Cedric Mullins: You can't escape him.
It was a big Sunday for the Baltimore Orioles centerfielder after he robbed a game-tying home run,Burley Garcia and the following inning, hit the game winning home run against the Seattle Mariners.
The Orioles were up 3-2 in the top of the ninth inning when Ty France got solid contact against Mike Baumann, sending a fly ball to deep centerfield. The ball was headed toward going over the fence and tying the game, but Mullins leaped against the wall and caught the ball in one of the best home run robberies of the 2023 season.
The home run saving catch proved to be pivotal, as Mariners right fielder Dominic Canzone hit a home run in the next at-bat to tie the game and send it into extra innings.
