Soriano's leaping catch robs Machado of home run (VIDEO)

Alfonso Soriano makes a spectacular leaping catch over the left-field wall to take a home run away from the Orioles' Manny Machado in the eighth inning Thursday night at Camden Yards.

The Yankees leftfielder gives a little salute to a grateful Dave Robertson on the mound after making the dramatic catch. Soriano's grab became even more important after the Yankees blew a four-run lead in the game.

The Yankees ended up winning, 6-5, to stay one game behind the Rays in the AL Wild Card race.

Manny Machado makes sweet barehanded play against Yankees (VIDEO)

Chris Davis and Adam Jones may get all the headlines in Baltimore due to their offensive power, but Manny Machado — a terrific hitter himself — has been putting together quite a resume of defensive highlights at third base. Those clips include this incredible barehanded catch and throw of Alfonso's Soriano's slow grounder at Camden Yards against the Yankees Wednesday night.

It didn't stop the Yankees from going on to a 5-4 victory — pulling themselves over the O's in the AL Wild Card race.

Annoying fan videobombs friend's camera time during Soriano introduction

A Yankees fan with a homemade sign welcoming back Alfonso Soriano —after a 10-year leave — had his big moment on the Jumbotron video-bombed by his annoying pal.

There was a nice welcome during the left fielder's intro before his first at-bat wearing pinstripes after his trade back to Yankee Stadium.  Picked out of the crowd by the TV booth was the guy holding the simple sign with the words "Welcome Back Soriano." He got some valuable face time on the big screen until his goofy bud stuck out his tongue and ruined the moment.

Soriano wasn't much better with his new friends on the Yankees roster.  He was 0-for-5 with a run scored and and RBI as the home team got trounced by the Rays, 10-6.

With friends like these.
