The Milwaukee Brewers' Willy Adames thrills the crowd in Game 2 of the NLDS with his amazing first-inning catch
Christopher Kuhagen
Willy Adames has energized the Milwaukee Brewers this season with his play and personality since he arrived from Tampa Bay in May.
He did it again in Game 2 of the National League Division Series with his amazing catch in foul territory in the top of the first inning against the Atlanta Braves. And it put the towel-waving crowd at American Family Field on its feet.
With a 1-1 count and one out and Freddie Freeman on first base, the left-handed hitting Ozzie Albies popped it up on the left side past third base in foul territory.
It didn't seem like any Brewers player had a chance. Then Adames entered the picture. Adames was already moved over from his usual position with a shift on, but the speedy shortstop ran toward the tarp near the seats. He stuck out his glove and made the no-look catch before crashing into the tarp.
Take a look at the highlight-reel catch here.
