The second that New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud saw the lightning and heard the thunder, the only thing on his mind was getting to the dugout as quickly as possible.

The defending American League champion Kansas City Royals have their eyes on a World Series title this season, and they added some experienced pitching depth Sunday that could help them accomplish their goal.

Javier the Los Angeles Dodgers ball boy tried to make a highlight-reel catch during Sunday's game, but instead, he will likely end up on some blooper reels.

In the top of the fifth inning, Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart sliced a ball down the left-field line. Javier got in position to try to make the catch and jumped for the ball, but he came up empty.

And he tumbled backward over the wall.

San Diego Padres left fielder Justin Upton was not happy after getting caught stealing in the top of the eighth inning of Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies, and he inadvertently took out his frustrations on teammate Yonder Alonso.

Upton swung his helmet in disgust as he walked through the dugout toward the bat rack. While he was just trying to let off some steam, he ended up losing control of his helmet—which hit an unaware Alonso in the head.

The Washington Nationals pulled off what may go down as the most spectacular groundout to the right side of the infield in MLB history Saturday night.

In the top of the second inning of Saturday's game against the Cubs, Saladino made a great diving catch on a scorching liner off the bat of Cubs right fielder Chris Denorfia. There wasn't much time to react, but he managed to lay out and get his glove up to rob the batter of a hit.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval suffered a bruised elbow as a result of getting hit by a pitch in Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. X-rays were negative, but Sandoval is still missing game action.
