Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler makes incredible catch in seventh inning

By  Blair Sheade
   

In the top of the seventh inning, the Kansas City Royals had runners on the corners with two outs.

Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar, who hit the first pitch home run off Jake Arrieta in the first inning, had a blooper to center field that looked like it could drop for a hit.

Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler was able to get under it, and save a run for the Cubs.

MLB.com writer Carrie Muskat thinks Fowler should earn some more All-Star votes for that catch.
