You didn't know baseball involved swimming, did you?
Julio Rodríguez demonstrated that Friday night at T-Mobile Park. In the first inning, the Mariners' star rookie launched a drive off the center-field wall and was thinking triple as soon as it caromed back onto the warning track.
The only problem was the whole sliding into third thing.
Rodríguez got about four-fifths of the way between second and third before stumbling and then trying to "swim" his way to the bag. It was a tremendous effort -- perhaps one that would make Michael Phelps proud. But it wasn't enough to elude the tag of Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman, who received the throw and recorded the out.
