez leads off an inning with a single and is removed for speedy pinch runner Anthony Gose. Third baseman Nick Castellanos doubles Davis to third and Davis eventually scores on a weak grounder by catcher James McCann. This sequence goes into the books as a run scored for Gose and an RBI for McCann, but Martinez and Castellanos get no credit for the team scoring a run despite contributing important hits.
