From the box score, the second caught stealing was Robert being picked off.

He’d been sacrificed to 2B after reaching on an infield error...so he was the go-ahead run in the Top of the 9th and was either stealing third or trying to get too big of a lead.  No need there to force something when a runner with his speed can score on almost any ball to the outfield with either 1 or 2 outs.   You don’t steal third unless you’re sure, and he’d already been caught stealing once earlier in the game.  Just goes to show “elite” speed and basestealing instincts don’t always go together, especially when he’s missed so much playing time the last two years.

Which is why you want him learning these things in the minors versus not trying to be aggressive until the majors.
