Angels’ Taylor Ward says his baserunning gaffe `probably never happen again’

Taylor Ward committed a baserunning gaffe that was embarrassing but not costly for the Los Angeles Angels in a 2-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Ward grounded into what he thought was a 5-4-3 double play in the eighth inning Friday night, taking a wide turn around first base and 10-to-12 steps toward second before veering toward the third-base dugout. Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. bobbled the low throw but did not see Ward heading toward second and threw the ball to pitcher Lou Trivino.
