Martin nearly tumbles into Astros dugout

Russell Martin went all out trying to record the final out of Thursday's contest against the Houston Astros.

After Astros catcher Evan Gattis sent a 3-2 pop-up ballooning towards the stands in the ninth inning, the Blue Jays backstop stayed relentless in his pursuit of the ball as he chased it all the way to Houston's dugout. Martin's pursuit proved almost too relentless, as he almost made a dangerous flip over the railing had it not been for the quick thinking of Houston's coaches and teammate Justin Smoak holding him upright.

Obviously, Martin didn't secure the ball and missed the chance to record the game's final out, but that's still one impressive showing of teamwork.
