ATLANTA -- Andrelton Simmons did what he does best in the Braves' 2-1 win over the Phillies on Saturday night.
The Braves were in a crunch-time situation. Andres Blanco stood on second base for the Phillies, representing the tying run. Arodys Vizcaino left a pitch over the plate for Darnell Sweeney to hit. Sweeney slammed the pitch up the middle, a smack that looked as if it could've scored the tying run from second.
But it didn't.
Simmons, the Gold Glove shortstop, dove into frame at the last possible second, snagging the ball out of the air near the middle of the infield, recording Vizcaino's second out of the inning and ostensibly saving the game for the Braves.
