Padres outfielder Tommy Medica tripped as he attempted to settle under a routine fly ball hit by the Nationals' Bryce Harper in the 12th inning of San Diego's 4-3 win Thursday night.

To be fair, Medica is a former catcher who appeared exclusively at first base in 19 games with the Padres in 2013. Prior to this year, Medica's only experience in the outfield came in a Double-A game last season.
