Nice catch, nice catch, nice try

The second inning was notable for a handful of plays in the field.

First, Twins shortstop Adam Everett crashed into the stands behind third base while catching a foul pop by Shawn Riggans to end the top of the inning.

Then Jon Weber went up against the wall in left field to catch a line drive by Mike Lamb for the first out in the bottom of the frame.

With two outs, Weber tried to make a diving catch on Everett’s sinking line drive and missed it by, oh, a mile. Everett wound up at second, but did not advance as Shields eventually pitched himself out of the inning.
