Elvis Andrus just needed two seconds to score:

Elvis Andrus knew he was going to pull off a straight steal of home.

Moments after Andrus’ go-ahead, run-scoring single keyed a three-run play, the Rangers’ shortstop capped the four-run seventh inning by stealing home and leading Texas to an 8-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.

“First pitch, the guy actually takes a couple of seconds with his head down,” Andrus said. “The second time he did it, I said ‘Let’s try it. Let’s see what happens.’ “

Very cool. I love hearing about the thought process on plays like that.
