Rangers infielder Marcus Semien may need to consider finding a new place to put his batting gloves while running the bases.
During Thursday night’s ALCS Game 4 against the Astros, Semien was attempting to retreat back to first base to avoid getting doubled up after a hard line drive from Corey Seager was speared by first baseman José Abreu.
The two raced back to first base, and while it appeared at first glance that Semien had slid in safely, Houston challenged the call, and the ruling was reversed after it was determined that Abreu had successfully tagged the batting glove in Semien’s back pocket.
