Reddick’s super catch a headache, but one he can live with

Josh Reddick was answering to the name “Superman’’ in the clubhouse after Wednesday’s game thanks to the crazy diving catch he made against the Twins’ Brian Dozier in the fifth inning.

Reddick took to the air to stretch out and steal a double, or triple, from Dozier, to earn the title, although he admitted Thursday morning he liked a `Spiderman’’ reference to the catch better.

Either way, it wound up causing a little pain.

   “I wound up head-butting the ground,’’ Reddick said, saying his cap remained on so the bill of the cap drove back into his head as he landed and slid in right-center.
