Representing the American League in his first All-Star Game on Tuesday, Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez‘s slick move was named the Electric Play of the Week presented by Chevrolet on Monday.
In the bottom of the first at Dodger Stadium, Giménez fielded Manny Machado’s hot shot up the middle that kicked high off the mound, then made a behind-the-back flip to Tim Anderson at second base to start the double play.
“I’ve seen him doing those types of plays before, so I’m not surprised,” fellow All-Star Emmanuel Clase said of Giménez. “I know he’s a great player, and that’s what he does — being aggressive. … That’s what he’s always been doing.”
