What happened
San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen was left in an awkward situation after a forgotten MLB rule forced Walker Buehler out of Wednesday’s game against the Washington Nationals. Stammen initially went to the mound intending to make a pitching change, but Buehler managed to convince his manager to leave him in the game.
