The Miami Marlins got an excellent six innings out of lefty starter Adam Conley on Tuesday, as he took a shutout into the seventh inning. The wheels came off a bit in the seventh for Conley though, as he allowed solo home runs to Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos before allowing two more base runners and yielding to the bullpen. When Conley left, he had pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and notching eight strikeouts. He left with two outs and two runners on base. Overall, a very solid line and a great start. But the bullpen had other ideas.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly brought in rookie Nick Wittgren to make his major league debut. Again, Nick Wittgren was brought in to make his major league debut with runners on second and third in the seventh inning of a two-run game. With Bryce Harper on deck, Wittgren looked nervous and walked Anthony Rendon after taking a 3-0 count to a 3-2 count. Mattingly then lifted Wittgren for lefty Chris Narveson.

Lefty on lefty, that’s what “the book” says, right? Never mind Narveson’s 9.00 ERA or the fact that he seems to either throw balls or throw pitches right down the middle. Still, Narveson came in and Bryce Harper came up to bat. Marlins fans worldwide wondered, “will he walk in a run or will he give up a grand slam?” There seemed to be no chance for Narveson to get Harper out.

On a 2-1 count, Chris Narveson, Major League Baseball pitcher, considered by the Marlins to be one of the best 25 players in the organization, threw an 86 mph flat, motionless fastball belt-high, right down the middle of the plate:

A relatively slow pitch, with no movement that splits the plate in half, right at belt height, to the best hitter in baseball. With the bases loaded. What could possibly happen next?
