The Guardians scored two runs in the ninth inning Tuesday evening to conquer the Royals, 2–1, but that rally could possibly not have took place if not for an amazing play produced by catcher Bo Naylor in the base of the eighth inning.
In case you skipped it, Naylor had identified as for a pitchout with a runner on first foundation. Cleveland pitcher Trevor Stephan both did not see that simply call or he just produced a genuinely poor pitch because he arrived quite shut to throwing the ball entirely absent.
That is when Nalor saved the working day by not only generating a wild catch, but he was also capable to spin close to and toss out the runner at 2nd foundation.
This was so excellent:

Dealing with terrible pitches is critical to throwing out runners. This is an serious situation of that. #catchers https://t.co/bL7aFWPd9y
