In the eighth inning of Friday’s 3-1 win against the Nationals, first baseman Michael Busch ran to his left near the tarp and made a diving catch over the tarp, channeling his best Anthony Rizzo impersonation.
“The sun didn’t help, but I think it was high enough over there to where I got over there early enough to kind of adjust,” Busch said.
