Texas Rangers center fielder Evan Carter made a spectacular catch to deny Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Oneil Cruz a three-run homer on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field.

In Arlington, Rangers center fielder Evan Carter leaped at the wall to rob Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz of a go-ahead three-run home run. The ball came off a 95.1 mph sinker from starter Kumar Rocker, thrown middle-middle with two outs in the fourth inning. Carter's effort helped Rocker avoid an early exit against Pittsburgh on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field. Rocker entered the game with an 0-1 record and 4.30 ERA over three starts, none lasting beyond five innings. Minutes before Carter's catch, Rangers left fielder Wyatt Langford was removed before the top of the fifth due to right forearm tightness. This marks the second injury-related exit for Langford this season; he previously strained his right quad on April 10 in Los Angeles, missing three games before returning on April 14.
