There wasn’t much to get excited about in last night’s 6-1 loss to the Braves, but if you were looking for something, like we were, you could highlight Nationals’ outfielder Victor Robles and his diving catch last night in center field. Robles tracked a Ronald Acuña, Jr. liner into deeeeep center, and dove at the track to rob the Braves’ phenom of extra bases and an RBI.
“The way it was hit, it was a rocket, and he goes back and catches it over the shoulder like that, that’s a heck of a play,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters.
