VIDEO: Indians OF Tyler Naquin Denies the Mets' Insurance Runs With Bullet Throw to Get Todd Frazier
By Karl Rasmussen
The New York Mets were looking to tack on another run to their lead over the Indians in the seventh inning after play resumed following a delay. Well, with Todd Frazier on third -- far from a threat on the base paths -- the Mets were hoping a sacrifice fly could knock him home. Unfortunately, they didn't account for the cannon sitting in left field, as Tyler Naquin emphatically gunned Frazier out at the plate with a picture-perfect throw.
It truly doesn't get much better than that. Naquin put all of his might into that laser, and it paid off as it one-hopped straight into Kevin Plawecki's mitt, who swiftly applied the tag on Frazier.
With the Tribe looking to claw back into this game and avoid a series sweep, Naquin's defensive heroics could not be more appreciated by his teammates.
