Kiermaier makes unreal grab despite illness

On what looked to be a sure extra-base hit for Houston catcher Brian McCann off the right-center-field wall with one out in the second inning, Kiermaier lept with his back to the padding and stretched his glove high to the top railing to rob McCann.

Per Statcast™, McCann had a 65 percent chance to record a hit on the play. Kiermaier, however, had other plans.

The highlight-reel snag sent the crowd into a frenzy as Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb saluted Kiermaier's effort by turning in awe while hoisting both arms into the air.
