Astros' Dubón exits after crashing into wall on great catch
Houston Astros outfielder Mauricio Dubón exited Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after slamming into the wall in left field to make an incredible running catch in the seventh inning.
Amazing catch by Dubón, who ran 130 feet to catch this Urias fly ball before a nasty crash into the wall.

Dubón was down for a few minutes before walking off under his own power. Many of his teammates and manager Joe Espada went to check him out. pic.twitter.com/BnMBSDYoDE
Dubón stayed down on the field for several minutes before walking off under his own power with a towel pressed against his mouth and chin.
Mauricio Dubón will be sore tomorrow, but Joe Espada seemed to think he escaped any serious injury. Doctors checked him and everything was OK
