Kirk Nieuwenhuis stole third base without a throw in the sixth inning. He got a huge walking lead off second with starter Jerad Eickhoff on the mound before bolting for third. It was his first stolen base of the year.
Leftfielder Tyler Goeddel committed an embarrassing error when he dropped Colin Walsh’s foul pop fly in the eighth inning, only to redeem himself on the next pitch with a diving grab to rob Walsh of a hit.
Nieuwenhuis posted his first multi-hit game of the season, going 2 for 4 with a double and two RBI.
