Christian Yelich stole home plate against his former team.
Left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers had his back to Yelich after throwing a strike to Willy Adames during the sixth inning, and both he and catcher Nick Fortes will have wished they were monitoring the former National League MVP more closely.
After a lackadaisical throw back to the mound, Yelich broke for the plate. Weathers bare-handed the ball and quickly tossed it back home, but it wasn't too late to prevent Yelich from scoring and making it a 2–0 game. The Brewers outfielder managed to slide in ahead of the tag from Fortes, toppling over the Marlins' catcher in the process.After walking to get on first, he stole second and advanced to third via a throwing error.
