Royals outfielder Alex Gordon made a fine catch in the Comerica Park outfield this afternoon to preserve a 5-0 lead over the the Tigers who just finished up their Christmas in August sale. Ironically enough it was off the bat of Mikie Mahtook who has had quite the past 24 hours.

Unfortunately for Gordon though his catch is still no match for Gorkys Hernandez‘s stunning rob Sunday.
