Brayan Pena's Tag on Will Middlebrooks was Blocked by the Umpire
By Michael Shamburger
Brayan Pena was forced to cover third after Will Middlebrooks attempted to take the bag during a routine ground-ball out. Pena got to the bag in time to catch the throw from Prince Fielder, but when he turned to make the tag on Middlebrooks he found the umpire instead. Partly because the ump was almost on top of the bag. Tough break.
