August 16th, 2022 was highlighted by Milwaukee overcoming Chris Taylor’s insane game-saving catch to walk off LAD in the 11th on Victor Caratini’s RBI single. Atlanta continued its trend of locking up their young stars by extending rookie OF Michael Harris to a 8y/$72M deal, Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt combined for a sick diving play, while Tyler O’Neill’s game-ending HBP won it for STL vs. COL. Brandon Crawford launched a walk-off two-run bomb to beat ARZ, plus a wild pitch that went through the home plate umpire’s legs turned into an out.
