What happened: A veteran outfielder said players dream of chances to rob home runs and emphasized the technique behind timing a leap at the wall. Fernando Tatis Jr. denied Francisco Lindor with two outs in the second inning Tuesday.
Why it matters: The catch preserved a 1-0 lead in an eventual 5-2 win, turning a potential four-run swing into an out. Tatis also hit two home runs in the game.
By the numbers: Lindor's drive registered a 95.0 mph exit velocity, a 39-degree launch angle and a projected distance of 337 feet.
What to watch: Tatis' positioning and jump timing will merit attention on his next chances at the wall.
