Diamondbacks' Chris Young's heads-up play earns praise from Kirk Gibson

"The stickiest jam Diamondbacks starter Daniel Hudson found himself in during Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Rockies was in the fourth inning when the Rockies had two runners on and Miguel Olivo at the plate.

Olivo lined a single to center field and as Troy Tulowitzki attempted to score from second base, Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young scooped up the ball and made a spot-on throw to catcher John Hester for the out to end the inning.

After the game, Diamondbacks interim manager Kirk Gibson praised Young for recognizing that Tulowitzki would be running for home because the pitcher was on deck.

"CY made a great play," Gibson said. " . . . Great execution there, good throw, good catch by Hester.""
