Watch all of the best plays from Week 12 in MLB

June 20 was the first day of summer, and that means it's time to do summer things, like be serenaded next to a pool or grill some burgers with Keith Hernandez. And of course, watch plenty of baseball. It is, after all, the summer game.
In Week 12 of the MLB season, we met mini-Thor, watched some anthropomorphic dumplings wrestle and got a reminder from Dioner Navarro that intentional walks are no time to relax.

But what other great plays happened? Catch up on the best of MLB Week 12 below.
Best offensive play
A delightful Little League-style walk-off in Los Angeles, a Red Sox comeback, offensive fireworks from George Springer and a basestealing clinic from ... a pitcher.

Best defensive play
Kevin Pillar is Kevin Pillar, Javier Baez gets up close and personal with some fans, Adrian Gonzalez juggles so well he should join the circus and we're all very happy that Andrelton Simmons is back.

Best pitching performance
Two complete games, the continued dominance of Chris Sale and an abundance of Jose Fernandez strikeouts. 

Best catch by a non-(active) baseball player
A barehanded catch, a hat catch, a ballgirl who should be signed immediately and Dennis Eckersley.
