Daniel Nava ended Sunday’s game against Houston with a diving catch in right field to steal a hit from Robbie Grossman. It saved a run, too.
“It was just instincts” Nava said. “Just run after the ball and you’re hoping to get there.”
In the second inning, Nava made an over-the-shoulder catch of a ball Grossman hit to the warning track in right field. It ended the inning and left a runner stranded.
