Did Chris Chambliss unveil a new keystone combination of the future with Brent Morel at short and Jordan Danks at second?
Actually, the Knights only have four infielders, and one of them -- Fernando Cortez -- was ejected in the middle of the first at-bat, which pressed Danks into action at second. I'd love to see the video.
Morel homered twice. Danks didn't fare so well.
