What happened: The catch erased a bases-loaded drive at the wall. Tatis also hit two home runs in the 5-2 win.

Why it matters: The four-run prevention exceeded the three-run margin of victory. The honor adds to a defensive résumé that includes two Platinum Gloves.

By the numbers: Tatis denied a potential four-run homer on a 337-foot drive, hit two homers and helped produce a 5-2 final.

What to watch: Watch whether Tatis carries that two-way impact into the next series.
