Sometimes in sports the most important thing is being in the right place at the right time. Just ask Rockies second baseman Alan Trejo.
In the seventh inning of Colorado’s game against the Dodgers on Thursday night, Trejo found himself in the perfect position to turn a double play. When Los Angeles’s Chris Taylor took off for second as Tommy Doyle delivered the pitch, Trejo ran to cover the bag. Kiké Hernandez hit a sharp grounder right back up the middle, but because Trejo had moved to the base, he was right there to snag the ball.
