?s=46&t=3VBm1LJ8j8qLp6JTs_8J2A
On Tuesday, the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes made a play worthy of their namesakes from The Simpsons.
The sequence began innocently enough. With two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth inning of the Isotopes' game against the El Paso Chihuahuas, Albuquerque shortstop Ryan Ritter walked. Catcher Austin Nola trotted home with the go-ahead runand then, mayhem.
While Chihuahuas catcher Luis Campusano threw the ball back to pitcher Omar Cruz, Isotopes second baseman Aaron Schunk alertly tore home. His steal forced an errant throw to third, and left fielder Jordan Beck tacked on another run to make it 52 Albuquerque.
The Isotopes went on to a 72 victory, fueled by one of the strangest baseball sequences of the year anywhere. It created statistical oddities like this one:
Cruz, the losing pitcher, has an 0.00 ERA for the season because he techinically didn't allow any earned runs.
