After dropping the first game of three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back with a 4-2 victory of their own on Saturday to make Sunday’s game the rubber match.
Shortly after the Jays took a lead in the top of the 8th inning, Jose Bautista stepped up to the plate looking to add to their lead. However, the Blue Jays slugger was walked for the second time of the night and took advantage of a snoozing Mariners infield.
As Bautista made his way down the first base line to take his base, he noticed that no one was occupying second base. Instead of staying put, the six-time All-Star made a veteran move and decided to take another base while he was at it.
The two-time MLB home run leader knows a thing or two about getting walked, so he decided to try something new and worked perfectly for him.
Bautista didn’t end up scoring in the inning, but the Jays still went on to win 4-2.
