It’s the top of the fifth with one out. Travis Snider draws a walk after Manny Machado grounds out to second base. After exploding for four runs in the second, Astros starter Collin McHugh has kept the Orioles bats in check, holding runners off the bases in third and fourth frames.
Adam Jones is at the dish and the O’s slugger flies out to shallow center field for out number two — and then we see Snider rounding second base, unaware that there’s one out remaining.
“[Wayne] Kirby told him about eight times,” Buck Showalter said after the game according to the Baltimore Sun’s Ed Encina. “Bobby [Dickerson] held it up in the air. It’s unacceptable.”
