Aggressive Villar 'running' fine line on bases

Three times in a four-game span from Wednesday to Saturday, Villar made the third out of an inning at third base. The capper came in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Padres, when Villar was out trying to steal third in the bottom of the ninth inning of a tie game.
