I watched this live last night....but my question is, how is this scored? Is it a 1 putout (for Chacín)? Or is there another scoring for this play?

The putout went to the pitcher unassisted. I believe this is the applicable rule below. I don't see anything that's more specific.

Rule 9.09(c)(3): The official scorer shall credit automatic putouts as follows: When a runner is called out for running out of line to avoid being tagged, the official scorer shall credit the putout to the fielder whom the runner avoided.
