In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Mets were up 2-0 after an impressive Max Scherzer start that saw just one hit and three walks allowed for no runs over five innings.
But they needed some insurance on the scoreboard, so they were aggressive offensively. After Mark Canha got to second base with no outs, Luis Guillorme came to the plate with a bunt in mind to get his teammate over to third base.

Then, just two batters later, catcher Tomas Nido wasn’t trying to bunt, but he managed to make contact and see another baseball roll down that same baseline to stay in fair territory.
