Benintendi commits highway robbery with sensational snag

MLB.com

Andrew Benintendi might be wanted in about 47 states after this.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Steven Souza could do nothing but cry on the inside as his eighth-inning, deep fly ball to right field was spectacularly kept in the park by the Boston Red Sox rookie.

Benintendi chased Souza's all-but-certain home run to the Tropicana Field foul pole Monday night, before timing a perfect leap to rob the Rays right-fielder of a two-run homer, while nearly sending himself over the wall in the process.

It's been pretty solid for the 22-year-old as he also launched his first career home run Sunday.
