NEW YORK, NY – The top of the second inning featured sloppy New York Mets defense except for Tyrone Taylor.

The midfielder made one of the wildest catches you’ve ever seen that could have been incredibly disastrous.

New York had already allowed a run to go home because it couldn’t execute on weak contact – their first run of the game scored before a ball was even hit into the outfield.

But Tommy Edman was close to scoring two runs with a double – but Taylor saved the day.

Edman drove a ball into the gap in right center field that appeared to land between Taylor and Starling Marte – the two outfielders were also on a crash course to each other.

But Taylor somehow managed to make the diving catch, literally, against Marte’s leg, and avoid a Mike Cameron-Carlo Beltran situation.

The runner on third scored, resulting in an unfortunate stall for Edman, and Taylor undoubtedly saved the runner on first from scoring.
