With the Nationals leading 4-2 and runners on first and third, Soto tried his luck at swiping second but was tagged out just in the nick of time. The steal attempt followed reliever Dillon Maples making a risky throw to second for a force out after fielding a nubber hit by Soto. Maples' risk paid off, resulting in the first out, and Baez's sweet tag marked the inning's second out. Maples drew a groundout soon afterward and escaped unscathed.
