Braves fans freak out at Joc Pederson’s walk-off robbery
By Mark Powell
Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson made one of the catches of the season to clinch a win over the San Francisco Giants.
The Braves completed their comeback thanks to trade deadline acquisition Jorge Soler’s three-run blast to deep centerfield. But this all would have been for naught were it not for Pederson’s defensive heroics in the outfield.
With two outs in the ninth, a deep fly ball into the Atlanta night threatened to send Braves fans home unhappy from Truist Park. Instead, Pederson leapt into the air and made a tremendous play, robbing the Giants of another base-runner and one last chance at tying the game.

The Braves have won 17 of their last 21 games, and fans are believing another run to the NLCS — and perhaps beyond — is within reach.

There were many, many more where that came from.
Pederson is forever a Dodger at heart, screwing over the Giants every chance he gets. Thankfully for the Braves, he was in right field when it mattered most.
