Shogo Akiyama makes game-saving catch as Cincinnati Reds beat the Marlins

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama has made a list of clutch catches this season that had the pitcher pointing to the outfield and his teammates running to the top of the dugout to celebrate.

On Saturday against the Miami Marlins, Akiyama changed another game with his defense.

He made a sliding catch with the bases loaded to keep the score tied in the fifth inning. Akiyama prevented at least two runs from scoring, giving the Reds an opportunity to clinch a series win with a 7-4 win over the Miami Marlins in front of a crowd of 34,433.
