Michael A. Taylor collected two outfield assists, made a leaping catch in center field, and came inches away from a spectacular diving play in left-center field in Monday’s series opener in Miami.
Taylor also went 2 for 4 with a double and a two-run single at the plate in what ended up an 8-7 loss.
Dusty Baker was impressed, and he let reporters and Taylor know.
“I told him, I said, ‘Michael, you’ve done everything in this game,’” Baker recounted.
