Stealing home

The New York Yankees have been struggling to score runs lately, so Friday night, outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury decided to take matters into his own hands. Ellsbury singled with two outs in the fifth, took second on a single, took third on a balk, then stole home to tie the score 3-3 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Ellsbury became the first Yankee to pull off a straight steal of home since Derek Jeter did it in 2001. The Yankees won 6-3, snapping a three-game losing streak.
