Tampa Bay's Yandy Díaz drove a pitch to deep right-center, known as Triples Alley at Oracle Park, and Lee made a play that created a buzz Sunday on social media as San Francisco beat the Rays 7-1. Lee ran to his left and while sliding on his left leg, the baseball bounced out of his glove.

Vintage Verlander not enough for SF Giants vs. Rays in seventh straight loss
The all-time strikeout leaderboard is about as meaningful as any scoreboard these days in the world of the San Francisco Giants, at least every fifth day when Justin Verlander takes the ball.
