The Texas Rangers can't catch the hits that go over the fence, so they're doing their best to get to the ones that stay inside the yard.

After getting hammered by the Toronto Blue Jays in the first two games of the series, the Rangers turned to newly acquired outfielder Will Venable to bail them out in the second inning of the Thursday's finale.

With the Rangers leading 1-0 and the tying run on second base, Venable tracked a deep opposite-field shot off the bat of Cliff Pennington and made a sensational diving grab for the third out of the inning.
