Wade was already between second and third when Fletcher caught it, so he ran as hard as he could to head back to first.

He probably watched a couple of his teammates, Corbin and Alek (Thomas) and Jake (McCarthy), last year getting this opportunity.

The first was the sacrifice-fly double play in the first inning. In the fourth, Walker hit a short popup behind the bag at second base that was caught, and with Carroll stuck in no-man\u2019s land between first and second, he was doubled up before he could get back to first. The third came in the fifth, when Giants catcher <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bartjo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-14_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Joey Bart<\/a><\/strong> struck out as shortstop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/schmica01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-14_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Casey Schmitt<\/a><\/strong> tried unsuccessfully to steal second. \u2026 Fletcher narrowly missed having the 12th two-triple game in Diamondbacks franchise history in the eighth inning, when his triple was changed to a home run by replay review.
