BOSTON -- At this point, Red Sox fans have become well accustomed to Mookie Betts' dazzling theatrics in center field. And on Monday night, the 22-year-old provided yet another memorable play against the Indians at Fenway Park.
With one out in the fifth inning, Tribe designated hitter Michael Brantley sliced a liner to left-center that hung in the air just long enough for Betts to race toward the ball, dive and reel it in as he hit the ground. The play drew an hearty ovation from the Fenway faithful, and Boston starter Matt Barnes joined in after watching his teammate cover that much ground so quickly.
