Watch: Rangers' Hoying smashes into outfield scoreboard on leaping catch
Kevin Jairaj / USA TODAY Sports
Playing only his ninth game of the season with the Texas Rangers on Saturday, for a moment it looked like Jared Hoying wouldn't be playing his 10th for a while.
With his team clinging to a 1-0 lead against the Toronto Blue Jays, Hoying made a leaping catch on a Kevin Pillar fly ball, crashing into the scoreboard in the Rogers Centre outfield.
Despite being shaken up, he stayed in the game. His acrobatics saved a run, but the Blue Jays struck later in the inning on a three-run Jose Bautista homer that no one was going to catch.
