Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez might be in the running for an Academy Award for falling in slow motion after being hit by a pitch during a loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Gomez showed off his acting prowess in the bottom of the sixth inning of the Rays' 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox Saturday at Tropicana Field in Tampa. He was in the box facing White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon during the sequence.
