There's a new frontrunner for MLB's Catch of the Year.
Two outfielders from the Boston Red Sox teamed up to rob Detroit Tigers slugger Kerry Carpenter of a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh inning May 14 at Comerica Park. Right fielder Wilyer Abreu put his glove above the wall, only for the ball to deflect off his glove and into the arms of center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela.
It was a home run — until it wasn't.
The Tigers should've taken the lead on Carpenter's swing, but they had to wait until the bottom of the ninth, when Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a walk-off single for a 6-5 win over the Red Sox, sweeping the three-game series.
