What a Klepto

When Jacoby Ellsbury stole home last month against the New York Yankees, Andy Pettitte felt wildly embarrased.

But not as embarrassed as Will Ohman of the Dodgers felt when Jason Werth of the Philadelphia Phillies stole not just one base but three bases on him in the seventh inning, including home plate last night.

Werth also stole third base earlier on in the game, making him the first Philly since Garry Maddox in 1978 to steal four bases, according to The Morning Call.

It also made him the first major leaguer to steal three bases in one inning since Eric Young in 1966, according to The Morning Call.

Werth, who proved himself last season, again proves his worth.
