Braves RP Mark Melancon Catches Ozzie Albies's HR for Second Consecutive Game

Braves pitcher Mark Melancon caught an Ozzie Albies's home run for the second consecutive game.

Braves relief pitcher Mark Melancon is making a good case to become an emergency outfielder.

On Tuesday, and for the second consecutive night, Melancon caught a home run hit by his teammate, Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies, while residing in the bullpen.

Albies's 426-foot homer on Tuesday in Game 2 vs. the Dodgers extended Atlanta's lead to 8-3.

In Game 1, Albies's 420-foot two-run home run capped off a four-run ninth inning that proved to be the difference in the 5-1 Atlanta victory.

But while Melancon's home run shagging was impressive, the relief pitcher also got the save in the Braves' 8-7 win on Tuesday night.
