Steal two bases on one pitch?

Brandon Phillips followed with a single -- and then produced a rare sight. With the left-handed Adam Dunn up, the Nationals employed a shift that put three infielders on the right side, with third baseman Ryan Zimmerman essentially playing shortstop. Phillips stole second and, when Schneider didn't attempt to throw him out, rounded the bag and headed for third without breaking stride.

Also I watched this one live: (From Fox Sports play by play)
Bottom of the 1st
- Jose Reyes singled to center.
- On Smoltz's error on a pickoff attempt, Jose Reyes to second.
- Castillo sacrificed, third baseman C.Jones to second baseman K.Johnson, Jose Reyes to third.

- Wright hit a sacrifice fly to left fielder Harris, Jose Reyes scored

Uhm, if Castillo would have faked the bunt Reyes could have stole 3rd uncontested with Chipper Jones pulling in to cover the bunt. There was no wheel play on. WOOO WASTING OUTS!
