WATCH: Sean Murphy gives Atlanta a one-run lead in the 8th inning

The Braves catcher sent a two-out fly ball to right field and Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki just...missed it

The Atlanta Braves just got a gift. 

With runners on 2nd and 3rd, down by a run with two outs in the bottom of the 8th, catcher Sean Murphy sent a lazy fly ball to right field, to the waiting glove of outfielder Seiya Suzuki. 

Who missed it. 

The ball landed behind Suzuki, scoring both Matt Olson from 3rd and pinch-runner Forrest Wall from 2nd, giving Atlanta a 7-6 lead.  

There wasn't a lot of wind, the light wasn't in his eyes, he just...missed it.
