With a man on first and second and nobody out, with his Red Sox down 5-4 to the Rays, Jackie Bradley Jr. lined a ball that looked to be a certain gapper. Had the ball fell, two runs might have scored and the Red Sox could well have taken the lead.

The Red Sox would indeed add a run to tie the game 5-5, but had Kiermaier not performed his heroics, Tampa Bay would almost surely have been trailing going to the bottom of the ninth.
