On Monday night in Toronto, Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit a high pop fly along the left field line that would have dropped foul against most left fielders. Not the Yankees' Brett Gardner.
The play came after the Blue Jays rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning after blowing a 5-2 lead in the top of the frame. According to the MLB Statcast figures, Gardner covered 109.4 feet on the play at a max speed of 22.2 miles per hour in order to make the defensive gem.
The play sealed a 7-5 win for the Yankees.
