ST. PETERSBURG — The Rays were on the wrong end of one of the best plays of the season in Wednesday’s 5-3 loss to the Brewers. In the bottom of the second inning, Randy Arozarena blasted a pitch to deep centerfield. Milwaukee’s Jonathan Davis sprinted after it and made a full-extension diving grab.

Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Jonathan Davis potentially made the catch of the year Wednesday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays. The incredible play came in the second inning with Randy Arozarena batting for the Rays.
