With two outs in the fifth inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong lined a double down the right-field line. After starting Miguel Amaya, the No. 9 batter in the Cubs lineup, with a 2-0 count, pitching coach Pete Maki walked out of the dugout for a mound visit. Festa, focused on his next pitch, stepped onto the pitching rubber and looked toward home plate, unaware Maki was already past the first-base line.
