Eddie Rosario got picked off of second in the most embarrassing way
Oh no, Eddie Rosario.
This is not a good way to be picked off of second base (but don’t worry, he redeemed himself!).
Here’s what happened: in the top of the sixth and with the game tied 1-1, Rosario stole second against the Minnesota Twins, his old team. The ball got away from Andrelton Simmons, so the Cleveland outfielder took a few steps toward third. But then he turned his back as Simmons tossed to Jorge Polanco … and as he stepped back, he was tagged.
Oops. But it turned out to be OK, because Rosario’s key hit (see below) ended up winning the game for Cleveland:

The Twins intentionally walked Jose Ramirez to load the bases for Eddie Rosario… and he made his former team pay #OurCLE pic.twitter.com/ixx8IYyJx8

Bad job on the base-running, good job on the hitting.
