ARLINGTON, Texas -- Another elimination game, another miraculous, potential momentum-shifting catch by Mookie Betts. This time it was Game 7 of the National League Championship Series, as Betts robbed Freddie Freeman of a home run -- with the Atlanta Braves leading 3-2 in Sunday's fifth inning and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts already having to dip deep into his bullpen.

Betts' home-run robbery came two days after his shoestring catch turned into an inning-ending double play and propelled the Dodgers to victory in Game 4, and one day after his leaping, twisting, full-extension catch on Marcell Ozuna's deep fly ball saved a run.
