Pirates swept by Rays in series of missed opportunities

ST. PETERSBURG -- Diego Castillo's first instinct was to protect the base with the tag. Catcher Tyler Heineman's throw was accurate, and it looked like Randy Arozarena would be out comfortably on the stolen base attempt.

The Arozarena lifted his left arm to dodge the tag and Castillo made a mistake.

"I was trying to find his body," the shortstop was telling me after.

Arozarena ended up getting his right hand to hit the back corner of the second base bag before Castillo's tag landed on his leg, continuing the inning.
