Because of Toronto’s defense that started the first inning of the game.
DJ LeMahieu chopped a grounder in Cavan Biggio’s direction with a runner on third and, charging in, Biggio fired across to Guerrero. The throw was accurate, but Guerrero, sensing a bang-bang play, stretched too far, yanking his back foot off the bag.
