Overview
- With two outs and the bases loaded, Henry Davis hit a hard grounder that Kyle Karros stopped and fired to second as Brandon Lowe kept running for third.
- Ryan O’Hearn scored and Nick Gonzales ended up in a rundown between third and home as the Rockies chased the lead runner.
- As Gonzales neared the plate, pitcher Jose Quintana made contact with him and home plate umpire Ramon De Jesus signaled obstruction on the defense.
- Gonzales was awarded home and Davis advanced to second, putting Pittsburgh up 2-0 before Colorado rallied to win 10-4.
- Reports differed on whether the call was labeled obstruction or interference, and MLB.com noted teams have tried running through second on force plays despite a recent abandonment rule that Lowe appeared to avoid.
