Need a run-saving catch? Call Nori Aoki!
Royals outfielder Nori Aoki made another run-saving catch in the seventh inning of Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels, recovering from a strange rout to snag a deep fly ball off the bat of C.J. Cron.
Aoki has drawn quite the response on Twitter:
Nori Aoki doffs cap to fans in RF after great catch, gets booed. #Royals OF has taken away 4 hits, #Angels have 3.
