Watch: Rickard makes circus catch to rob Benintendi with bases loaded

Bob DeChiara / USA TODAY Sports

The Baltimore Orioles certainly aren't known for their defense in right field, but Joey Rickard was flashing the leather in a big way Thursday night at Fenway Park.

Armed with an 8-3 lead over the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the seventh, Orioles reliever Mychal Givens loaded the bases with two outs and Andrew Benintendi stepping to the plate.

Benintendi scorched a 101-mph line drive to deep right field that had Rickard turned around before he managed to make a leaping catch to end the inning.
