Mike Tauchman's Catch Robbing Pujols Homer         “The SF Giants 'Catch of the Year'” (5-28-2021)      (By Kerry Crowley, Mercury News, May 30, 2021)

Tauchman's Sensational Catch SF Giants lost three games to Dodgers in Los Angeles, tumbling to third place from first place in the NL West. Can they compete with World Series champs Dodgers and the first place San Diego Padres who had a 9-game winning streak? Doubts are raging. In the 4th game at Dodger Stadium, Giants tied Dodgers 2-2 through 7 innings, when Buster Posey hits 3-run homer in the 8th for 5-2 lead. Listening to the game on radio, thought Giants had the game won, when Barnes hits a 3-run homer in 9th to tie it 5-5— real heartbreaker! Then Albert Pujols' blast looks like a walk-off homer, but Tauchman leaps with glove over the wall and makes a sensational catch! The Giants rally in the 10th off closer ace Kenley Jansen to beat the Dodgers 8-5 for their best win of the year.   — Peter Y. Chou       Mountain View, 6-1-2021
