Original Toronto Star caption: Outfielder Jesse Barfield charged a sinking line drive off the bat of Mike Kingery in the seventh inning last night when he slipped on the rain-slickened field. The ball glanced off the heel of his glove and he nonchalantly made a bare-handed grab to close the Royals out in the seventh and set the stage for the Jays' 5 to 4 victory.
