Eric Hosmer playing first base showed how to contribute defensively

[ he was 0 for 4 at the plate ]

he ran down to the visitors bench and caught a foul pop fly, narrowly missing a collision with Stromon the pitcher

unfortunately I didn't get photos

[ photos cropped no other pp done ]

hot smash down the line

caught foul ball at the wall near the tarp

sweeping catch of a bouncing throw from pitcher in 9th inning

ball hit the pitcher's heel, rolled toward the plate and pitcher had problem finding it
