CLEVELAND – Indians right fielder Melky Cabrera is not a player known for his defense when it comes to playing the outfield, but Sunday he made three outstanding plays during the Tribe’s affair with the Angels.
Two of the catches came in the third inning to help out starter Shane Bieber, and the third catch against the wall came in the 4th inning.
Here’s video of the first (and best) catch of the three as Cabrera shows off his glove in a big way to help out the Tribe.

And of course Twitter had a lot to say about Cabrera after the grab(s):
It’s Melky Cabrera’s world today and we’re just living in it.

I wouldn't say Melky Cabrera is putting on a clinic in right field, but he has caught two baseballs while lunging/falling/sliding to help Bieber out here in the 3rd.
