With a 4 run lead, Eckersley (RHP) is on the mound with F9 fatigue. Runners on first and second. Julio Cruz batting rolls a 2-7. Result on card: 2-7- gb(2b)B Result in game: Single (CF)
Next batter hits a grand slam to tie the score. Of course I eventually lose on a double by Julio Cruz.

i'm sorta developing an impression that the card images are not necessarily completely accurate or something. I thought i saw a similar post/thread a while back.
Current card does in fact show a single on 2-7 against righties.
As to whether it was wrong in the past cannot say. If it was wrong and you wrote to strat that displayed dice roll does not match card I can tell you what their answer would be. The result is correct. There is just a display error in the box score.
Strat Support said that they had the incorrect image displayed before for 1978 Julio Cruz. The correct image that shows 2-7 as a single is now up. I just checked to confirm.
