Watch the swing and you can see he got the pitch he was expecting, and he tried to hit it a mile. Probably overswung. It was not a great pitch -- Marshall's curve is so good when it's good that hitters -- especially lefties -- will not get that kind of swing on it. Like I said, he was lucky Heyward didn't tie the game there.
Well, gee, he got a curve from Marshall. Go figure.
