Watch: Angels' Simmons makes circus catch out of routine pop-up

Stan Szeto / USA TODAY Sports

Andrelton Simmons is quite possibly the best defensive shortstop in baseball, but that doesn't mean he's perfect.

The slick-fielding member of the Los Angeles Angels had what looked to be an easy pop-up off the bat of Cleveland Indians outfielder Jay Bruce, but that's when things got dodgy. The ball bounced out of Simmons' glove as he fell to the ground, forcing him to snag it in mid-air with his bare hand.

Good thing he did, because that probably preserved the tie game.
