BOSTON – Chasing down a fly ball next to the wall down the left field line, third baseman Christopher Morel and left fielder Alexander Canario converged. At the last second, Morel vaulted over Canario, snagging the ball out of the air.
He landed hard, banging his right hip and both his elbows. But somehow he held onto Red Sox leadoff hitter Jarren Duran’s fly out for the final out of the seventh inning.
Cubs director of medical services PJ Mainville ran out to check on Morel, who walked off the field unassisted.
