Friday wasn't a night to remember for Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff in San Francisco.
AB #1, 1st inning, 1st and 3rd, 2 out - Kouzmanoff flies out to center
AB #2, 3rd inning, runner on 2nd, 1 out - Kouzmanoff grounds out to third
AB #3, 6th inning, leadoff batter - Kouzmanoff flies out
AB #4, 8th inning, bases loaded 1st and 2nd, none out - Kouzmanoff grounds into a 5-4-3 triple play
AB #5, 11th inning, 1st and 2nd, no outs - Kouzmanoff grounds into a 4-6-3 douple play
AB #6, 13th inning, bases loaded, one out - Kouzmanoff pops out on the infield fly rule.
Kouzmanoff goes 0 for 6, leaves 9 runners, and makes 9 outs in 6 at bats. (The boxscore says 9, although I think the total should be 11 runners left on base, 2 on the first AB, 1 on the second AB, then two bases loaded outs (6 runners) and a DP with 2 runners on should count for two, but there are no rules for individual LOB.) It adds up now because Kouzmanoff didn't ground into bases loaded TP.
However, the Padres beat the Giants 7-3 in 13 innings.
Did he get an RBI on the triple play, or does the third out negate it? (Though it must have occurred long after the runner made it in to home, surely.)
