Cardinals' Masyn Winn Raced Around the Bases After Cubs Star Lost Track of Outs

In this story:
St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn showed off the benefits of always hustling as he raced in from second base on a fly ball to center on Tuesday night. Winn's 180-foot scamper was facilitated by Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong losing track of how many outs had been recorded in the fourth inning.
The play started innocently enough as Alec Burleson lofted a high drive to the warning track that Crow-Armstrong easily tracked down. But once PCA had ball in glove he relaxed, thinking the inning was over. Winn, on the other hand, took off like he anticipated such a mental error and was able to score before the Cubs could get their act together.

The Cardinals would go on to win 8-7, Winn's run proving quite large. Crow-Armstrong offered a simple assessment of his performance.
“I didn’t do a good job of playing the game of baseball today.”

Crow-Armstrong remains one of the most productive players in the National League and the Cubs one of the best team in baseball.
