PHOENIX — Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy leaped up at the wall and brought back a potential game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Arizona’s 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Matt Olson hit a deep fly ball the other way off D-backs closer Paul Sewald, who for a moment was in serious danger of blowing his fourth save in five attempts. Playing left field, McCarthy went straight back and jumped up with both legs, making the grab with his right arm extended.
