This is a moment J.T. Realmuto will absolutely want to forget.
In extra innings, the Los Angeles Dodgers were leading the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 with Garrett Stubbs up to bat. Stubbs was able to leg out a great infield single before the Dodgers were able to get him out, but disaster struck for Realmuto, who was headed to third after starting the 10th inning at second.
Realmuto was safe into third base thanks to a high throw to Justin Turner, but the Dodgers third baseman made a brilliant move to fake out the Phillies catcher. Turner pretended that the ball had actually gone over his head, causing Realmuto to start running home, but he actually had the ball the whole time! As Realmuto scrambled to get back, Turner tagged him out on an incredible play.

What a move from Turner to keep the Dodgers in the game! The Phillies, however, were able to win in the end thanks to some great hustle from Roman Quinn.
