Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Evan Carter talked about his huge catch in the Game 1 victory over the Houston Astros.
Because when the biggest moment of the game arrived, Carter, 21 and still fresh out of the minor leagues, made one of the biggest defensive plays in Rangers' history. And that's no exaggeration for a club that's been short on clutch postseason moments.
It started with Josh Sborz walking the Astros' Jose Altuve to lead off the eighth inning, as Texas led 2-0. Instead, it went into the deep cutout beyond the Crawford Boxes. Carter rotated his body back toward home plate and appeared to settle under the ball. But the ball kept flying. So Carter leaped, fully extended his glove and caught it.
Seager tossed the ball to Marcus Semien, who stomped on second base. Altuve was initially ruled safe until the play went to review officials, who overturned it."I had no idea if we were going to be able to double them up or not," Carter said after the game."Once I caught it, I'm just gonna get it in as quick as possible. You never know what's gonna happen.""That's all outfield's about," Carter said."Just going and getting it.
