"In the eighth inning, the Yankees held a commanding 4-0 lead thanks to a historic performance from rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler. With his 106th pitch of the game, Schlittler threw Red Sox left fielder Jarren Duran a high fastball. Duran's bat was just under the ball, causing it to sky upward in foul territory. Tracking it all the way was McMahon, who sprinted toward the Red Sox dugout."
"Although McMahon managed to catch the ball to secure the second out of the inning, his momentum sent him over the railing and into the dugout. Fortunately for McMahon, Red Sox pitcher Greg Weissert was there to catch his legs and prevent him from hitting the ground with any significant force. McMahon quickly got up and jogged out of the dugout to resume play."
"I didn't feel anything. Just kept rolling with the adrenaline, popped back up and was just happy to make the play."
