Justin Upton got toppled by a Lorenzo Cain line drive, but he hung on to make the catch

In the top of the fourth inning of the Royals' 8-2 win over the Tigers on Wednesday, Lorenzo Cain smoked a line drive right at Detroit left fielder Justin Upton. The ball was hit hard -- so hard, in fact, that its force managed to knock Upton to the ground ... or, at least, we're sure that's what he'll go with in future tellings of this story:

Hey, look at the bright side: At least you got to do some stargazing on a beautiful night.
