Lugo (6-5) allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.1 innings to earn the win Thursday over the Mariners. Lugo continued his run of dominance -- he has allowed one run or fewer in five straight starts.

But a play at the plate in Seattle’s 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night left him scratching his head, as Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. flashed some magic of his own.

The ball dribbled into the outfield as Jonathan India scored and Bobby Witt Jr. raced home behind him. A perfect throw awaited Witt at home plate. But somehow, Witt avoided the incoming tag with a terrific slide.
