Re: Beltran's bunt.


With runners at first and second and none out, Beltran bunted the first
pitch from Chris Carpenter, poking a slow roller up the third-base line.
Yadier Molina fielded the ball but threw wide to first, and Beltran was
credited with a single that loaded the bases.

Good play. Power hitter with speed bunting causes chaos.
What happens after with 3 big hitters following is unknowable.
Kinda free shot too, bunt the line and it's a foul strike or a hit.
