The Oakland Athletics on Sunday turned a wild, highlight-reel double play in the second inning of a Toronto Blue Jays loss.
With a man on first and no one out, Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano tracked a ball to deep center field and made a leaping catch to rob Teoscar Hernandez of a home run.

Laureano then landed and made a throw of the warning towards first baseman Kendrys Morales. But the ball sailed over Morales' head towards the dugout and, thinking there was no one backing up the first baseman on the play, Toronto's Justin Smoak took off for second base.
But veteran catcher Nick Hundley was in the vicinity of the overthrown ball and he grabbed it and fired a strike to second to nail Smoak.

Oakland's unconventional double play ended that particular threat, but Smoak has won a five-win win.
