Cabrera on first and Raeburn on third. Cabrera was picked off terribly, got the 1B to chase him and Raeburn stole home.

Intentional.
Orlando did that at least three times as an Angel that I saw. Once, they were both safe and Orlando cruised to an unmanned third base.
Along with Torii Hunter, Orlando is one of the most savvy base runners I've ever seen on a regular basis. Once he stole home during a pitch by a right-handed pitcher, and he did it so cleanly that the pitch was never even delivered. I also saw him steal second without a throw several times a year. He's one of the smartest players in the game. He'll be a manager someday, I predict.
