The Mets jumped out to an early lead in Game 2 of the NLCS, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. In the top of the second, it looked as though the Cubs would get atleast one back. However, Curtis Granderson had other ideas.
With one out, Chris Coghlan drove a pitch from Noah Syndergaard deep to right field that looked destined to leave the yard. Granderson tracked it, timed his leap perfectly, and snagged the ball to bring it back into the yard.
Granderson hasn’t been a slouch at the plate, either. He came into the game hitting .381 during the postseason with two doubles and seven runs batted in through six games.
The Mets already boast a starting rotation many teams would be envious of. If they continue to get plays like this from the defense, it could be a short series for the Cubs.
