Dee Gordon Ends A Dodgers Threat By Running Into A Ground Ball

For an instant, it looks like the Dodgers are going to execute a hit-and-run, and that they might even score on the play. Dee Gordon breaks for third, and Bobby Abreu punches a ground ball toward the hole, right to where Alberto Callaspo is no longer positioned because he's broken toward the bag.

First problem: Gordon never looks up once Abreu makes contact, so he never sees the ball bouncing right to where he's running. Second problem: There were two outs. Third problem: The Dodgers wind up losing by a run.
