J.P. Arencibia nearly tumbles into camera well chasing foul ball (Video) ~ Holdout Sports

Texas Rangers catcher J.P. Arencibia nearly tumbled into a camera well while trying to catch a foul popup during Monday night's game against Seattle.

It happened in the top of the sixth with one out and two men on as Mariners batter Dustin Ackley popped up a 3-1 pitch into foul territory. Arencibia appeared to make the catch, but the ball popped out of his glove as he collided into the railing in front of the camera well near the Mariners dugout. Making matters worse, Arencibia's momentum carried him head-first over the railing. Fortunately, Arencibia was able to stop himself from falling in while third baseman Kyle Kouzmanoff helped straighten him back up.

In the end, Ackley singled on the next pitch, driving in a run. The Mariners scored six runs in the inning to help them to a 7-1 victory over the Rangers.
