Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski made one of the catches of the year Wednesday, robbing Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn of a game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

"I mean, it was over the fence," Vaughn said postgame, per MLB.com's Scott Merkin. "Guy made one of the greatest catches you'll see in a long time."
The Rangers hung on for a 4-3 win, handing the White Sox a sixth straight loss and their 103rd defeat of the season.
"I don't know if you could get any further over the fence than he did and full extension with his arm and bringing it back in that situation in the ninth, it's crazy. I can't believe it. I still can't believe it," White Sox manager Grady Sizemore said, according to Merkin.
The White Sox will look to avoid a three-game sweep when the two teams conclude the series Thursday afternoon.
