Scott Van Slyke throws out Logan Morrison at second base

Scott Van Slyke is making his first start of the season on Monday night - as the Dodgers face James Paxton, their first opposing left-handed starter in 2015 - and is making the most of it.

In the top of the second inning, Mariners first baseman Logan Morrison hit a ball down the left field line that Van Slyke tracked down near the left field corner. Trying for a double, Morrison was out easily at second base thanks to a tremendous throw that got to second baseman Howie Kendrick on the fly.
