Does Evans clarify that statement in the JEA or is that a clarification in the rules that took place in the MLBUM after JEA was published?

Thanks.
I think Evans is just assuming less than 2 outs. A run can never score when BR makes the third out before reaching first, and I'm pretty sure Evans knows that.
