Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts robs home run, saves shutout image

Red Sox starter Rich Hill owes Mookie Betts a dinner or a few drinks or a Best Buy gift card. He deserves something for this catch.

In the top of the ninth inning Friday night, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis stepped to the plate against Hill with Boston leading 7-0 and Baltimore down to its final out. Davis crushed a hanging breaking ball to right field, but Betts was there to save the day and the shutout.

Unbelievable. Betts even gave the ball to Hill in the handshake line. That's how you end a game.
