Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco singled off of Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Paul Skenes in the top of the first inning. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford, on second base, decided he would run past third base and head home.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' star centerfielder proved that in a big way on Sunday. Needing to uncork maybe the most perfect outfield throw in baseball history to cut down a runner at home plate, that's what Cruz did. He unleashed a 105.2 mile per hour laser on one hop to his catcher for a tag out.

Oneil Cruz's pinpoint throw to catch J.P. Crawford tagging registers as the second-hardest-thrown outfield assist in the Statcast era.
