If you're a fan of the invisible parrot Edwin Encarnacion takes for a stroll as he rounds the bases after home runs, you were in luck Saturday.

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Kendrys Morales sat on Erasmo Ramirez's fastball in the third inning, driving it deep to center field.

But before Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier could make out what was happening as the ball hit the catwalk, he made a mad dash for the wall to try to rob Morales of his two-run shot.

"Not for the future," he said. "For now."

So what's wrong with the New York Yankees relying on a 21-year-old starting pitcher?
