Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua isn't known for his wheels, but luckily he had the help of the New York Yankees on Thursday when he smacked an inside-the-park home run at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
The 25-year-old's liner off of CC Sabathia was misjudged by Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and rolled all the way to the center field wall, allowing Rua to sprint around the bases for the four-bagger - his fourth homer of the season - tying the game at five.
