UPDATE: Baseball fans can enjoy free Taco Bell tacos, thanks to a stolen base by Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies.

Albies swiped second base Tuesday night in the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series against the Houston Astros, earning him the title of “Taco Hero,” according to Taco Bell. Fans may redeem the offer for a free Doritos Locos Taco on Nov. 4 at participating Taco Bell stores, while supplies last.

Taco Bell rewards members can access the deal via the app or online starting Wednesday.

The original story is below.

ORIGINAL: Taco Bell will treat baseball fans to free tacos during the 2021 World Series — if there’s a stolen base.

The taco chain’s “Steal a base, Steal a taco” deal is back as the Atlanta Braves face the Houston Astros. The best-of-seven series opens at 8:09 p.m. EST Tuesday.

Fans can score a free Doritos Locos Taco if a player from either team steals a base during the Fall Classic and is crowned the “Taco Hero,” according to a news release. The free taco offer is limited to one per person and can be redeemed at a date and time to be announced.

Taco Bell Rewards members can get early access to the deal in the app once a base is stolen. The offer excludes deliveries, however.

This marks the 10th year that Taco Bell has partnered with Major League Baseball for the annual promotion. To celebrate, the first base of the 2021 World Series that’s stolen will head to Cooperstown, New York, and be displayed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

“Partnering with Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to send the 10th stolen base to Cooperstown and tell the story of ‘Steal a Base Steal a Taco’ is an amazing honor and a true testament to connecting America’s love of baseball and tacos like only Taco Bell can,” Tracee Larocca, Taco Bell’s head of brand creative, said in a statement.
