Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco singled off of Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Paul Skenes in the top of the first inning. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford, on second base, decided he would run past third base and head home.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' star centerfielder proved that in a big way on Sunday. Needing to uncork maybe the most perfect outfield throw in baseball history to cut down a runner at home plate, that's what Cruz did. He unleashed a 105.2 mile per hour laser on one hop to his catcher for a tag out.

The Pittsburgh Pirates suffered yet another frustrating shutout loss on Thursday night, falling 1-0 to the Seattle Mariners in a game where their bats once again failed to deliver.
