VIDEO: Juan Uribe Makes Stop And Drives In Go-Ahead Run
Matt Kemp stole the show once again, first with his solo home run and at the end of the night with a walk-off single in the 10th inning. However, before Kemp could play the role of hero, Juan Uribe turned in a pair of impressive plays.
As he’s done on multiple occasions this season, Uribe flashed some leather on a sliding stop in the seventh inning to help Zack Greinke keep the Braves off the basepaths in the inning:
With the teams still locked in a 1-1 tie the following inning, Uribe came to the plate with two outs and Kemp at second base, representing the go-ahead run.
Although it wasn’t a single that cleanly reached the outfield, Uribe hit a chopper up the middle that Andrelton Simmons managed to prevent from rolling to center, but Kemp still managed to score:
Uribe finished the game 2-for-4 with the one RBI as the Dodgers won their fifth consecutive game and maintained their three-game lead over the San Francisco Giants in the NL West standings.
