DeWitt singled to left center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duda struck out swinging , Beltran stole second base, Castillo stole home.

lol - that sounds like an interesting play. With two out after the K, why throw through to second base?

 

The throw had him beaten by two steps !! Castro just didn't cover the base.
