On Monday the Cubans José Adolis García and Randy Arozarena were rivals in the Home Run Festival. Nearly 24 hours later, patrolling the prairies for the American League, both made back-to-back impressive catches to get the first two outs in the All-Star Game.
Garcia’s defensive gem got there first after a drive from National League leadoff hitter Ronald Acuña Jr. Garcia, the Rangers outfielder, had to battle the intense sunlight on right field and jumped for socket the ball near the wall. Young Circuit starter and Yankees ace Gerrit Cole breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn’t last long.
The next batter, Freddie Freeman, lined out into left field. But Arozarena had her in sight and jumped up to make the catch before falling backwards against the wall. Of course, the Rays outfielder celebrated his big play with the familiar cross of his arms.
