Must-See MLB Highlights From Sunday (September 6, 2020)

After an exhilarating Saturday, it was near impossible for Sunday to follow that up. However, the best team in the American League walked it off, while two of the best pitchers in the game took another step closer to winning Cy Young awards this season. On the offensive side of the ball, Gallo sent one to the triple deck and Edwin brought out the parrot after an absolute bomb off of his bat as well.

Enjoy the best highlights from Sunday’s MLB action all in one place:

Yes Way, Jose

As if the Brewers didn’t already have their hands full with Shane Bieber, they also had to deal with Jose Ramirez’s Platinum glove-caliber defense as Keston Hiura was forced to witness first hand.

Jazz Hands

Recently called up top prospect Jazz Chisholm is quickly showing his defensive acumen with this highlight of Jazz leaping backwards to rob a base hit from Lowe.

It's Cy Young Szn

Sunday marked a big day in both Cy Young races as Jacob deGrom and Shane Bieber did nothing but enhance their chances of winning the prestigious honor in 2020.

Jacob deGrom induced 35 swinging strikes today, which is tied for the most in a game since at least 2008. h/t @AndrewSimonMLB

#1 Team Walk Offs

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the best team in the league this year, but the Rays aren’t far behind as the #1 seed in the American League. They earned their 28th win of the season (28-13) after Brandon Lowe hit it plenty deep enough to score the game-winning run against their in-state rival.

The Pirates also walked it off after a sac fly game-winning RBI.

Gallo Goes Top Deck

Very few players in the big leagues have as much raw power as the Rangers slugger. Joey Gallo showcased his power potential by teeing off on this 1-2 offering that ended up traveling all the way to the top deck in T-Mobile Park.

Parrot Dagger

When Edwin Encarnacion brings out the parrot, that’s how the fans know some ball just got cranked and Sunday was a great example of that as the 37-year-old splashed one damn near 450 feet from home plate for the dagger in Chicago’s win in KC.

Freddie Slams it Again

After 11 years of hitting the second most bombs ever before recording a single Grand Slam, Freddie Freeman miraculously hit another one against the same opponent in the same series in one of the most unpredictable occurrences of an unprecedented season.

It look 11 years for @FreddieFreeman5 to hit his 1st grand slam.

Took him 2 days to hit his 2nd. pic.twitter.com/IDKLTXYEo0

Tatis Jr. is a Stud

Is there any player more exciting to watch in the game of baseball right now than Fernando Tatis Jr.? The young Padres sensation is barely old enough to buy adult beverages, yet he already shows full confidence on the field as his admiration of this clutch insurance shot is the latest highlight as part of Tatis’ 2020 MVP-campaign.

Kemp's Revenge

In 2011, Matt Kemp would’ve won the National League MVP award while a member of the Dodgers if it wasn’t for a steroid-boosted season from Ryan Braun. Now Kemp is a 35-year-old veteran playing for the division-rival Rockies and showed his former team what they’re missing out on with the clutch go-ahead shot in the 8th to give Colorado the series win over the Dodgers.

Send it to Burbank, @TheRealMattKemp. Let's goooooo! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/XklrV9BuzF

Mets Blowout Phils

The Philadelphia Phillies were the hottest team in the league after winning 10 out of 11 games once Bryce Harper made inspirational comments in a press conference. However, the Mets flipped the script on the fightin’ Phils by already taking 2 out of 3 in the series with the latest win coming in the form of an offensive avalanche, led by the face of the team Pete Alonso.
