Watch Randal Grichuk Speed Home From Second On Clayton Kershaw Wild Pitch

When you’re facing a pitcher like Clayton Kershaw, you have to find unique ways to manufacture offense. And that’s exactly what Randal Grichuk did Tuesday night.

Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers were two outs away from a win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium with Dexter Fowler at the plate and Grichuk on second base. But when Kershaw spiked a curveball in the dirt, Grichuk took off — and he didn’t stop until the game was tied.

The Cardinals outfielder turned on the jets to score all the way from second base on Kershaw’s wild pitch, spoiling the Dodgers ace’s complete game shutout in the process. There wasn’t even a play at the plate, either, as Grichuk got a terrific jump and didn’t hesitate while steaming around third.

Grichuk’s efforts forced some extra baseball, but L.A. got the last laugh. In the 13th inning, Dodgers second baseman Logan Forsythe smacked a walk-off double to give his team a 2-1 win.
