Oakland A's relief pitcher Travis Blackley made a nice easy catch of a foul line drive from the A's bullpen during Thursday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
It happened in the top of the eighth inning as Blue Jays batter Edwin Encarnacion hit the line drive foul towards the left field stands. While fans and other members of the A's bullpen were ducking for cover, Blackley simply stood up and made the easy grab. Afterwards, Blackley tossed the ball to a fan in the stands.
