Texas Rangers designated hitter Prince Fielder had designs on scoring from second base on a single by Mitch Moreland in the first inning on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was betrayed by his own feet.

— MLB (@MLB) June 17, 2015 Fielder slipped rounding third base and had to hold. But it turned out to be a good thing for Texas, because left fielder Andre Ethier made a strong throw home and Fielder had he continued running in the upright position would have been out by a mile. Instead, the inning continued with the bases loaded and two outs, and Joey Gallo walked to score Fielder, giving the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
