The Los Angeles Dodgers put on a show Monday night against the Atlanta Braves. For the first few innings, defense was in the spotlight.

Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto held the Braves scoreless through the first four innings of a 9-0 win and the one time he needed help, his defense made history.

After Michael Harris II led off with a single, Jorge Soler doubled to deep center, prompting Harris to attempt to score from first. However, Kiké Hernández, from second base, made a perfect tumbling relay throw to the plate, executing half a front flip to nail Harris and shift the momentum.
