Texas Rangers left fielder Travis Jankowski added to the Chicago White Sox's misery on Wednesday night when he made an incredible game-saving catch.
White Sox designated hitter Andrew Vaughn was up at bat with two runners on base and hit a deep line drive toward Jankowski. The outfielder was able to track the ball and make a leaping catch over the fence to bring it back into the park and rob Chicago of the win.

It was the second out of the inning and the Rangers were able to close the door and win the game, 4-3.
“It was really high. You know the hang time was perfect,” Jankowski said. “If it was a foot further away, it would probably be out of my reach. So for me, it's like everything just lined up.”
Jankowski said pitcher Andrew Chafin gave him a big hug for making the catch and offered to buy him a steak dinner.
“I said, 'No, man. Your friendship and the hug are enough,' and then he gave me another hug,” he said.
