The Play

September 2, 2011

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Atlanta Braves

Bottom of the 7th

Freddie Freeman lines out with two on base. Second baseman Sellers throws to Gordon at second for the double play. Gordon is throwing to first in the photo out of habit but it was not necessary as the out at second was the final out of the inning.

A Statcast search shows only one instance in 2011 where the Braves fell into a double play against the Dodgers. A play-by-play visual confirms the correct players are on base and fielding.
