Sorry, Didi Gregorius. Better luck next time.

With his New York Yankees trailing 2-0 In the top of the third inning of Saturday night's contest against the Chicago White Sox, Gregorius swatted a ball deep into right field for what looked like a go-ahead, three-run home run.

Unfortunately for Gregorius, Avisail Garcia had other plans, making a phenomenal leaping catch to hold the Yankees shortstop to a long sacrifice fly.

The surprisingly nimble Garcia, who weighs 240 pounds, performed a similar leaping grab on July. 4, when he stole a homer away from Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles.
