Rays ballboy in midseason form on diving stop

There was a lot of action in the Rays' 5-1 win over the Blue Jays game on Saturday at The Trop.
There was Randy Arozarena belting a home run … and then signing autographs in the dugout.
There was a dust-up at third base which led to a benches-clearing skirmish.
But the most exciting event of all may have been a Gold Glove-caliber two-hop snag by a Rays ballboy in the seventh inning.
With the Blue Jays trailing 3-1, four-time All-Star George Springer was at the dish as the potential tying run. Rays reliever Phil Maton was on the bump, facing his only batter of the day.
Springer sliced a ball into foul territory down the right-field line. And then, it happened. Our ever-ready superstar leapt out of his seat to make a slick snag, then casually tossed the ball into the crowd.
No word on whether he was asked to sign the souvenir, like Arozarena.
