Video: Dodgers’ Matt Kemp Robs Braves Outfielder Jason Heyward
While he isn’t hitting home runs so far this season, Matt Kemp took away a sure home run away from Braves outfielder Jason Heyward.
Heyward was the second batter of the game and hit a Chris Capuano pitch to left center and Kemp took over. Shaded more towards right center, Kemp came all the way over to snag Heyward’s hit and rob him of a home run.
