WHAT A GRAB AT THE WALL 🤯 Mauricio Dubón robs Freddie Freeman https://t.co/TC6YWCA9xM Via @MLBONFOX on X

What happened: Dubon went over the top of the wall to bring the drive back and keep two runs off the board. The play came early in Game 3 of the NLDS in Atlanta with Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting.

Why it matters: Removing two runs in a postseason game shifts bullpen math for the middle innings. Freeman had tied Game 2 at 1-1 in the fourth on a 375-foot homer, which raised the stakes of the rematch.

By the numbers: Freeman tied Game 2 1-1 in the fourth with a 375-foot homer. Sale entered at 14-9 with a 2.16 ERA and 200 strikeouts in 162.2 innings; Yamamoto at 14-9 with a 2.53 ERA and 182 strikeouts in 185.0 innings.

What to watch: Game 3 continues in Atlanta on FS1. The outcome of the starting duel will shape late-inning matchups.
