J-Rod was on third in the 10th inning when Randy Arozarena struck out and his bat went flying out of his hands toward Rodriguez. The outfielder ran to get out of the way of the bat … but the ball was still very much live. A throw to third and Rodriguez was out. Inning over, and the Yankees would go on to win.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez had a choice. Stay on third base and risk getting plunked by a flying bat hurtling towards his body or dodge the incoming lumber and take himself off the base momentarily.
