VIDEO: Sandoval dives over tarp to make impressive back-handed grab

Pandas can be graceful.

It may not have been the most balletic of plays, but Boston Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval made an impressive back-handed grab against the Chicago White Sox on Monday when he tracked down a foul ball in the second inning.

Sandoval, who is hitting .259/.309/.703, hasn't had the most exceptional of seasons for the Red Sox in the first year of a five-year, $100-million contract, so every fine play he can make will help soften the blow - just like the tarp did for him on Monday.
