Jackie Bradley Jr. Reacts To Mookie Betts Robbing Freddie Freeman Of Home Run
Betts got UP for this highlight-reel grab
Another game, another web gem from Mookie Betts.
Betts flashed the leather and then some Sunday night during Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. With the Los Angeles Dodgers trailing the Atlanta Braves 3-2 in the fifth inning at Globe Life Field, Betts prevented the NL East champs from doubling their lead by leaping and reaching over the wall to rob Freddie Freeman of a one-out home run.
The spectacular grab prompted a slew of reactionary tweets, including one from Jackie Bradley Jr., who had a front-row seat to plenty of Betts’ most impressive catches.
Betts’ snag proved to be a momentum-shifter for the Dodgers. Kike Hernandez knotted the game up at 3-3 with a solo shot in the sixth inning and Cody Bellinger followed suit a frame later to give LA a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.
The Dodgers now are on to the World Series where they’ll meet the Tampa Bay Rays. Game 1 of the best-of-seven set is slated for Tuesday night.
