Victor Robles made a fairly spectacular diving play in the outfield in Chicago’s Wrigley Field, robbing Cubs’ C/1B P.J. Higgins of extra bases with an all-out, full-extension catch in the fifth inning of the series finale on Wednesday which will end up on highlight reels for the Washington Nationals’ 2022 campaign.
In the seventh, however, Robles made a bad decision on a throw in from center field.
With Steve Cishek on the mound, and a runner on, Cishek walked Higgins, before giving up an RBI single by Nick Madrigal, on which Patrick Wisdom scored, and Robles airmailed a throw home when he had no shot at Wisdom, sending it over home and straight to the backstop, allowing both runners to advance with one out, in a 2-2 game, and a sac fly put the Cubs up for good in what ended up a 4-2 win for the home team.
