VIDEO: Ryan Brasier Saves His Own Face With Incredible Snag of Gio Urshela's Screaming Line Drive
By Sean Facey
In a game where very little has gone right for the Red Sox, they at least avoided a possible injury disaster. With his team down 17-6 in just the sixth inning, Ryan Brasier made an insane catch on an absolute screamer off the bat of Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela to save both a hit and possibly his own life.
How the hell did Ryan Brasier catch this?!

It's truly amazing that Brasier managed to get the glove up in time for that catch. If he didn't he would have eaten the full force of that rocket right in the jaw.
The fans in attendance have been treated to quite the show out in London. The two teams combined for 24 runs through the first six innings, "The Freeze" lost a race, and Brasier basically saved his own life. Now that's an experience.
