With the Mets holding a slim advantage in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Reds’ Joey Votto came to bat representing a potential game-altering hit. He connected with a pitch and sent a towering fly ball soaring towards the deepest part of center field. The drive carried all the way to the wall, seeming for a moment as though it might clear the fence for a dramatic home run that would change the complexion of the game. However, the Mets outfielder positioned himself perfectly, making the catch right at the warning track for the third and final out, preserving New York’s tense one-run victory.
