Not exactly known for his speed, Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk stole a base for the first time in his career during Toronto's 6-5 win over the Rangers Friday night.
That's normally not a feat that garners massive attention, but it was for Kirk who was playing in his 532nd career game. In the bottom of the eighth inning with second base open and a runner on third, he took off from first as Myles Straw struck out swinging. Rangers catcher Kyle Higashioka quickly popped up but didn't throw the ball down to second, allowing Kirk to stand up for the first stolen bag of his six-year career.
