Texas Rangers left fielder Travis Jankowski made an incredible catch Wednesday night to save the game and add to the Chicago White Sox's woes.
White Sox designated hitter Andrew Vaughn came to bat with two runners on base and hit a deep ball to Jankowski, who chased it down and made a leaping catch at the fence, bringing it back to the field and snatching the win for Chicago.

It was the second out of the inning and the Rangers closed out the game, winning 4-3.
“It was high, it had the perfect hang time,” Jankowski said. “If it had been a foot further away it was probably out of my reach. So it all just kind of worked out for me.”
Jankowski said pitcher Andrew Chaffin hugged him and offered to treat him to a steak dinner in praise of his catch.
“I said, 'No, your friendship and your hugs are enough,' and he hugged me again,” he said.
