Base running blunders

The Red Sox have run into two outs at second base today. In the second, left fielder Ross Gload easily threw out Dustin Pedroia as Pedroia tried to extend a single into a double. The play ended the inning for Boston.

Just now, in the top of the sixth, Kevin Youkilis hit a hot shot to third. Rookie Alex Gordon stopped the ball, then threw wildly to first. But Mark Grudzielanek (there's that man again) was right in position to back up the ball, and he threw for the out at second as Youkilis ill-advisedly tried to take an extra base.

Kansas City still leads, 5-1, after 5 1/2 innings.
