No-look bunt? This pitcher pulled it off

As far as the box score is concerned, it was a successful sacrifice bunt. The reality was a little more complicated -- and amusing -- for Braves right-hander Dan Winkler.
With Ozzie Albies at first base and none out in the fifth inning of the Braves' 9-8 walk-off win over the Phillies at SunTrust Park, the Atlanta reliever with one career plate appearance was called upon to move the runner over. He took a strike and bunted a ball foul before getting the sacrifice down in unusual fashion.
It wasn't pretty, but Winkler managed to get the bat on the ball and move Albies over to second base.
