Falling for the ball

Seattle Mariners left fielder Greg Halman (left) falls at first base while trying to catch a ball hit by Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin with one out at the bottom of the first inning at an away game in Chicago Monday. First base runner Juan Pierre, who started running late after Quentin’s hit, was tagged out at third thanks to a throw by Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutiérrez (right). Chicago won, 3-1.
