Watch: Texas Rangers game delayed by scary collision between Cleveland Guardian fielders

Amazingly, both players remained in the game.

The Texas Rangers’ Tuesday night game against the Cleveland Guardians was briefly delayed in the fifth inning after a hard collision between two Cleveland position players.

With Texas trailing 6-3, Adolis Garcia blooped a high pop into shallow centerfield. Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio, sprinting out into center, and centerfielder Tyler Freeman, running in towards the infield, were both in the hunt to make the play. Unfortunately, both had eyes up toward the sky and apparently couldn’t hear the other calling for the ball.

The two collided, face-first, in the shallow outfield, both hitting the ground after and staying down for the next several minutes. Both were tended to by the Cleveland training staff.

Freeman, incredibly, held on to make the catch and retire Adolis Garcia. Perhaps even more incredibly: both players remained in the game. Freeman made a diving catch in centerfield the following inning.
