Tino Sacrifices

Okay, I don't understand this at all. With a man on first and 1 out, Tino Martinez sacrificed a man to 2nd. Tino had 1 sacrifice with the Yankees, and that was in 1996. He had one last year, and this was his 2nd this year. But he's your number six hitter, a first baseman. He's supposed to be able to advance runners with long hits. Luckily for LaRussa, it worked out, as the Cubs walked Renteria to pitch to the light hitting Chris Widger, who singled in a run. I can't wait to see the explanation for this one.
