“It shouldn’t be mathematically possible for me to run that far.’’

Kelly Shoppach led off with a triple to left field, the ball chasing Alex Gordon back to the fence but eluding the Gold Glover. It was the first career triple for Shoppach, who earlier this season stole his first career base. His speed is developing at the age of 32, apparently.

“Best shape of my life,’’ he said. “It shouldn’t be mathematically possible for me to run that far.’’
