Pirates defensive play of the year: Starling Marte robs the Reds twice

Today in SB Nation's MLB awards, we'll tackle the Pirates' best defensive play of the season. I watched a bunch of video for this, including of a ton of plays by Starling Marte, some big throws by Gregory Polanco, and the Bucs' triple play back in May (which didn't make the cut because the Bucs actually didn't even look all that great making it). The one -- or ones -- I kept coming back to was two plays by Marte in the ninth inning against the Reds on July 31.

I actually didn't even cover that game -- it was the trade deadline, so I was probably taking a nap or something after firing sparks from my keyboard all day.
