HOUSTON -- The general rule is that the center fielder should catch anything that he can get to, but in the final milliseconds as Brett Gardner camped under Carlos Correa's fourth-inning fly ball, he flinched at the sight of another glove unexpectedly approaching.
Gardner had been calling for the ball, but so was Yankees left fielder Garrett Jones. Their voices were lost somewhere in the roaring Minute Maid Park crowd, so neither player made the catch, which allowed Correa to circle the bases with the Astros' first run of their 3-1 victory on Sunday.
