It is possible the runner on 3rd (Matsui) broke some to home and Mendoza stepped off and threw home to "make a play" but replays did not show that one way or the other.
But even if he broke he didn't actually go so it's still a balk. See my earlier post where I quoted the MLBUM.
I know that, it was meant to say why Mendoza would have done it in the first place as that is not anywhere near normal for a MLB pitcher to do.
