San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar robbed Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts of a home run in the first inning of their Game 2 matchup on Sunday.
San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar stunned Los Angeles Dodgers fans in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday night. Mookie Betts hit a long drive to left field off Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish. Profar tracked the ball to the short fence in the corner of Dodger Stadium. Profar leaped and caught the ball in the face of about a half dozen fans who reached for the would-be home run ball.
Profar came down with the ball but didn’t show it to the umpires immediately. Instead, he talked a little bit of trash to the fans he stole the ball away from. One man even gave the Padres player some props for making an incredible catch. 'That was one of my wishes all the time,' he told FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal in a mid-game interview, 'I want to rob a home run. And I did it in a playoff game. It was awesome.
Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run home run in the first playoff game of his career. He was 2-for-5 in the win. Profar was 0-for-3 in that game. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
