I didn't see this - can someone describe what happened? Was 7 playing in and the ball deflected to him? Or did Casey simply not run out a routine grounder and F5 decide to show him up.

I remember the Astros showing up a runner once when someone didn't run out a routine grounder. F5 (Garner I believe) lobbed the ball to the pitcher (Ruhle, I believe), who lobbed it to 1st base (could have been Howe). This Casey thing could have been similar.
