Notorious Nats-killer Freddie Freeman almost did it to the WashingtonNationals again in the fourth tonight in Turner Field, sending a two-out shot to right-center for what looked like a home run until Ben Revere made a ridiculous leaping catch at the wall to bring it back in for out No. 3 of Tanner Roark’s fourth scoreless frame.

Revere can fly apparently...

Here’s what Dusty Baker had to say about Revere’s big catch after what ended up being a 7-6 win:

Tanner Roark’s reaction to the catch might be the best part of the play:
