GIF: Avisail Garcia's incredible home-run-robbing catch saves White Sox

Share

It looked like the White Sox were heading toward the second bullpen disaster in as many innings.

Then Avisail Garcia came to the rescue in spectacular fashion.

After 7 2/3 dazzling innings from Jeff Samardzija, Zach Putnam blew a 2-0 White Sox lead with one pitch in the eighth inning, surrendering a game-tying blast to Manny Machado. J.B. Shuck bailed Putnam out with a go-ahead RBI double in the bottom of the eighth to put the South Siders back in front. But David Robertson nearly gave up another game-tying blast off the bat of Chris Davis in the ninth. Garcia, though, leaped at the right-field fence and made an incredible catch to rob Davis' homer and keep the White Sox in front.

In the words of a certain broadcaster: Mercy!
