Simmons' glove on full display in pair of game-changing plays

TORONTO -- Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons put his Gold Glove defense on full display in Saturday's 6-5 loss in Toronto, executing a pair of attention-grabbing plays that demonstrated his athleticism and awareness.

In the sixth, Simmons made a heads-up play that prevented Devon Travis from gaining extra bases after he sent a chopper over the glove of third baseman Chris Johnson and into the outfield

Simmons chased the ball into left field, and with one motion, slid, barehanded it and fired to second as Travis retreated to the bag at first.
