MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — All Steven Souza Jr. could do after making a head-scratching blunder in the outfield was laugh, take his medicine and wave to the jeering crowd.
Oh, and hit a homer.
Souza followed an embarrassing misplay in right field with a towering solo shot to back Chris Archer’s 11 strikeouts in Tampa Bay’s 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
“I’m going to be a GIF forever,” Souza said with a chuckle.
Kennys Vargas hit a looping liner into right-center field in the seventh inning and Souza gave chase.
