Parker Meadows tracked a 352-foot fly ball in the second inning Monday night at Comerica Park.
The 23-year-old center fielder, who had spent exactly 2,103 games in the minor leagues, completed the catch and couldn't help but smile. He pointed to his teammates in the outfield, right fielder Riley Greene and left fielder Akil Baddoo, after the first play of his MLB career.
"I gotta get used to that third deck up there," Meadows said. "It carried a little bit on me, but we caught the ball."
