Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey , Kinsler veered to the infield side of the baseline and tried to go around the catcher, like a car trying to switch lanes to avoid a bottleneck. About 6 feet from the plate, Barnes caught the ball and tagged Kinsler in the midsection as the Boston runner tumbled past the plate without touching it.Bellinger had never before started a double play from the outfield in his big league career. The only other outfielder to throw out a runner at the plate in extra innings of a World Series game was Oakland’s Joe Rudi

Rudi cut down the New York Mets’ Bud Harrelson in Game 2 in 1973.The thrilling throw made up for Bellinger’s baserunning gaffe the previous inning.The NLCS MVP led off the ninth with a single against David Price. But Bellinger broke from first base too early when trying to steal second with one out and was caught by the left-hander and tagged out in a rundown.Price walked Yasmani Grandal and Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel came in and walked Chris Taylor only for Brian Dozier to foul out. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Even blow torches couldn’t get the field dry enough for the Nationals and Phillies to play.Despite unusual methods by the grounds crew at Citizens Bank Park, the game between the Washington and Philadelphia scheduled for Monday night was postponed because of rain. It was rescheduled as part of a traditional doubleheader Tuesday starting at 3:05 p.m.Field conditions were poor because of weekend rain and the tarp hadn’t been out.“Everybody saw the flame-throwers,” Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins said. “They did all they could. We were worried about player safety.”Nationals star Bryce Harper playfully pretended to slip as he walked out to the first base area. He then grabbed a rake and pushed for a few seconds and reached into a bag to sprinkle a drying agent on the field.Washington has been rained out on consecutive days and endured several hours of rain delays in their weekend series at home against the Cubs. Sunday’s postponement is scheduled to be made up Thursday.“We didn’t want anybody to get hurt
