Jackie Bradley Jr. entered Tuesday in an awful offensive slump, not having managed a hit in a week.
But that doesn't mean he the outfielder didn't make his presence felt.
With two outs in the third inning and the Red Sox clinging to a 1-0 lead, the Rays' Austin Meadows stood at first with Brandon Lowe the plate. With count 0-1, Lowe lofted a slider from Nathan Eovaldi to the gap in right-center field.
Once the ball left the bat on the 83 mph line-drive it certainly seemed like the game was certain to be tied. And when it was initially ruled that Bradley Jr. had trapped the ball, that seemed to be the case. But then came a challenge from the Red Sox dugout and a minute or so later what we had was something completely different: another unbelievable catch from the Sox Gold-Glover.
