Texas Rangers outfielder Craig Gentry made two amazing catches on Sunday, including a home run saving catch to rob Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer.
The first excellent grab occurred in the fifth inning when Gentry and second baseman Ian Kinsler collided in short center field. Kinsler collided with Gentry, but the fourth year player from the University of Arkansas held onto the ball.
Gentry followed up that amazing play with a home run robbing catch to dead center field. The web gem was a lead-saving catch to rob Mauer of the home run, and Gentry almost doubled off the runner on first base.

I’m not sure there was anyone at the Ballpark in Arlington on Monday night who wanted a win more than this guy. This Rangers fan was hooting and hollering to the point where both the people next to them were full of embarrassment during the 9th inning of Texas’ 6-5 win over the Rays. I was trying to figure out if this guy was so emotional...

I was pleasantly surprised on Saturday when Ryan Dempster broke his good game-bad game pattern yesterday with a decent outing that ended up being a win. All we needed was another decent start from Scott Feldman for a four-game sweep of the Twins.
So close and yet so far.
Six runs on ten hits in 5.2 innings is not a decent start, Feldman. Not at all. Sure, only five of those...
