Houston Astros catcher Hank Conger replaced Jason Castro in the fifth inning of Friday's contest against the Minnesota Twins and immediately made an impact.

The 27-year-old backstop showed cat-like reflexes when he barehanded a bunt attempt from Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and doubled up Shane Robinson at first.

Conger had replaced Castro – who sustained an apparent leg injury – in the top of the inning.
