Justin Bour used his most elegant slide to reach second on a hustle double -- much to his teammates' delight

When Justin Bour woke up on Saturday morning, he likely did not anticipate the need to rely on his speed during the Marlins' upcoming contest against the Padres. After all, he is known as a slugging first baseman for a reason.
The tables were turned, however, in the sixth inning, as Bour created a run not with his bat, but with his legs. It started when Bour cracked a hit off Tyson Ross just inside the right-field line. Franmil Reyes was playing him deep and had to hustle to get to the ball, so Bour sensed an opportunity.
It was time to show off his wheels and sliding technique:

Beautiful form.
The Marlins' bench loved it:

So did manager Don Mattingly, who had watched Justify win the Triple Crown in horse racing on the Marlins Park video board during the game. "It looked a lot like that horse they showed up on that screen," Mattingly said jokingly of Bour to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. "Bour and that horse look like they could have had a pretty good race."
Bour's adventures on the bases weren't over yet. He moved to third on a single by Brian Anderson and charged home to score when reliever Craig Stammen uncorked a wild pitch:

Thanks to Bour's surprising baserunning, the Marlins would tie the score, but the Padres eventually edged them out, 5-4.
