2. With two outs in the ninth, catch prevents walk-off homer
The Braves completed a sweep of the Mets last night, but it wasn't necessarily easy. Down 3-0 early in the game, the Braves fought back to take a 4-3 lead. But with a runner on and Yoenis Cespedes as the plate, things nearly went very badly for the Braves.
