Eric Young did in 1996 for the Rockies. Otis Nixon in 1991 for the Braves. Eddie Collins has done – twice – in 1912 for A. And now, Carl Crawford on Sunday for Tampa Bay. In the eighth inning of the Rays game against the Red Sox tied a record for MLB Crawford for stealing six bases in a game, a feat only three other players since 1900.
Even the Red Sox under Crawford feat. Shortstop Julio Lugo admitted that Crawford is "an athlete, one of the fastest in the older, and catcher Jason Varitek agreed: "It's good, and has the speed to go with it."
The Red Sox entered the series of smoky Hot, who had won 12 of their 13 games and dominated the Rays in both the first game 19-2. His sweeping victory shattered on Saturday with 10-6 and then completely canceled Sunday.
The first column is a doubtful for the Rays, but recovered. James Shields took a bases loaded single to JD Drew, but then managed to keep runners outside the third. He pitched the eighth, striking out six and walked two, allowed one run and six hits in total. In the eighth, with one and one on the left, was replaced by JP Howell.
In the eighth, Crawford was 4-for-4 with an RBI. He had already stolen bases in the first, third, fifth, seventh innings. With two outs, four-time AL stolen base champion slid into second for the fifth time, scoring his sixth game steal and launch his book of records in the MLB. The crowd of more than 32,000 exploded, and the panel issued a message of welcome to the results obtained.
Crawford, however, remained unconscious.
With its focus on the game, and not talking about statistics, the left had no idea what he had done.
"I discovered later," Crawford confessed. "Wish I'd known by the party. I probably would have broken if I knew. Certainly tried.
Jason Bartlett and Michel Hernandez also stole bases for the rays end the game with a franchise-record 8.
But the victory Sunday night will undoubtedly Carl Crawford. Crawford now leads the league in interceptions with 17 main. Ahead of former leader Jacoby Ellsbury of Boston, who is trailing with 13.
Varitek Crawford blamed first flight. The shot put the ball in center field, giving Crawford a chance to second. "They threw me, he said. But even if Varitek had great shots and even when the pitcher Brad Penny was 1.28 seconds for the plate on a flight, Crawford handled his interceptions. Boston Manager Terry Francona shrugged shoulders: "We can not go faster than that," he said. "He was ahead.
The Rays defeated the Red Sox 5-3.
But the Red Sox have not lost hope. With nearly 140 games to play, the Red Sox maintain their trust. "I think someone does not break the panic button" Boston's Dustin Pedroia said.
The next game is in Boston with the Yankees, while Ray is the next game with the Orioles. Both games will be held Tuesday, May 5.
