Ornelas flies out to right field. Durham reaches on an error by left field Elliott. Contreras hits a single to left field. Durham comes in to score. Yi flies out to right field. Davenport 0, Philadelphia 1 Durham has 15 SPD, his base running setting is +. Can you guess what happened to that weird situation? or that's just engine didn't count errors that event is 'almost' over? I can't guess any scenario on real baseball...

Next batter comes up with two outs and singles, scoring the runner. If you assume Durham is at first (which isn't entirely clear) -- then it would be a little weird that he could score (advance 3 bases) while the batter only got to first base. Steve
