Javier Báez added another play to his highlight reel Saturday afternoon.
The Chicago Cubs shortstop not only hit a go-ahead home run in the fifth inning against the San Diego Padres, he also helped erase the potential the tying run in the ninth.
With the Padres down 6-5 with one out, Wil Myers tried to steal second, but Báez had other plans as he completed a seemingly impossible behind-the-back, no-look tag for the out.

Baez makes it look so, so easy.
Chicago would go on to win and now are 7-1 since the All-Star break.
