Cleveland Indian center fielder Michael Brantley made the catch of the day on Saturday by robbing Alex Rios of a home run. Brantley made a leaping grab in the bottom of the first inning, taking away a two-run home run to dead center field.
Although the game turned out to be a 14-7 slugfest, Brantley’s amazing catch is one of the best catches of the young season.
